I noticed that Boonna 3 cafe has a laminated document on one of their walls with a big red frowning face on it. Looking more closely I see that it’s a food safety document, and apparently, Boonna 3 failed because that’s what the red frowning face means. And they had to hang that up in public for all the people to see. I don’t think that many people noticed it, or really cared. So if you are in the mood for compromising your health and safety at Boonna 3, I recommend the omelette, which is small but quite tasty, with nice morsels of ham, cheese, and peppers. I’ve always liked their sandwiches as well, even though they never seemed to be quite the same as a “real” western sandwich that you might get in Europe or North America.

This is the first time that I have ever seen this kind of food safety document, and now I am curious to see what emoticon is used for the other levels or gradations.

As for Fortune Soup, well, tonight was the first night that I’d ever been there, even though they had a Weihai Lu store that has been around since around May of last year. I was at the new one on Huashan Lu near WLMQ Lu, just by Huashan Hospital. I paid 20 rmb for a chicken and mushroom soup, which was quite tasty and I think will be just the right thing for a quick eat or snack as temperatures drop over the next few weeks.
