Lunchtime!

Here we have both sides of the tabletop menu from popular (with me, at least) local eatery 零点. You've got a selection of cold dishes on one side, and on the other various noodle and 抄手 options - which as far as I can see are 馄饨 by another name.

I'm generously providing you with a 15Y lunch budget - what are you having?

Is 零点 a sichuan restaurant? It has so many "四川" dishes, and we do call 馄饨 as 抄手 here.

I would go for 香辣牛肉抄手 with 拍黄瓜 as the side dish.

Basically that's the entire menu, so you are as qualified to decide what kind of place it is as I am. It's very small, only about eight tables and that's after the recent expansion. I usually go for the 清汤牛肉抄手 or the 干扭杂酱面 (is 干扭 Sichuanspeak for 干拌, by the way, never seen it used elsewhere), although I've been a bit disappointed by that lately. And a side order of 苦瓜.

What's 伤心凉粉? Is it any good?

Looked that up a while ago - it's 伤心 as it's so spicy you cry, and it's 凉粉 because . . . well, you can probably guess that bit. Never actually had it.

Hmmm, just noticed they do a 干扭抄手 - will be trying that I think, as I stopped having the 抄手 in summer as the soup gets me all sweaty. But that's 香辣, so I'll have a cooling 拍黄瓜 for palate-cleansing purposes. That comes in under budget I think, and maybe even enough left over for a drink.

I hate mushrooms, so certainly not the 木耳 dish.

I'll have what you're having.. not really heard of the rest ;)

As promised, the 干扭抄手 and 黄瓜。 13Y. Very tasty, but could have done with a large bowl rather than small.

So not "shogo dwawah" then? (fujianese saying meaning "it's cheap and a big bowl");)
