This is Hakka country and generally speaking the bill of fare for the general public is noodles. You will pay about �6 for a bowl of noodles with some green leafy stuff thrown in. The food tends to be a bit bland and stodgy. There are no eggrolls but there is dim sum to a point. Dumplings usually are in the morning for breakfast, as well as, you guessed it, noodles, the breakfast of champions. As for eating street food, no stomach issues so be a little adventurous but if the place is a real dive then maybe stay away. It may gross you out to see them washing the dishes out of a dingy bucket of dirty water.
The bigger and better restaurants and hotels have a wider spectrum. Tofu from street vendors and is actually quite good and sort of a distant cousin to scrambled eggs.
There are plenty of places doing rice instead of noodles and although that is not much of a stretch it does help when you are noodled out. Fried rice is not the norm, usually it is a bowl of white rice with bowls of other stuff. Some of it, as at the Happy Restaurant on Ding Min Lu is quite tasty although the place looks like a warehouse instead of an eatery. The pork stuffed tofu is quite good but the pigs legs are not for the faint of heart.
