The woman in front of him was eating roasted peanuts that smelled so good that he could barely contain his hunger.

A shrimp cocktail and some fried peanuts for appetizer. A plate of Shanghai crab, a grilled fish, a roast spring chicken and a cauliflower soup.

Seeing a sweet potato stand and thinking this was much better than peanuts, Hung- chien decided to get some for breakfast.
