This Hunan-style restaurant has an extensive menu I would have explored further, if I weren't headed in a few hours for Shanghai. Given my uncertainty over the sleeper train's onboard facilities, I limited myself to a plateful of "ants climbing trees" (Y18), a traditional Western Chinese dish of vermicelli with minced pork. Washed down with a draft mug of "yellow fresh beer" (Y12); "black fresh beer" is available to accompany heartier entrees.
