Guilin horsemeat noodles

Guillin's local specialty is a type of soft rice noodle in soup called, surprisingly enough, "Guilin noodles." They're about as unspectacular as their name, and I tended to avoid them during my stay in Guangxi. However, I did learn recently that the classic version is made with horse meat, and I got to try this much more interesting incarnation at the train station right before I left. The horse is smoked (I think) and dried, and they shave thin slices off of it onto the cooked noodles. you add toppings, some soup (which rehydrates the horse), and you're off! Some horse humor there. Sorry for the lousy camerawork, I was trying to be discrete. Remember this is at a train station. Note: My second equine dish in two days (See also: Donkey hotpot, Yangshuo). Donkey is better!

omg if u judge guilin's food u should never eat food at the train stations, that's like buying food at six flags...overpriced and not nearly as good as it should be
