It's a Muslim restauant, Helen, and the headscarves are a Chinese version of the "chador" or veil that middle eastern women wear. That's also why the man is wearing a little white hat, because of his religion not his profession. I'm in Guangdong province in southern China.

Lots of great color and vibrancy here. --Melanie

I never could understand how they do that, but they sure do taste good! Good capture, and I think the surrounding elements really add to it. Out of curiosity, where in China is this? It looks like the women are wearing headscarves, which I didn't realize was a custom there. Helen

I like how you've presented this one, John...a slice of life in China, "with a twist" :) MFC

Thanks for your supportive comments, Mike. I notice that everyone else has the movement as the main element of their photo, which is just good photography, I guess. Mine has lots of other little details around the periphery because I wanted people to see that too: the noodle guy and his noodles in their context.

John, I always enjoy seeing your photo portrayals of everyday life in China. This looks like a local eatery...& the "noodle flipping" is interesting to view. It reminds me of somebody flipping pizza dough at one of my local pizza parlors. Nice candid. MFC
