We Don't Make It Till You Order It

This past Sunday I was trying to run some errands on my skates. I stopped in at a fast-food chain noodle restaurant called Malan. I hadn't heard of the place before but it looked clean and had plenty of people inside. I did my normal random ordering of food and I chose a simple noodle dish.
The kitchen was completely open to view so I watched one of the guys in the back kneading dough and pulling it out into long strings. Cool! He was making noodles in the back. After 10 or 20 seconds, I realized that he was making my noodles! Even though it was a fast-food restaurant, there was enough training of the staff to have someone making noodles from scratch on demand. Kind of puts Burger King to shame since they can't even actually make the patties of their burgers much less knead the dough for the bread on-site (and they have used that famous tag-line). Just one of those pleasant reminders that you're in China.
