I visited Chengdu recently and have eaten many roadside hawkers food many times. It is cheap and good. I wonder if these hawkers are licensed by the Government or are they illegal hawkers? Any way to know?

Hey, your nik is almost similar to mine !!
Does it matter whether these hawkers are licensed - as long as the food trastes good and is hygenic !!

I try not to look at how they prepare the food. It does not look hygienic but at least I don't get upset stomach. Thank God! I saw a hawker at Shanghai Railway Station selling fried food using a oil-drum cover as a wok. Aah! She is also doing quite a good business.

I don't think the State Administration For Industry & Commerce of various levels will issue any kind of licence or permit to street hawkers, which means they don't have a stable place to do the business...

I eat the street food, too and never got upset stomach, but some of my friends were not so lucky as I am..., sometimes they feel really bad after eating those food.
