That is because these foods are generally sell with a cart or pole carried by the merchant. Cuanki’s concept is similar to meatballs, with beef meatballs and refined processed flour is sprinkled with savory sauce, then sprinkled with chopped celery leaves and the most important is fried dumplings, sometimes it's add by tofu and meatballs too.
