we had fried dough sticks for lunch in our canteen today. It was a new dish. A Chinese teacher asked the staff member to give her more after the first portion. I did the same. I asked her “do you also have it in your hometown for breakfast?” She said yes. I asked “what do you call it?” She answered “youtiao” and asked me the same question. I said “guozi”. She said “what?” I repeated “guozi. Like in ‘Jianbing guozi’”.
My mother tries to buy it for me every weekend, but I always try to refuse because I don’t want to be addicted to it. But sometimes she still buys it successfully.
Hometown, what time is it?

Chinese teacher asked the staff member to give her more after the first portion(asked the staff member to give her a second helping).
I did the same. I asked her “do you also have it in your hometown for
breakfast?” She said yes. I asked “what do you call it?” She answered “youtiao”
and she asked me the same question. I said “guozi”. She said “what?” I repeated
“guozi. Like in ‘Jianbing guozi’”. My mother tries to buy it for me every
weekend, but I always try to refuse because I don’t want to be addicted to it.
But sometimes she still buys it anyway. Hometown, what time is it?
We sometimes say "second helping or second serving." Ex : Can I have a second helping?
We also have it in our Chinese restaurants. It often served together with rice porridge. On the menu, they also usually call it fried dough sticks or YouTiao.
