Gan's Noodle Shop is an easily overlooked hole-in-the-wall nestled amid other such shops in the Lower Ring. The outside is unremarkable, with a single grimy window cut into the stone facing and a cloth drape in place of a proper door.
An Upper Ring tea shop created, funded, and stocked by Quon for Moshi after Quon managed to poach Moshi from his original employer under whom Moshi gained notoriety as the best tea maker in Ba Sing Se. Staffed by several hostesses and waiters who are very kind.
Located in the Middle Ring, this "hidden jewel" may never rise above its "B" rating to attract the oval-ring set, but is considered a "charming", "reasonably priced" place with "real bistro atmosphere", and a "rare find" popular with the Ba Sing Se and Spa University sets. The Middle Ring restaurant offers a "Tourist Menu" and an "unbelievably complex" fried appetizer sampler platter.
A dingy little tea shop, the Stone Kettle is tucked in an alley off a boisterious restaurant row in the Middle Ring, not far from where the Flying Koi Carnival takes place. It is a spot that tourists might overlook, but local workers know they can get good black tea there between shifts.
