Dried fish slice, chopped green onion, salad sauce. ¥8.2
How Sweet Bakery, Shanghai CHINA
This was a very interesting savory bun. It looked interesting to me so I decided to try it. The bun was covered in bonito flakes and green onion powder. It tasted very smoky from the dried fish flakes, and I enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s an item that I will suddenly craved, but I’m glad I tried it.

Omg, these Shanghai soup dumpling were amazing! When is Shanghai eat some XLB, right?!?! The pork filling was delicious and the broth was tasty. The dumpling casing had a nice thin thickness, but wasn’t too fragile so it still withstood my clumsy chopstick skills. Noms!
The restaurant is tiny!

I loved this dish! The thin layers of bean curd were super fun to eat and they seemed to pull apart and have a similar texture of meat. Noms!
#1 combo ¥38
KFC, Hangzhou CHINA
These were served lukewarm so they really weren’t appetizing. The slightly sweet glaze tasted ok, but it had a slimy texture that was off-putting.
With beef and tendons. ¥43
Yolota, Shanghai CHINA
I didn’t like this very much. The broth was SUPER salty and the beef was tough and dry. I did like all the enoki mushrooms though!
Potatoes in spicy sauce. ¥50
El Willy, Shanghai CHINA
I like aioli, but this amount was a bit overboard! You had to wade through that pile of aioli to actually get to the potatoes underneath (it kinda grossed me out). The potatoes were great though as was the aioli. I just wish there was less of it.

Tai Cook, Shanghai CHINA
This was gross. It had a thick, gelatinous texture that wasn’t appealing. The menu also said it was “hot”, but this wasn’t spicy at all. Lame.

Guyi Hunan, Shanghai CHINA
These ribs were super flavorful, but a bit dry and tough. You really had to scrape off the excessive amount of cumin seeds to get at the ribs, but the seeds were actually kinda fun to eat. Overall, this dish was a miss because the protein wasn’t cooked very well.

Louwailou, Hangzhou CHINA
This was amazing and just as good if not better than any pork belly that you’ll find in any fancy, expensive restaurant. The pork was tender, juicy and the sauce was rich and bold. Noms!

KFC, Hangzhou CHINA
This sandwich was weird. The chicken had an odd squishy texture and the bbq sandwich tasted weird on a wheat roll. It definitely tasted more American than Chinese, but it was just off…

I liked that they had miso soup available for breakfast. I can eat anything in the morning and don’t confine myself to traditional American breakfast fare. I love miso soup so it was a nice treat in the morning.
Miso soup.
Baby sardines, escalivada lemon, charred garlic sprouts and crispy bread. ¥95
El Willy, Shanghai CHINA
Mmm, these were super tasty. The little sardines tasted great with the smoky bell peppers and charred garlic sprouts while the crispy bread added the needed crunch.
