OODLES OF NOODLES!

Fried noodles. You can find them on any street corner after 10pm. 5RMB

Xiao long bao. The best. This one's located at XinZha Lu, across from the XinZhao Metro, exit 1.

McDonald's Delivery

Did you know that McDonald's delivers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week here? I never eat McDonald's back home, but over here they have chicken wings. This is us at 2:30am on a Monday night. Not only does McDonald's deliver, KFC and Burger King do as well. If they delivered in the States.... do you know how many MORE people would be obese?

Bullfrog HotPot

Looks spicier than it really is.

This restaurant is supposed to be well known for its bullfrog hotpot. It's different than most, and the bullfrogs are ... fried? Rather than steamed. The restaurant is located beside the Gucci Store on MaoMing Lu/Changle Lu. A meal for 4 cost about 150-200RMB.

Squid

Dandelion tea and red raisin-a-likes. 10RMB for a bag of dandelions, 5 rmb for a bag of red raisin things, 5 rmb for sugar cubes. You can find it in just about any tea shop off the street.


Grilled squid... for about $1.75 USD. Anyone? Salzeriya, the best ghetto Italian restaurant in China. You can get a whole pizza and a bowl of pasta for about $4 USD.

Eat Up

Ginger Chicken: Buo Do Cantonese Restaurant. Wulumuqi Lu x AnFu Lu. 25RMB, comes with soup and tea.


Xiao long bao and some sort of duck organ noodle soup w/ duck blood. Near Rujin II Lu.


Suzhou's specialty: dried tofu. Bought 4 boxes for 12RMB at the train station.

Cooking at Home, Away from Home

I don't have a clue how to cook Chinese food. Plus I'm living in Shanghai so it'd probably be better if I just stepped outside my door and let them do their thing. But when I'm hungry as fuck at home, I trust the good ole tuna sandwich and chicken breast to satisfy my hunger. fuck snickers.


yeahhhhh boi! ain't nothin like chicken and potatoes after wildin out w/ MSG for the past year. to be honest, i probably make this meal 3-4 times a week.... i'm not into eating out everyday, especially after the amount of times i've had food poisoning here.


I can make the best tuna salad sandwich. seriously. try this recipe next time:

red onions (chopped)
celery (chopped)
gold raisins & dried cranberries (chopped)
salt & pepper
spicy/dijon mustard
mayo

whip that shit up, put some cheese on it, you are set. if you're in the states, buy only Cento tuna, nothing else compares for the price.
