Today, I ordered some groceries for home delivery as I’m still not walking too well.

To my surprise, the bag with frozens was very inflated and I straight away noticed the type of ice packs that were inside.

Oh, the things to amuse yourself when you’re house bound.

At one place I don’t mind eating at in SOHO is called ‘Jaspers’

I’ve noticed they have pav on the menu but was always too full to try it.

In my last visit, we kept enough room and it was worth it. Not as good as back home, but a very close impersonation!

So, in quest for the best Xiao Long Bao in Shanghai andv waiting in line for one hour, my quest failed.

The store had run out of plain pork, selling only mix-crab or all crab ones.

I went across the street to a store famous for fryied Dumplings. They were full of soup similar to the xiao long bao.

They were great! RMB5 for 4 Dumplings. I’m sure 4 would be enough for the average shanghaiese, but I ordered 8.

One of the famous places in Xi’an is the ‘snack street’.

This is a mostly Muslim area, with all the food in the uighur style, from western china.

The food was all delicious, spending about RMB30 – ate like pigs!

Photos are as follows:

Meat Skewers – delicious! Amazingly delicious!
