If you come to Shanghai (3)

The third thing I want to talk about is food.

There's a famous snack in Shanghai called fried dumplings. I know many foreigners are fond of Yang's Fry-dumpling, like a friend here. This brand has a lot of restaurants in Shanghai, and their food is not bad indeed. But if you can't find one of their restaurants, don't worry, you can follow the locals at mealtime. In my experience, any fried dumplings restaurants or stands with many locals are good enough to try.

In the meanwhile, Shanghai's food culture is very diverse. If you have any dietary preferences, all you need to do is ask people-- you can ask the taxi drivers, passers-by, or people who work nearby. Usually, I can get a nice restaurant after four asking in a strange city in China.

If you're a vegetarian, I highly recommend restaurants around the Jing'an Temple and the Longhua Temple. They are originally meant for Buddhists but are also open to the public. You can also have vegetarian dishes in most restaurants by asking the owner to make vegetables for you. Maybe this sentence will help you: 我要素油做蔬菜wǒ yào sù yóu zuò shū cài, which means “I want vegetables with vegetable oil”.

That's all.

Welcome to Shanghai and have a nice trip.


我想说的第三件事是食物。

上海有一种很有名的小吃叫生煎包。我知道很多外国人都喜欢吃小杨生煎,就像这里的一个朋友一样。这个牌子在上海有很多餐厅,他们的菜确实不错。但如果你找不到他们的餐馆,也不用担心,你可以在吃饭的时候跟着当地人走。根据我的经验,任何一家有很多当地人的生煎店或小摊都足够好吃。

同时,上海的饮食文化也非常多元。如果你有饮食偏好,问人就可以了——你可以问出租车司机、路人或在附近工作的人。通常,在中国一个陌生的城市,我问四次就能找到一家不错的餐馆。

如果你是素食主义者,我强烈推荐静安寺和龙华寺附近的餐馆。它们最初是为佛教徒准备的,但也向公众开放。在大多数餐馆里,你也可以要求老板为你做蔬菜来吃素菜。也许这句话会对你有所帮助:我要素油做蔬菜wǒ yào sù yóu zuò shū cài ,意思是“我要植物油做的蔬菜”。

以上。

欢迎来上海,祝旅途愉快。

Is "Yang's Fry-dumpling" the official name? Otherwise, it seems that there's a grammar mistake, should be "Yang's Fried Dumplings"

Thank you so much! I learned a lot from your corrections and feedback.

About 小杨生煎's English name, I found several versions of it, so maybe it has no official name. I will use your version next time:)
