Food Tips

There are tips for eating in Shanghai. For example, when choosing a restaurant, you should look at the size. If it is too big, the kitchen will not be able to take care of the guests; if it is too small, it will be difficult for the kitchen to prepare ingredients. Not even. It also depends on the customer flow. Fresh food is very important. It is difficult to keep the dishes fresh when there are few people. Therefore, it is best to choose a medium-sized restaurant, about 500 square meters.

The first criterion for choosing a restaurant is its hygiene, even its kitchen and bathroom. Hygiene has a lot to do with it, or at least the freshness of the food. There are many things that cannot be stored overnight, such as fish, which are different in one day. It also depends on the service attitude. Many dishes need to be served to guests immediately, and it will be different if they are a little slow. You can’t go into a restaurant without being afraid of being expensive, and you can’t just be afraid of being expensive. The dishes you order should be more refined and smaller, which doesn’t necessarily mean they are expensive. Shanghainese people generally don’t order for a big table, because that way they won’t be able to taste it. Even for a dinner, usually 8 people The food is enough.

When eating Western food, you should pay attention to the rhythm. After each person has a mouthful of food or a glass of wine in front of him, he should take a sip of pure water to cleanse his mouth, so that he can taste the true taste of the food. Chinese food should be like this too, preferably with a dish served every 10-15 minutes. When in Shanghai, it’s better to eat Shanghainese food. It’s better not to go into restaurants that advertise vegetable prices. Big yellow snake is 28 yuan per catty and grass shrimp is 28 yuan per catty. Don’t be superstitious.

It is recommended that you have breakfast at the hotel where you are staying. Many hotels provide free buffet breakfast. We usually eat near tourist attractions at noon. When ordering, try not to order dishes with "current prices" on them. Ask about the unit of measurement. Some restaurants play tricks on "liang" and "only" to cut off customers. Dinner does not necessarily have to be eaten in a hotel, as the cost is high. There are many food courts in the main business districts in downtown Shanghai, which are cheap and good-quality, and the services are good. Generally, the consumption per person is between 15-25 yuan.
