Preserve the Noodle Man

Hongkou

Small shops and cookshops in front of Rainbow City 2. The urban planners want to see more modern compounds here. When will they start building? And what will happen to our beloved noodle man?

Dirty glasses and a foil on top of the tablecloth.

City Gold Temple

The tourist guide showed a great image of an empty bridge to Yuyuan Garden. What we found was an overcrowded City God Temple.

“Temple”, an interesting expression. I’d rather call it shopping mall or tourist center. Not the kind of thing I need. I don’t like it when everyone tries to sell me something. I prefer having a look and then talking to someone if I need help. No “here T-Shirt” or “very nice”. And – same thing in the supermarkets – everyone’s always pointing at some random thing as if it was the newest, greatest, best.

Half a Pizza

The restaurant pretended to be Italian but seemed to have mixed up several countries. The music was as french as the pictures on the wall and the pizza seemed American.

Magaroni

Rainy day outside.

Banana shake

Very good banana shake.

Pizza

Eating half of the pizza took me 45 minutes. I could have eaten more but stopped due to the ongoing pain in my jaw.

Pizza to go

The restaurant was a bit more expensive and the take-away box looks alike.

No Chicken After Ten (Not That I'd Eat It)

KFC closes at 10 pm. Very strange.

Proste

Stammtisch

A really nice event. I think we’ll go there again next week. All the Chinese spoke German and they even mixed Spezi, ice chocolate and Apfelschorle for us.

Banana Pie

I wanted to take a picture of the McDonalds menu but the lady tore it away quickly. No idea why. Particularly because she handed it back to let us order. And then they gave us the take-away menu. I could have taken a picture of that…

At least I could try the Banana Pie that’s advertised all over the city:

I don’t have to have it again. Too sweet filling and a strange sour crust.

More Food

This was never intended to become a food blog and I promise to stop. But finding something to eat isn’t that easy and the things you get may not be what you expect them to be. So, another restaurant that seemed a little bit more exalted than the ones before:

Press a button to order, get the bill, …

I think that’s where the information is displayed.

Free tea that didn’t taste of chlorine and had a lemongrass aftertaste.

Real fruit tea.

Dumplings

Vegetarian spaghetti. But I think the soup was not.

Back to the Food

Shinla Levain

Didn’t I say this wasn’t the last time I’ve been there…

Pizza with two forks

The pizza was so gigantic that I took half of it home and ate it at school.
