Best Places to Eat in Beijing and Shanghai

This will be our first time in Beijing and Shanghai. One of the best things about traveling is all the different foods you get to try. There is Chinese food in the US, but it's not nearly as good as the food in China! Plus there are lots of things you can't get in the US.

Now we are wondering about what people who actually live in Shanghai and Beijing think are the best places to eat? 

If you can leave a message below that would be great.

 Must go places for eating: I guess the only thing I would recommend is the Xiaolong Bao in Yu Garden ... uh ... it's a little bit cliché ... but it is still the signature dish of Shanghai ... apart from that, you can find every kind of dishes of regional flavor there ... god bless you.

Hi! It was really nice meeting you today at the bar! Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Shanghai so far ... and you can try Shanghainese cuisine some time ... or maybe some snacks at the City God's Temple (Chenghuang Miao in Chinese). They're really one of a kind.

Funny, Isn't It?

Tuesday morning, I over-slept, while all the bosses were coming. Fortunately I was not coming late, just having no time to da bao my lunch.

Me: Qiu Jun, I did not "da bao" today. If you go out for lunch, remember to bring me together.

Qiu Jun: Ok, A Weng. I'll go out for lunch later on.

               (Few minutes just before the lunch hour.)

Qiu Jun: A Weng, let's go for lunch now.

Uncle Zhou: Today we bring A Weng to the sea.

Me: Sea? (Sure? Qiu Jun and me don't know how to swim!)

Qiu Jun: Good idea.

 Me: Oh ... (These 2 bosses must have something secret in their plan.)

Few minutes after sitting inside Qiu Jun's car, huh, we are really reaching the sea.

Oh, actually they target on the Sunrise Seafood Restaurant, which is just located besides our company, but we need to turn a big round only to reach there.

Hmm, this restaurant is quite good, "floating" on top of the sea. An unlimited sea-view.

Uncle Zhou treats us to lunch there. Wow, we finish almost all the ordered food. I feel surprised that I do not recommend food over here. Hehe, I cannot tell my mother, or else she will call me immediately with blar blar blar.

Mum, don't worry, I did not eat any meat, see, my plate is empty.
