Guang Ming Cun

Homemade Wontons

IMG_0740

I rarely get the chance to experience the same restaurants that my parents visit when they were kids, but Guang Ming Cun is a wonderful exception. Nestled on the busy Huai Hai Middle Road, it is one of the few restaurants that has endured throughout the times. Breakfast is an epic treat. For under $2USD, you're able to buy a massive steaming bowl of freshly-pulled, perfectly al dente noodles in a savory broth topped with caramelized green onions, generous slabs of marbled pork, and sprouts. There's also an extensive menu of favorite Shanghai treats such as wonton soup, chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings, and stinky tofu. With the reasonable prices and quick service, it's no wonder that they've been open for over half a century.

Shanghai

Vegetarian Bao Yu

Apologies for the lack of updates! I'm wrapping up a lengthy vacation in Shanghai and should be back soon with a massive post on the highlights of my eating adventures there. Stay tuned for more! (Photo above is vegetarian abalone... a bit strange in texture and flavor, but quite tasty!)
