EATING CHEAP IN SHANGHAI

Now that the weather is changing and Shanghai is not a sauna, I am finally craving warm food.  The location of my apartment is very local and I have a mass amount of great street food joints. I think I finally found my favorite neighborhood place. It normally cost me 11 RMB, which is under $1.75.

First you get to select all the veggies, meat, noodles, etc on your own.  You can get anything from duck blood to sausage.

My personal favorite combination is, cilantro, greens, lotus, mushrooms, ramen noodles, quail eggs, and sprouts.

Once you pick out your goods, you give your soup to this guy.

He then cooks everything in a giant hot pot full of broth.  

Then I get a fabulous soup that fills me up for lunch and dinner!
