Food in Shanghai - A Delicious Experience ...

'Chinese Food' is well known in the world. I was lucky-enuf to taste the Chinese food in China.

Most of Chinese food includes wide range of Vegetables. No much oil is used in most of the items. The Non veg items wont contain salt & Masala(very few salty chicken items were available) . So, the taste differs. It takes time to adjust to the taste, especially for a typical south Indian ( like me) who prefers more masala & chillie.

There are few INTERESTING kind of restaurants in China. Those are called 'Houghfou'...means 'Fire Pot'. Here, we need to cook by ourselves and eat. This is entirely a different experience (eventhough we have a few of this kind in India..).

They provide us a Pot with Water,Chillie and different kinds of flavours and Fire under it. They also give a plate-ful of Lamb's Meat which is sliced into very thin pieces like chips. We can cook the meat there itself and eat.



Sliced Meat



The meat can be cooked & within a few seconds (as it is sliced so thin..), and extremely delicious as it is cooked in the Pot with chillie and other flavours. A Delicious Experience ...

Dosa & Parota are surprisingly present in China. Chinese ppl know these dishes already. Not sure whether they learned from India or vise versa..

Pork is one of the favourites for Chinese ppl. Most of the dishes include pork. They sprinkle small pork pieces on egg fried rice also. So, pure vegetarians must be careful always, to make sure that there is no pork in the food in any form.

Chinese ppl can eat rice using 'Chopsticks' . We cant eat even egg, with them.
