English bookstore in Shanghai

Myself and my partner cycled by this bookstore by accident searching for a cafe for lunch. We just had to go inside as the title of the store was in English and all the books they had were written in English which was the first we’d come across in China! The owners, Sissy and her friend, we’re absolutely lovely and spoke a small amount of English. They even owned a fat ginger cat called ‘Shakespeare’ which we found amusing. The books were pricy and cost us 250¥ for two books (one which I enjoyed was a book of local Chinese swear words and sayings, which is apparently a popular buy). If you’re in the area, we’d definitely recommend a read of some classics! They even serve drinks at a discounted price if you purchase a book.

Speaking of 中餐 (Chinese cuisine), the most favorite I would recommend is 小笼包 (soup dumplings). As the name goes, the best thing about this dish is the soup that's inside the 包 😁 It is sort of a takeaway food, that you can just buy and carry around to eat whenever you like it. Mainly it got popular to me through the Zhejiang restaurant called 外婆家 (Grandma's kitchen). It is truly a Grandma recipe with immense taste. If you are not good in handling chopsticks, just don't stuck it with and waste the precious soup; instead just don't mind to use your hands. Another must try dish of 外婆家 is the beggar chicken. It's also cooked in the same way, with the amenities that a beggar could possibly have. A whole chicken is wrapped up in an aluminum foil and buried inside the mud, which then will be heated to end up with an extraordinary chicken you can ever have. 外婆家 has many branches in Shanghai & Hangzhou, my frequent visit is in the IAPM mall which is quite easy to find in the B1 floor. Have a taste of it people ! #tripfoodie #tripfoodieshanghai #chinesecuisine #deliciousfood #urbanexplorer#lightthecity#tripfoodie
