Ci Fan Tuan!

Fat Yu always write about Shanghai food, but never write about breakfast!  Why not breakfast?!  Is most important meal of the whole day!

Fat Yu walk to work and have many places to eat breakfast!  Jianbing, scallion pancake, mantou, western bakery - have many option!  But when Fat Yu very hungry, he must have cifantuan!  Is most filling option!  And is cheap too!  Just 4 RMB!

Fat Yu favorite fantuandian is on corner of Xikang Lu and Nanyang Lu!  Always long line!  That when you know is good!  And lady is very nice!

Fat Yu always get same thing!  Crispy you tiao, salty bean sauce, meat floss and tea-cooked egg!  If not broken, why you bother fix it?!

She packs it all in rice with red bean and put in bag!  Look like this!

After I take bite, look like this!  Very delicious!

And very filling!  Eat just one, not hungry until lunch!

But, of course, lunchtime and I am hungry again!

I Am Fat Yu!

Beijing Style Hot Pot!

Aiya!  Gets very cold in Shanghai!  Everything always wet!  Very chilly!

Nothing better to warm up than hot pot!  And Fat Yu must admit, best hot pot come from Beijing!  Fat Yu very like this place!  And is very close to Fat Yu's home!

Beautiful ceramic hot pot!  And inside has delicious lamb soup!  We buy slices of lamb and cook in soup!

But best part of restaurant is sesame sauce!  Have fresh green onion, coriander!  Salted garlic, chili oil!  Mix all together, very delicious!

Not only have lamb!  Have mushrooms, fish cake, green vegetable!  Taste is very good!

Hot pot make the whole room warm!  And cooking food in hot soup make food very hot!  Good for winter!  Beijing people still not better than Shanghai people!

I Am Fat Yu!
