Overview

A bit tired of crowded attractions and curious why so many restaurants and where to find authentic local food, like local breakfast and lunch sets?

Come explore the most Yummy neighborhood in central Shanghai with me — Summerhaha, your slightly obsessed (with food) local expert.

And this is not a typical tour, it's all about real food, real neighborhoods, and real Shanghai life, let's enjoy this crazy Brunch time and find the answer for those quiz.

Part 1. Eat like a local, what&where locals actually eat every day.
- China: a meat lover’s country or a vegetarian paradise?
- Can a 2 RMB ice cream really beat gelato?
- Handmade dumplings from a neighborhood auntie
- Regional Chinese pancakes you’ve probably never seen before
- Chinese desserts… surprisingly not always sweet
- And why Shanghai has 10,000+ coffee shops?

Part 2. See the city beyond the surface, where most visitors never notice.
- A real local supermarket, how many things can you actually recognize?
- A fancy Apple store next to a golden Buddhist temple, which is more popular?
- A community center with a library, gym… and it's FREE?!
