Do you have suggestions on where to eat?
Thankyou again all!
Mr Zhu thinks given the Ramada's proximty to the work site he would stay there.
Mr zhu thinks that :-: gbjd1205:-: named some great places. Mr zhu thinks that gbjd1205 meant [not] far from lao jin jiang.
For dining Mr Zhu adores:
Summer Garden (ritz) for its simple dependale fare (try the double boiled fish maw soup);
Sichuan Court (Hilton) for great Sichuan food in shanghai that does not take the burn you aproach of most places -- esp. great when they rotate in the hilton chefs from chengdu and chongning) also great views;
hai yi (gubei) for the best seafood in Shanghai;
nan xiang xiao long bao (old city) for xiao long bao;
cocochina for french-viet fusion;
crystal jade for light dimsum;
zen for cantonese;
ye shanghai at lao jin jiang for solid shanghainese;
xin ji shi for solid shanghai food;
xiao nan guo for...uh....er...xiao nan guo;
cun for homestyle "aunty" style shanghai cooking;
the ritz for japanese;
the sheraton tai ping yang for japnese;
the shangrila for japanese (also great views);
various street sellers for tasty treats (Mr Zhu thinks the toxic lard helped here...);
and most of all Mr Zhu adores KFC for spicy chicken sandwich.
edit: Mr Zhu apologizes if your client/coworkers in china get any crazy ideas about you because you asked about lao jin jiang -- it would be an unusal choice for most people; its more old china. Avoid NEW jin jiang tower at all costs. Also interesting is Moller Villa but Mr Zhu has heard that is under "renovation". Mr Zhu never knew that accountants from Beijing were so talented at renovating hotels....
