I had some Indian Clients flying in to Shanghai for the music convention of which one is a vegetarian. We moved

to a supposedly closer hotel to the convention than my normal hotel. Also my hotel had gone up in price. Now I’m in a

new area of Shanghai. I don’t know the streets the restaurants or anything. The hotel is a left over from the times of Mao

and not very typical of today’s Shanghai. I was starting to panic thinking how am I going to find things vegetarian for this

young man. I walked through the restaurant that is associated with the hotel and it would not do. Then I walked down the

street and saw very expensive sea food restaurants where you pick out your own fish. I tried a tang bao, soup filled dumpling,

restaurant that was rather large. Not only was it not good they gave my dish to someone else. I ate at the hotel restaurant

for breakfast and immediately got sick. After I more or less recovered, I walked around the neighbor hood and saw a little

restaurant with six little tables. They had a window display of some dishes and everyone was eating shui jiao, boiled dumplings

and soup. I went in and ordered a plate of shui jiao and explained my situation. The people were very nice. The shui jiao were

exquisite made right in front of me. I returned with my guests and we were treated to a great meal. We ordered three plates of

vegetables like mu er, a type of black mushroom very popular in China, green beans sautéed in garlic and bean sprouts in

sesame oil. Then we ordered on plate of shui jiao with egg and greens and one with beef and greens. The meal was like the

most delicate high class meal one could make. We had two bottles of beer and the total price came to 10 US dollars for the

three of us. There are still bargains to be had in Shanghai.
