Do You Eat Street Food?

without comments

Usually we can see peddlers selling different food on the street.  I still remember one of my manager said that he may buy baked sweet potato, but never eat it on the street because he don’t want his acquaintance seeing that. He concerned about his public impression. Except the public appearance, will you buy and eat street food?

I can see people laughing, talking and eating before the tables of the street food everyday. I have to say that those food tastes really delicious and I like this kind of life style.

Zhangjiang Street Food

For me, I don’t say no to the street food and ever have them as breakfast and supper, but I eat street food less and less in recent years. What I worry about is the healthy problem. I don’t know whether the raw material itself is safe. I don’t know whether the food is cooking under a safe condition. I also worry about the sanitary condition which is really a problem on the street.

We two had a dinner with other three friends at Mogoo Cafe restaurant, which is located in Xuhui District and near the Music Academy of Shanghai.

We were attracted by an advertisement about the super extreme dinosaur hamburg in a website and booked it with a big discount.

Super Extreme Dinosaurs Hamburg is weighing about 2.5 kg!The smoked chicken, tuna, beef pie, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, eggs, cheese, pickles, bread and onions, stack between the Joe Buck.

Mogoo cafe’s charm is that it not only gives you a beautiful and delicious food, but also it treasures the good feelings that you want to go back.  - If you can treasure pot of this plant, a cup, you will treasure throughout life – including get rid of such a super-hamburger.

Here, everything is subtle and just right, and timely and to take care with your little mind, little flavor.

Red sofa, red carpet, red tiles,quiet, comfortable and delicious food, this restaurant deserves a visit.
