The ULTIMATE Chinese FOOD & CRAFT BEER Tour in French Concession | Shanghai, China
In April of 2019, I had the amazing fortune of getting hired by a fantastic company in China for a one-day job. I extended my trip to twelve days so I could properly explore Shanghai, a city I first visited in 2015 with my father. I also added days in the cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou so I could experience places that were completely new to me. I can’t wait to share this epic series with you!

My second full day in China continued with a mind-blowing Chinese food and craft beer tour in the French Concession, an area I had explored earlier that morning. I linked up with my boy Topher from UnTour Food Tours, who would be taking me around to his favorite spots in the area. I’d never had Chinese craft beer, so I was super excited!
UnTour Food Tours do amazing tours in Shanghai and Beijing, and also work with other companies in Chengdu and Hong Kong, so check them out if you’re ever in China!
We headed out to explore the middle part of Shanghai. This area contains lots of glitzy boutiques. Everything there looked brand new and luxurious and there were lots of skyscrapers.
We started at Liquid Laundry, a super nice and modern gastropub and nanobrewery that offers 15 beers. I started with a Cezanne farmhouse ale, which was smooth and silky with a hint of coconut. The head had a nice, creamy flavor!
Then we tried some from the barrels. They have a 3-barrel system and 8 fermenting tanks. We tried a Haze IPA, which was light, cloudy, and creamy with a nice head. The next one was tangy. Then we tried a flight of beers with an imperial stout, porter, cocoa porter, honey wine, an IPA, and a Cezanne.
The Cezanne was very light. The wheat pale ale had a hint of wheat, and the mango IPA had a nice mango flavor. The next one was like a sparkling water with a honey finish. The porter had notes of coconut and chocolate, and the imperial stout was perfect for the cold weather outside. There were notes of vanilla. It was my favorite one!
Then it was time to eat! We headed down a dark back alley, but Shanghai is a really safe city. We went for some dumplings. There were lots of different varieties to choose from, so I had Topher surprise me with our order.
We got some Suntory beer and boiled cabbage and pork dumplings. We made a dipping sauce out of rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, dried chili, and minced garlic. It was so good. The sauce was amazing! I loved the spice, but it sneaks up on you!
We headed back down the street with our beers—open containers are allowed in China. Next, we headed to The Camel, which was voted Shanghai’s best sports bar. Most of the beers here aren’t local craft beers; they’re imported. We only got 4 Chinese beers: a nice and hoppy American Wild Ale, a juicy hazy IPA, a malty pale ale, and a Maybach that tasted like a German beer. I loved the IPA!
Then we walked about 5 minutes to get some knife-cut beef noodles. They’re made with a dense, high-gluten dough. They only take 30 seconds to boil. We tried the most-consumed beer in the world, which was very watery. Then, we dug into the noodles!
The noodles were thick and had a great sauce. They were also al dente and super tasty. We added some spice to them. I loved the mix of the heat, sauce, cilantro, and noodles. I didn’t want them to end!
Our last stop was Daga Brew Pub, which focuses on Chinese craft beer. I liked it a lot. It was packed with people. We got five beers. I started with a jasmine tea lager, which was so different. I liked it! Then was a German wheat beer, a Sichuan IPA, a hoppy hazy IPA, and a brown ale.
What an amazing Chinese food and craft beer tour! If you enjoyed coming along with me on it, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food content!

The ULTIMATE Chinese FOOD & CRAFT BEER Tour in French Concession | Shanghai, China
US craft brewer trying to succeed in Shanghai, China
Stone Brewing, headquartered in Escondido, California, is one of the ten largest craft brewers in the U.S. This past summer, the 22-year-old company achieved a unique distinction: it became the first independent U.S. craft brewer to open a brewpub in China.
At the recent Great American Beer Festival in China, C.E.O. Dominic Engels spoke to CGTN’s Hendrik Sybrandy about Stone’s new bar in Shanghai.

ULTIMATE Shanghai STREET FOOD Breakfast Tour in French Concession | Shanghai, China
I love China. I first visited Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai back in 2015 with my father. I fell in love with the food, culture, and history then, so I jumped at the chance to go back in April of 2019. This time, I visited Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou for a deeper dive into this unique place. I can’t wait to share it all with you!
Follow UnTour Food Tours on Instagram:
On the morning of my second full day in Shanghai, I met back up with my boy Li from UnTour Food Tours. He took me on a mouthwatering street food breakfast tour! Come along with us as we explore more of Shanghai!
We started by watching people do tai chi in a park in the center of the former French Concession.
From there, we stopped at an old-school diner-like eatery with communal seating. We got 4 dishes, including soymilk; a sticky rice ball with shredded pork, duck egg, and vegetables; an oily Chinese churro; and a sweet Chinese flatbread.
I dipped my churro into the soymilk at first. It tasted like the churros in Spain, except without sugar. Then I tore up the rest and let it soak up the milk. It was fantastic!
Next was the dense sticky rice ball, which contained lots of spice, egg, and pickled vegetables. It was really filling!
I finished up with a bite of the crispy, biscuit-like flatbread. It was delicious, but I held off on the rest.
I watched them prepare and fry the churros outside. There were also fried empanada-like dumplings!
Next, we visited a hole-in-the-wall restaurant for a thick, savory, seven-layered pancake with a sweet, red chili sauce. It looked like a dish I’d had in Greece. I loved the crispiness on the outside and softness on the inside. The sauce was really rich and had some spice that snuck up on me!
Our next spot at least 20 varieties of sweet and savory buns for 2 Yuan/roughly $0.30 each. There was a long line, so we’d come back later.
Then, we grabbed my favorite Chinese breakfast food, jianbing. It’s a type of crepe that contains egg, vegetables, a cracker, and sweet and spicy sauces. It was packed with flavor and had a great balance between sweet and spicy! I loved the cilantro!
Next was shepherd’s purse and pork wontons. It contained a delicious soup and was topped with spring onions. It was so juicy and delicious!
Then I had a pot sticker containing soup and sesame oil. You take a nibble and suck the soup out because it’s so hot. The soup inside was so good! I added some chilies and waited for it to cool off. I loved it, especially the crispy bottom!
We also had two steamed buns: one with black sesame and one with egg custard. The black sesame almost tasted like chocolate while the egg custard was super sweet. I liked the egg custard more.
We were getting full, so we took a break from eating. Outside, I watched them prepare the pot stickers and grabbed some coffee. I got a cold brew with coconut water, which was so different and tropical. I loved the natural sweetness!
Then, we saw some lane houses, which are have black gates, huge frames, and courtyards. There were lots of different architectural styles in the area. They were beautiful!
Next, we passed through a popular wet market, an open supermarket where they sell lots of veggies, meat, poultry, and seafood. Then it was time for some hand-pulled noodles, which are always a spectacle!
Our next spot was a 24/7, family-run restaurant. The noodles were covered in a sticky sauce. I added some chili sauce, which was pungent but not too spicy. So good! They were some of the best noodles I’ve ever had!
Next was a tofu bamboo stir-fry with green pepper red onions. It consists of soymilk skin, which has a texture similar to bamboo. I loved the peppers!
Our final dish was xiaolongbao, or soup dumplings, at Loushi Dumpling Shop. They contain ginger. You dip them into black rice vinegar, nibble a corner, and suck out the soup so it doesn’t burn your tongue. They were amazing, but I was so full!
I hope you enjoyed this epic Shanghai street food tour of the French Concession! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel!

Shanghai Vlog: TianShan Tea City!
:: instagram.com/timandglo ::
April 26, 2014
It was another rainy Saturday, but fortunately Shanghai has no shortage of indoor activities. We ventured to TianShan Tea City and spent a delightful afternoon trying all sorts of Chinese tea. TianShan Tea City is located on ZhongShan West Road, near YuPing Road. The closest subway station is ZhongShan Park on lines 2, 3, and 4.
Afterward we went to the mall at the ZhongShan Park subway station for lunch. This is another huge multi-story mall with a two-level Carrefour and tons of Chinese and foreign brand shops.
At the end of the video we share which teas we bought and experiment with brewing tea using our embarrassingly makeshift tea brewing equipment.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

FRESH Chinese HOT POT FEAST at the Holy Cow - 10 Cuts and Sauces | Shanghai, China
After I visited the Chinese cities of Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an with my father in 2015, I knew I wanted to go back. I got the chance in April of 2019, when Renault hired me for a one-day job. I extended my trip to 12 days and spent 11 of them exploring the cities of Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. There, I experienced incredible food, wonderful people, beautiful temples and gardens, and mind-blowing history. I can’t wait to share it all with you in this China series!
After I arrived back in Shanghai via bullet train from Suzhou earlier on my fifth day in China, I headed over to The Holy Cow to have a delicious hot pot dinner. This place is famous for its fresh meat, pesticide-free vegetables, and flavorful and nutrient-rich broths. The broths range from plain to spicy and there are over 20 different sauces!
I met up with the owner of The Holy Cow, Anthony, who explained to me that they like to use the whole cow and the meat is never frozen. He told me they also use organ meats, which I love!
Then, I got to watch Anthony make his own signature sauce. Then I made my own with some chili paste, Holy Cow sauce, chilies, sesame peanut, and cilantro. It was very different from Anthony’s!
I started with a craft beer called Zero, which is half-wheat, half-lager, and locally-sourced. It was very light and had a different taste. It had a wheat kick and a light lager taste.
I was given a private room. Anthony ordered 14 different things for me, including meatballs, lots of vegetables, dumplings, different cuts of meat, and more. Anthony started by cooking the meat and serving me. Then I dipped the meat into my sauce, which was spicy and sweet. The meat had a different texture because it had never been frozen. It was amazing!
Then I tried some of the meat cooked in the spicy broth. It was a little spicy, but the flavor was out of control! Anthony’s sauce was the best!
Then I went with some beef dumplings, which were incredible. Next, some venison from New Zealand was brought to our table.
My next dish was cow shoulder. It was so tender and so amazing with Anthony’s sauce. I went back to my sauce for a second before I tried the meatball. It was beef, but tasted like lamb!
Then I was brought a liter of dark beer! I tried the free-range venison from New Zealand at first. It tasted more earthy because it’s higher in iron. There was also no fat on it, so it was super clean!
The beer was amazing, too. It had an almost cinnamon-like taste!
Next, it was time for the cow stomach, which was gelatinous and spongy. I tried it with a sauce with sesame seeds. Then I tried the golden needle mushrooms, which I also loved! The spicy stomach by itself was hot, so I calmed it down with Anthony’s sauce. It tasted like chewy bacon!
Next was another cut of venison, which was so fantastic. Then I tried a fattier piece of cow. I love fatty meat! Then we tried some blood, which cooked for a while. It looked like liver that had been cut into rectangles. It didn’t taste like liver, though!
Tofu skin was next, which was a huge piece I ate in one bite. It was fried, so it tasted different from regular tofu. Next was a chewy and dense fish ball and a xiaolongbao that’s cooked in the hot pot! It had a nice soup inside and was amazing with Anthony’s sauce! Everything was great with his sauce!
What an epic meal! The venison was unreal and I loved the xiaolongbao as well. You definitely should come to The Holy Cow at Bingo Mall when you come to Shanghai!
I hope you loved coming with me for this amazing hot pot feast in Shanghai! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Cheers to Pizza Port during Stone Brewing Tap Room - Shanghai's Grand Opening Celebration
Twenty-two years to the day after the first-ever keg of Stone beer was tapped, Stone Brewing Tap Room - Shanghai held its grand opening celebration.
As our doors opened for the first time in China, our co-founders took a moment to raise a glass (ok, a can) of Pizza Port beer as a tribute to the place where that first keg of Stone Pale Ale was tapped 22 years ago, Pizza Port in Solana Beach!
