Bo Duo Xin Ji Restaurant

Had dinner at this delicious restaurant near the intersection of Xiangyang road and Fuxing road. Walking here at night wasn’t a pleasant first experience because it’s located in the middle of a pitch black alley, and you always hear China horror stories of being robbed or knifed for your organs and all. Well I do at least. Recalling these stories I found myself placed in the perfect scenario and I wanted out. My solution to feel at ease in a situation like this was to blend in. So how do you do that? Play the stereotypes.

In this case start loogie hacking, pop a cigarette in your mouth, squat from time to time, and talk loud in mandarin (this would actually work against me with my garbage speaking skills). Making due with what I could pull off, I made it to the restaurant safely.

Anyhow, food here was great and the restaurant has gotten quite popular within recent years so don’t let my initial uneasiness scare you.
