Delectable Finds

i must admit that i waste far too much time on the inter-web. but every once in a while - between all the facebooking and email-checking - i'll actually come across something unique and worthwhile. i'm not talking about the usual hype surrounding a newly-opened shanghai dance club or a restaurant named after a world-renowned chef. for those of you who know me, you should be well aware of my love for good and cheap street food. and where better to get it in shanghai than the famous wujiang lu. that i already knew... what i just found out less than 5 min ago was that this little street holds a variety of food events on a somewhat regular basis. just thought i'd share this new-found knowledge with all you other foodies out there. here's an excerpt from a cityweekend blog:

Confirmed events:

4/10 - 4/12 Egypt Culture Week 埃及文化周 The festival supposedly will provide visitors with a sampling of Egyptian cuisine.
