Sorry for the food hang-up, but...well, this is Paddy, and if you didn't know I have a thing for eating (one of the deeper connections between Wop and me). So apparently here in Shanghai
we're in the season of 'baby lobsters,' or crayfish, one of the most sought after dishes in Shanghai (besides Paddy that is). So after
the Muslim hand-grabbing I thought i'd take the advice of the placard (Chinese are WAY into slogans) and GRASP THE CRAYFISH.
The back gate of the university comes to life after 6pm on a Friday night, completely transformed into a kinda of semi-precious county fair atmosphere. Bicycles with coal grills on the back open shop with BBQ corn on the cob, squid, chicken, beef...AND STEAMED BABY
LOBSTER of course. This is quite the scene.
And the result... Pao Pepper Crayfish. I'm sure I should have read something about hepatitis A and B, but...what the fuck, it's Baby Lobster season.

How much are you paying there for a full meal? Sasha and I just had an incredible 5 dishes of the best food in Saigon (actually, this restaurant is really just a collection of the best street vendors in the city) for an astonishing 15 dollars (drinks included).
yeah, about the hepatitus (sp?) - we're right there with you. We had a bajillion blood cockles with our dinner.
What's the answer, by the way, to your question?
