Victoria // TheTravelingTeacher Curry & pho for a summer evening
If you want to try an authentic Vietnamese restaurant (as they claim) in Shanghai, Saigon Mama is a delicious option you should try. Ambience is charming, staff is nice and seem to be happy in their work.
My order was a chicken yellow curry 🍛. Very tasty and right amount of spicy (be sure you tell the cook how much/little spice you can manage). Bowls are huge, yet my plate looked a bit empty (or maybe I just wanted more). Pho 🍜 dishes are the most popular among the other clients, and delivery orders.
A detail the surprised me, was the coconut 🥥 over my rice. Give the meal a nice taste with the curry, not sure if this is just presentation or it’s common in Vietnamese food. In general, My experience here was quite nice.

Columbia O: Spain taste
We went exploring a new area of Shanghai we heard so much about: Columbia Circle. This is a heritage building complex located in Yan’an area. Near the pool area, you can find several cafés, restaurants and beautiful spots to get pictures.
Pirata 🏴☠️ is a Mediterranean style restaurant where, if you are lucky to grab a spot, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or a beer in romantic dinner by the pool. Food is very good, although the tostadas/toast are expensive for small serve. Ambience is nice, music is mostly Spanish (trova).
If you want to eat paella or any cazuela 🥘 dish, you need to wait 45 minutes while it gets done. Therefore, this is not a place to visit if you are hungry. Iberian ham is delicious. Beer 🍺 it’s a bit bitter than you may expect in China. My recommendation is to try the paella with red wine 🍷.
