It seems like it’s been a long time since I posted food photos~~~~ Posting two spots at once….
There’s a magical place in Pudong Jinqiao called Biyun Community. About 50,000 foreigners live here, making it the largest expatriate community in Shanghai, especially for Europeans and Americans.
Here you can find restaurants with cuisines from around the world, churches, schools and kindergartens fully meeting American standards, as well as high-quality medical institutions.
For many multi-national companies open their factories or R&D center in Jinqiao. There are many foreign area manager or employees working there. The Biyun district was designed to provide a comfortable living area for them. Large potation of the houses were bought or rented by foreigners. There are restaurants of worldwide cuisines, churches, American standard schools and kindergartens, and High-end medical institutions.
There are quite a few upscale residential complexes inside.

Finding a book to read… A beautiful weekend afternoon
Let’s take another look at the ambiance
Dinner at the nearby Las Tapas, Spanish cuisine. Its Chinese name is Letai; not sure how they ended up with a Chinese name that sounds like a Thai restaurant..
Dinner @ Las Tapas
Pollo al Ajillo (Garlic Chicken Cubes), pretty well done.
Paella Valenciana. This 168 RMB dish completely failed to meet the standard of a signature dish. It wasn’t cooked long enough, the rice was still a bit undercooked, the flavors hadn’t soaked in, and the ingredients weren’t very authentic. There was too little chicken, and the high heat made it tough. It was far inferior to what I had last time at the tasting event organized by the Valencia Overseas Exchange Center.
Churros con Chocolate (Traditional Spanish Churros), a bit over-fried.
Sex on the Beach, all drinks are 25 RMB each during Happy Hour
Mojito
Empty glass outside the window
Finally, a few more photos of the Biyun surroundings
