Navigating the Food Scene Like a Pro
Finding the best eats is half the fun! Here's how I make it happen:
Rednote for Real Reviews
I kick things off by using Rednote to find restaurants. It's similar to Facebook. Real people share their experiences there. I focus on posts that seem genuine. I check out the comments and related tags to see what others are saying. Even if some posts are ads, if the food is good, I'm in!
AMAP: Your Shanghai Navigation Hero
While Google Maps is useful, AMAP is a game-changer in China, especially in Shanghai! It's perfect for finding the quickest metro routes. It also helps avoid taxi fares and gives you money for another dish! It shows 3D maps for most shopping malls, which is brilliant. It helps you find shops inside malls quickly.
LaiTrip: Your Food Translation Sidekick
My Chinese skills are limited. That's where translation apps come in handy. LaiTrip is my go-to. It scans menus, translates them, and shows pictures, ingredients, and flavor descriptions. It also tells you about any potential allergy information. With my serious food allergies, this feature is a life-saver. I hear that the restaurants on LaiTrip's map are favorite places. It can even identify food from photos when I can't read the menu!
