[转]澳大利亚吃货游中国——上海（上）

We're superstitious about the first meal of the holiday: it sets the standard for the rest of the trip. We could have eaten at one of the dozen too-tidy looking primary coloured Japanese/Taiwanese/Hong Kong style chain joints as we left the subway. But we held out until we found this: northern style cumin lamb kebabs cooked on hot coals and served in fresh flat bread. This is the last thing we were expecting and the best thing to find as the temperature was dropping down towards freezing. We paid 15 yuan, less then $3 Aussie. This is going to be a good trip.
我们对于假期的第一餐是很迷信的：它给我们整个旅程的欢乐程度定调。我们可以在离开地铁之后在那一堆色彩鲜明的日本／台湾／香港主题连锁店里挑一家吃 ，但是我们坚持着直到我们发现了这个：北方风格的用煤烤的茴 香羊肉串，夹现做的饼。这根本不在我们的预期之中，但这却是这个几乎零度的天气之下最好的食物。我们付了15元，不到3澳元。这个旅程将会很愉快。



This setup is permanently affixed outside a Northern style halal restaurant. We guess it keeps the smoke out of the restaurant, saves space and catches extra takeway business.
这个摊位固定在一个北方风格清真餐馆外。我们猜这个装置排出餐馆的烟，省空间还可以提供一个额外的外卖服务。

We wander around a little more and find some street hawkers selling bbq skewers and noodles.
我们到处走了一下，发现了一些街边小摊卖烤串和面条。



This simple noodle stir fry was devine, made by a one-dish master. Our thick egg noodles were mixed with egg, bean sprouts, chili, green veggies and a bit of salt. We go back to our hostel to learn that Kim Jong Ill just died, Chinese TV said he was a real swell guy who expressed some interest in economic reforms.
这个简单的炒面是神级的，一个大厨烧出来的。我们厚鸡蛋面条加了鸡蛋，豆芽，辣椒，蔬菜和一点点盐。当我们回到青年旅馆时候，发现金日成死了，中国电视上说他是个胖胖的家伙曾经表达过进行经济改革的想法。



We awake to find we're staying in pleasant neighbourhood with relatively calm, tree-lined streets. We were near the French Concession, on the Ji'an Temple side.
我们发现我们在一个令人愉快的地方醒来，清净，路边覆盖着树的街道。我们在法租界，靠静安庙的那边。



For breakfast we judiciously pick the first place we find, and it's a beauty.
对于早饭，我们决定选我们能找到的第一家店。真的英明的决定。



We figure this is a real Shanghai style joint, the trays of ready-to-go dishes remind us of the Shanghai joints back in Ashfield in Sydney. The restaurant is squeaky clean and served by a cheery army of aunties and uncles. They weren't sure about us the first visit but on the second visit we were greeted like long lost relatives.
我们估计这是一家真正上海风格的餐馆，一盘盘的熟食让我们想起在悉尼艾士非的上海小店。这家店超级干净，一群开心的阿姨和叔叔们在这里工作。我们第一次来的时候他们对我们不是很熟悉，而当我们第二次走进来时，我们就像他们长期失散的亲戚一样的被欢迎了。



We want to transport ourselves back and dive into the bainmarie of love. Lonely Planet tells you never to eat pre-prepared food, which would mean missing out on the best stuff. The trick is to find it fresh, that's usually when it's crowded with locals.
我们想穿越回那家店并浸泡在充满食物之爱的温泉之中。《孤独星球》告诉我们说千万不要尝试事先烧好的食物，这意味着我们就会错过这个好地方了。诀窍是要找到新鲜的餐馆，而这通常意味着当地人拍长龙的地方



If any germs make it through the hygienically sealed chopsticks the fiery chili paste should kill them.
即使是有病菌残留在这些密封的一次性筷子里，这超辣的辣椒酱也会杀死它们的。



There's no finer breakfast than noodle soup, especially when there's a pork chop involved. The broth is dark and sweet. The noodles are perfect. The tops old auntie sitting next to Alison burps all cute and lady-like. If Brad and Angelina can adopt overseas kids can we adopt overseas old ladies?
没有比汤面更好的早餐了，特别是当里面还有一块猪排的时候。这个汤是深的，带点甜味。面条简直绝了。那个坐在 Alison旁边的阿姨，很女孩子样的打嗝，好可爱。如果Brad和Angelina可以领养外国小孩，我们可以领养这个阿姨吗？



As we eat a production line appears out of nowhere behind us.
在我们吃的时候一条生产线悄无声息的在我们背后出现了。

A hundred or so lunchboxes are being made up. We see folks eating these everywhere.
在制作上百个饭盒。我们看到到处都有人吃这样的盒饭。



Much the same selections only add an egg for a breakfasty touch. The stewed spare rib added a spare tyre.
As we eat all restaurant activity suddenly ceases and all eyes are on the TV. Howls of laughter erupt as the 'Good Morning Shanghai' type show plays the 'ultimate dog tease' Youtube clip. Some things are universal.
这份基本相同，只是为了早餐的感觉加了一个鸡蛋。一个大仔排给我的腰围又增加了一圈。
在我们吃饭的时候，突然所有的活动都停止了，所有人都在看电视。在“上海早晨”播放youtube“终极狗狗调戏法”的时候，一阵阵的笑声响起。一些事情是全球通用的。

This fine hound stopped chewing his bone to come and say hello, what a gent.
这个猎犬停下舔噬自己，过来跟我们打招呼，真是个绅士。

We find an open air wet market on Taiwan Road, a few roads up parallel to Nanjing Rd, and far more fun than endless Gucci stores.
我们找到个台湾路上的菜市场，在南京路平行过去几条街，一个比只有看不见尽头的Gucci商店更加有趣的地方。
