Finding the Best Spots in Shanghai: My Tips
To discover the best eateries, I start with Rednote, a social platform where folks share their experiences. Think of it as a local insights hub, offering genuine reviews and tips. Sure, some might be ads, but if the food is sedap (delicious), who's complaining?
For navigation, ditch Google Maps in China and embrace AMAP! It's your ultimate travel companion, especially in Shanghai. AMAP pinpoints the fastest metro routes, letting you save money on taxis and splurge on more food. Plus, the 3D maps for malls are a game-changer, showing store locations floor by floor. So helpful when the restaurant is hidden inside a shopping complex!
My Bahasa Mandarin is limited to a few basic phrases, so LaiTrip comes to the rescue for ordering food. This app scans menus, providing translations, images, ingredient details, and even allergy info for recognized dishes. As someone with allergies, this feature is incredibly helpful! Plus, it helps identify local favourites!
