Breakfast
See also: Dim SumShanghai people do not usually spend too much time on having breakfast, so breakfast in Shanghai is pretty simple. Shanghai people are used to grabbing some food in small snack stores or having a bowl of paofan (simplified Chinese: 泡饭; traditional Chinese: 泡飯; pinyin: pàofàn; rice in soup or water) with pickled cucumbers, pickled vegetables or a salty duck egg at home.

Famous quotes containing the word breakfast:
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Ever since I was a kid my folks fed me bigotry for breakfast and ignorance for supper. Never, not once did they ever make me feel proud of where I was born. That’s it. That was a cancer they put in me. No knowledge of my country. No pride. Just a hymn of hate.”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
