Shanghai Tongji University Now Has “British Egg Fried Rice”

"British Egg Fried Rice" - a foreigner cooks fried rice outside Tongji University in Shanghai.

From Liba:

Tongji [University] really is becoming more and more enjoyable… After the French crepes at the south gate, a British fried rice has appeared at foot of the doctorate building at the southwest gate…and what more, it looks like it’s even a joint-venture. As I was coming home, there was a British brother hard at work stir-frying the wok… here’s a British fried rice advertisement photo… 笑掉大牙 扬眉

Comments from Liba:

小小乔云:

Hehe, not far from where I live, I really want to go take a look.

tonyzyq:

Are the French crepes good, have you tried them yet?

leonding:

British egg fried rice… real creative.

寶貝kula:

Clearly not as professional as the French crepes [stand]~

原点坐标:

Apart from the cook being British, the equipment is all Chinese.

粉黛仙子:

We’re not far from American yangrouchuan [lamb skewers/kebabs] now…

起泡酒:

British food isn’t really tasty.

This Chinese-British joint venture will probably be an improvement.

可爱大咪:

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, they’re also using drainage oil and adding various additives!
So delicious! 笑掉大牙 笑掉大牙 笑掉大牙

小鹿m:

Laowai like publicity stunts too, hehe, probably knows this/he will become famous.

"British fried rice" in Shanghai.

From KDS:

Following French crepes, British egg fried rice has also checked in

emoticon Now the chengguan have a problem.

Comments from KDS:

songwu:

[He] can open a Chinese restaurant when he goes back to his country. emoticon

cp935:

法式薄饼已经被查封了”>The French crepes [stand] has already been shut down.
It’s said because foreign students studying in China do not have work visas
and cannot operate a business. emoticon

情瘦:

The chengguan is now facing the Eight Nation Alliance.

Esc:

[This is] too niu! Where is it? I must go eat there!

于傲兰:

Publicity stunt. Find a foreigner to go through the motions and put up a sign, who doesn’t know how to do this~

海湾乐乐:

Truly an international city.

naughty:

British egg fried rice? emoticon
It would be more like it if he were making fish & chips.

随风追忆:

I’m waiting for Italian fried noodles ["chow mein"].

纯洁激进:

This peddler’s sanitary conditions aren’t that much different from those of mainland YP.

Foxd:

What’s the white blur behind the cook? emoticonemoticonemoticon
This is PS‘d, right? I’m sure Westerners wouldn’t use used drink bottles to hold oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. emoticonemoticon

包仔饭:

Even Westerners are beginning to become street vendors/peddlers.

小拧卖女孩:

emoticon Is the oil he’s using imported British drainage oil?

谢霆锋:

Ever since the French crepes was made famous, this entire week, the chengguan have parked a car promptly at 7pm on Chifeng Road outside the Tongji University side entrance, leaving only at 11pm, not missing a single day.

The other street vendors/peddlers now hate those French people, now forced to go over to Miyun Road on the Hongkou District border, rushing back to Yangpu District at 11pm.

浦东铁塔:

Evil capitalism isn’t working anymore.
They’ve come to our Heavenly Kingdom to make a living.

生化晓得伐:

emoticon Soon there will be Western beggars.

    Not sure what to think about this, but at least i get the sofa

    • Whatever

      Want anything to eat?

  • Marsvin

    British cuisine combined with the hygiene of Chinese street vendors, a match made in heaven?

  • Raphael

    wtf is “british egg fried rice”? he should try selling something more authentic, like fish and chips, or bangers and mash, or Sunday roast, or strumpets, or w/e the British really like to indulge in.

    • Whatever

      If he would sell what british “indulge in” he would go broke right away. that is not what you usually have in mind when you think of a tasty, delicious meal.

      • http://www.foarp.blogspot.com FOARP

        Fish n’ chips. Unless you’ve actually ever had it from a genuine fish n’ chip shop (rather than a pub or whatever) you really can’t talk about British food.

        • http://baihaifeng.blogspot.com Dr. Jones Jr.

          How about some Cornish pasties? They’d probably be popular.

    • donscarletti

      I think you mean “crumpet”, which is a type of bread. A “strumpet” is a semi-obsolete word meaning whore or slut.

      • Leo

        “STRUMPETS“

        `I think you mean “crumpets“….

        OH MY GOD I’M CRYING RN

        • Englebert

          That strumpet/crumpet thing is one of the gags in ‘Dumb and Dumber’….never thought I’d see the real thing, though…

    • Irvin

      I was thinking the same thing, wtf is british egg fried rice? I’ve never even heard of it. I thought fried rice of all kinds was a chinese thing.

      Anyway this is getting out of hand, next we’ll see a black dude selling apple pies.

    • Jon

      He would definitely make more selling strumpets….

    • Rawlie

      Hahahahaha. Do you mean ‘crumpets’? Strumpets are loose birds, mate! Saying that, we do like to indulge in those, too. Just ask Ryan Giggs!

    What so this dude is famous coz his white?

    • ImmortalTechnique

      Chav-iest brit I’ve seen in China. Pudgy face and Yankees cap… oh lord. Save us.

      • donscarletti

        You forgot to mention the jacket lined with what is supposed to look like Burberry tartan.

        Terrible, wish he could give Britain some face by looking less like Dave Lister.

          What the Smeg are you talking about?

        • KfU

          haha – genius donscarletti. . . a Red-Dwarf reference on ChinaSmack…

          Although Lister was a “Scouser”, this guy looks more like a “Chav”…

      • Boris

        You wanted tan Doc Martens, a green bomber jacket and a Union Jack T-shirt. Isn’t it great to be reminded of home?

      • Boo

        or a Wigger as the Americans like to refer to them.

    • http://encyclopediadramatica.com/China Elijah

      Here’s the thing, it’s pretty obvious that this is not his job, it’s probably not even his stand.

      Even one of the chinese commentators pointed out that there were old re-used bottles on the stand. Besides, fried egg rice? That’s hardly British as others have pointed out.

      Watch the video and you’ll see that the chinese guy beside is invariably the real owner and is giving him instructions on how to properly cook it.

      Nope, this is just an advertising gimmick capitalizing on the French students crepes.

  • gabriel

    hrm i can see that he is perhaps using some british ingredients? such as sausages?

  • Jeff

    Are we sure that is a dude?

    Looks more like Rosie O’Donnell…

  • jay K.

    dude stick with fish and chips man, other than that and scones british food is pretty much shitty..i mean they had an empire to run..now the french with their blunders in empire building they had more time to perfect culinary techniques

    • http://www.foarp.blogspot.com FOARP

      Wait, weren’t you in British funk/jazz group Jamiroquai?

    • Rawlie

      Dude. What do you know about French cuisine? A lot of it you wouldn’t touch with a 10ft pole. There’s more to it than coq au vin. You may slag off British food but how do you account for the multitudes of celebrity chefs actually being British?

    • KfU

      Curry is British, well at least the stuff you’ll find on the menus in 99% of restaurants outside of India – those “famous” Indian dishes were developed by the British Army. . .

      This will “outrage” people I’m sure – but Google it if you have doubts….

  • Alikese

    I’m pretty sure that this kid isn’t opening a streetcart. Maybe he goes to the same guy every day so the normal chef let him cook for a night.

    That setup is clearly not done by a whitey: all of the bowls with chopsticks in them and tea bottles with soy sauce/vinegar, the wok looks like it’s a couple of years old, and in the video the chav doesn’t even know how to cook it.

    At least the french guys went to the trouble of making their own stand and cooking their local food. This English laowai is totally halfassing the whole thing to become famous. And he’s fat.

    • ImmortalTechnique

      The Other White Meat!

  • Hongjian

    10/10

    would eat again.

    something I actually like regarding the whitefags in China for once, is that they arent too shy to do something ‘lowly’ as this, in harsh contrast to the materialist bitches&whores, post-90′s kiddies and Li-Gang’s sons who are making up the majority of the Chinese young people nowadays, and who cannot even wipe their own shit from their asses without mommy and over 9000 servants helping them.

    So, I’ve to ding up these fuckers. Britfags and Frenchfags are useful to the chinese public for once!

    • http://www.foarp.blogspot.com FOARP

      So what are you going to cook, currywurst? It would be good if you knew how to actually know how to do it, rather than telling Chinese folk what they should do from Germany, where you have taken citizenship and lived for may years.

    • staylost

      Honest work is never lowly.

  • http://www.foarp.blogspot.com FOARP

    This is FOARP bait, no? At any rate, it seems that my plans to impress the Chinese folk with fish and chips goodness has come somewhat undone . . . . .

  • kate

    english food?doesn’t sound appetizing at all. there’s a reason in the melting pot that is LA with thousands of ethnic food restaurants one can count british eateries with one hand

    • http://www.foarp.blogspot.com FOARP

      Same reason LA eateries in London are non-existent?

      • Englebert

        George Orwell wrote a fine piece in defence of British cuisine, and lists some of the excellent dishes native to the British Isles. I’ll refrain from copying it here as it would only make me hungry, but I’ll just say one thing: PORK PIES. There is a reason why the Brits built an empire, and that reason is pork pies.

      • Jones

        LA is a city, you’d want to say “same reason American eateries in London are non-existent” to keep it even. However, that’d be a lie.

        • Jones

          But I am not in agreement that British food sucks. I actually like bland food, to some extent.

  • FYIADragoon

    lol not even the Chinese find the British to be attractive. I guess that’s what Americans are for.

  • eddie9684

    gosh, so he is just making fried rice, more like learning from the other Chinese guy how to make it..

    no British anything there..

  • http://parlato.blogspot.com MAio

    It’s silly to an extent that I can’t fully grasp. The idea of the French crepes was, well, good (I heard it from a Chinese friend that told me… since you’re Italian you should think about making pizzas!), but this is just plain wrong.
    Doesn’t really promote Britain here… or British food. Whatever they were trying to say, well, it’s a chance they missed.

  • RichinBeijing

    This is so f**king obviously not the British guy’s own stand. Just some lame publicity stunt. He’s simply stuck a sign on a random Chinese guy’s egg fried rice cart and posed for the photos for a while. Look at how the Chinese guy watches over as the Brit is cooking (in the tudou.com video). It is blatantly the Chinese guy’s cart and he is just giving this Brit rent of his cart.

    Please Chinasmack, the lack of good articles these days has been scarce. And this French crepe one has been up for days with no change. Is there a shortage of news at present? Does this laowai really deserve a place on your website for this half arsed effort?

  • bunny99

    “The other street vendors/peddlers now hate those French people, now forced to go over to Miyun Road on the Hongkou District border, rushing back to Yangpu District at 11pm.”

    Of course – selfish French students, didn’t bother to think about the consequences of their attention grabbing stunt. Now the Chinese vendors have to move and use British lao wai to attract new customers.

    “British egg fried rice” seems the same as the French crepes which were just “Burnt French Chinese street-side pancakes” maybe that was the joke.

    The scruffy cart is an indication of what the London 2012 olympics will be like.

  • Master Huang

    crepes are better, fried rice is too common

  • UAX

    stupid white cunt looking for publicity while copying something that has already been done b4 by the french!!!!!sucks

  • dr_barefoot

    totally agree, blatantly obvious. this is surreal…

    is white skin on sale??

  • Jack

    What the fuck is he wearing? How could anyone look in the mirror dressed like that before going out and think “looking good!”? He’s bringing shame on Britain, especially in contrast to the French guys.

  • http://www.a@a.com The other guy

    His dish is called “Blitish fly lice”

    Btw, this guy is also considered handsome.
    If it wasn’t for his eye raking fashion, he’d be rated as a 9 with Chinese girls.

    They be like: “Ooooo I wants to sucks yous white dicks off!”

  • http://unblockfacebookinchina.info/vpn-in-china Rod

    Haha, great. I can’t wait to see what’s going to open up next week. The chengguan have to chance. The Americans are DEFINITELY going to get in on this.

  • ACE

    All these white trash cannot cook a decent meal so don’t bother.that’s why they all live on JUNK food.these people are just Junks!!!

  • http://www.matthewsawtell.com Matthew A. Sawtell

    Until I see an old school NYC Push Cart Hot Dog Stand – complete with a Red and Yellow Umbrella – I remain neutral on this ‘development’. Hell – I would like to see someone get a shangzhai’ed version of a Windy City Hot Dog shop or Detroit style Coney Island somewhere in Beijing or Guangzhou – just to see the reaction in the Chinese press.

  • BigBadBoy

    Economic refugees ….. baaaah!!!

    I probably couldn’t hold down a real job at ‘home’ and came to China to ‘study’ and hump women….

    Why is this news?…does Chinasmack show every beggar on every street in China?

  • The mentalist

    Chinese people are so brainwashed by the western, British egg fried rice???? What the fuck !!!!! Lol how is it so different from the normal egg jidan chow fan????? And why are u guys making fool out of yourselfs??? Come to the states and u will see ugly Chinese selling all fuckup stuffs and nobody gives a fuck and in china people are like oh my god laowai laowai laowai….. Fucking losers!!
