Today for breakfast I got a couple of steamed buns, or "baozi". One with basically a pork meatball inside, the other one filled with some sort of vegetable and minced pork.

For lunch, I got these mini pan fried pork buns called "sheng jian bao", which are a street food staple here in Shanghai.

You have to pay attention when eating them though, because the juices from the meat are locked inside; if you're not careful when you bite into them, it will squirt everywhere! I've messed up more than one shirt while eating them at work. Considering their small size, they are a lot more filling than they look - I got eight of them, and I could just barely finish.
Total for lunch: 5RMB (US$0.73)
I wasn't so hungry at dinner, so I decided to just make onigiri (Japanese rice balls). Three different types of sprinkles, for variety..

Total spent today: 7.2RMB (US$0.91)
Money remaining for the week: 38.2RMB (US$5.59)
Now here's the REAL challenge. It's Friday night, and people are gonna want to go out. What to do, what to do?..

Keep it up man. Most of the food you got off the street looks good! And when did you learn to cook like that?
