City Shop (Xujiahui)

This vast supermarket stocks pricey reminders of home. Stock up here on good-quality meat and bread, plus imported goods from cereal to sweets and candy. Some of the stuff takes a 400% markup — cereal is particularly killing — but the vegetables (grown on the shop’s own farm outside Shanghai) are surprisingly reasonable and there are cheap made-to-order sandwiches and rotisseried chicken, too.
