Eclectic café and bakery Ginger, situated in a beautiful park on Xingguo Lu, does a brunch menu on weekends. It’s mostly a sampling of simple European flavors with smaller dishes like homemade muesli or toast with “sweet and savory spreads.” Sourdough plays prominently on the menu. You can get it topped with sautéed shiitakes and scrambled eggs or pan-fried rosemary sardines with slow roasted tomatoes, pesto and arugula. You’ll also find sweet treats like ricotta hotcakes topped with fresh fruit, pistachio and honey. As you’d expect, they throw in a few exotic items as well, like the ochatsuke, a Japanese-style dish of rice topped with salmon flakes, wakame seaweed, sesame and genmai cha, Japanese tea that’s roasted with brown rice. Or there is their specialty, shakshouka, a Moroccan-style breakfast of roasted peppers, tomatoes, spinach and eggs sunny-side-up topped with feta crumbles. Prices range anywhere between 30 and 68 kuai for a la carte dishes, or 140rmb for a set.
