Hungover? Awesome Food Guide To Fix You

Last night you were on fire, today you are burnt to a crisp.  Oh, hangover, you never let us down…

You just feel miserable, slowly dying in your bed, your body just starving for anything. Food, mainly.  Junk Food. Here is the guide on where to find the best cure for those painful afternoons.

PIZZA

Zozzo’s Pizza at Metro City

The texture is as soft as your brain feels right now. But who cares? Hundreds of venues offer pizza in Shanghai. However, nothing is more disappointing than a pizza with the wrong dough/taste/cheese and many local restaurants don’t know the difference between a pizza and a tomato tart. We recommend you to go with the western venues. Get the pizza you deserve.
