As a northerner, I actually have a general feeling about many of Shanghai's classic snacks. For example, I don't love seaweed for the famous onion and oil Kaiyang noodles; for example, the famous two-sided yellow and pork ribs rice cake, although the flavor is good, it's not amazing. Various other Chinese pastries, such as Chongming Cake, Green Dumpling, Haitang Cake, and so on, are not as tasty because of the taste problems caused by regional differences. In Shanghai let me feel amazing is the following five kinds of food:
1, ruby red cream small square2, pan-fried steamed bread
Shanghai buns called steamed bread, steamed bread is still called steamed bread =_=!
3, xiao long bao
Every time you go to the Yuyuan Garden / City God Temple, where the Nanxiang xiao long steamed buns store is in a long queue, and when it rains, you will also hold an umbrella row.
5, eight treasures duck
Eight treasures duck is the Shanghai region's characteristics of the traditional dishes, is my every party in Shanghai must order dishes, because there is no regional differences, all over the partners are very like eight treasures duck.
National Day recommendation: hairy crabs
Shanghai is delicious, of course, is to go to the old old shop old shop gathered place. Because in that around the old Shanghai famous food stalls, is equally famous, so go to Shanghai to eat the most delicious, of course, to go to the Jinling Restaurant, the old Zhengxing restaurant and so on the collection of Yunnan Road, which is Shanghai's famous food street. As long as your stomach can accommodate the countless delicacies, then you should eat with an open stomach. The bustling Shanghai Yunnan Road street, all kinds of snacks smell, here you can eat small Jinling salt water duck, freshly come to the ribs of the rice cake, Shaoxing white chicken, Nanxiang XiaoLongBao and pan-fried buns and so on. You will be able to enjoy the Shanghai food with your mouth full of flavors.
After reading so many of the answers above, I think the answers of my friends from abroad occupy the majority. As a local Shanghai natives, the old editor I this national banquet mouth in the answer to the photography question to do a reply.
Shanghai's local friends don't get angry!
With my own food experience over the years, I'd say there's nothing particularly delicious in Shanghai. But there are some things that I really want to have a bite of when I come back after being away from Shanghai for a while.
Let me correct a few of the less-than-authentic responses above!
First of all, just as I corrected the fact that the Delightful Moon House is not a long-established Suzhou restaurant, Ruby is definitely not the best Western restaurant in Shanghai. Ruby is definitely not the best pastry in Shanghai. The whipped cream on Ruby's little square of fresh milk is whipped and nowhere near as good as the pure cream cake I remember. Pure cream squares are almost impossible to buy now. As the first Chinese-foreign cooperative bakery after the reform and opening up of China, Ruby still has prestige among Shanghainese. But in terms of flavor, it's not as good as the more traditional Harbin. It's far inferior. But Harbin's stuff is expensive, because the price of the ingredients is there. I recommend it. Any of them are good and sold in weighed portions.
Fresh come is the most delicious I remember as a child. The taste of fresh come in the basement will always be hard to erase. But in the past few years, the reputation of Freshly Baked has plummeted in the hearts of old Shanghai Keller. I tried the Yandang Road branch by chance, and it was so bad that I threw up. The first time I went to the Yandang Road branch, the flavor was so bad that I was spit out.
Some of the old masters, such as Dexing Hall, Old Zhengxing, are actually quite good. The only thing is that you have to make do with the face of the state. But if you're looking for a restaurant that's not as famous as the old one, forget about it.
Shanghai's local cuisine originated in the alley small dishes, originally prepared for the working class. So there is no need to go to a big restaurant, but many small museums still maintain the characteristics of the local food should have. The theme of local cuisine is not the thick oil and red sauce, the real theme is to use cheap and fresh local food ingredients to make good food.
Excluding the famous restaurants, Shanghai has a great mix of food from all over the world, with a wide range of flavors. Take your chances.
However, because of the fusion of flavors from other places, and especially because of the availability of local ingredients, none of the foreign cuisine in Shanghai is actually authentic. I'm sure you'll forgive me if I don't!

Shanghai's best thing, cream small side, not one of the One Week June was very young, full of longing for Shanghai, this reason? The reason for this is because of the love of reading books. I remember reading the novels of Wang Anyi and Cheng Naisan, two authentic Shanghai female novelists, in the text of the detailed record of the scene of the old Shanghai people's lives. I remember the book describes the Corning Road full of yellow sycamore leaves, but also the Bund on the sea of people, and ruby's cream small square, which is Shanghai people's daily afternoon tea snacks, but also the old Keller's favorite adhere to the habit, in short, One Week Jun is swallowing saliva to turn the book over. Afterwards adult, many times to Shanghai for meetings and business trips, in the name of sweeping the street, late for the long-desired cream small square, feel in Shanghai, the flashy imperial city, small square is the most simple spokesman, the point is, delicious, let me a mouthful of always remember.
Cream small square, the most authentic is the ruby, so far, has been 30 years, even if now just a middle-aged woman will do the flipping cake, even if the empire has too much from all over the world influx of well-known pastry, "ruby" milk small square is still strong, standing, visible! The power of its charm is simply.
You know, the Shanghai people more foreign ah, how picky ah, live in a room of a few square meters, but also to do all the work, the so-called screw shells to do the field, understand that. So they are particularly picky and insistent on eating. Eat pastry, drink afternoon tea, is as early as before the liberation of the habit, and the general income of the family feel uncommon.
To say that the origin of the ruby, I have to say that he is actually a Sino-British joint venture, the founder of the famous British Chinese Mr. Bingzhong. You say he has how the wind it, October 12, 1986, is that hat Queen Elizabeth II came to China to visit, Ruby Cake Shop for the Queen custom-made a three-layer cream cake, you say, their pastry is how authentic. And the Queen Mother didn't say it wasn't delicious.
After 30 years in business, Ruby still has its red and white checkered tablecloths.
The flavor of the Cream Cube is sweet but creamy. Cream is whipped fresh cream, so it does not have a synthetic plastic flavor, eat in the mouth is melted fat of the greasy taste, but, again, not really greasy, and no sugar cheap sweetness, that smoothness, so that you have a psychological dependence on the cake embryo fluffy, and pineapple particles, simply to die for a good Bavarian. And, the price is fair, you know, a lot of labeled whipped cream cake, opening is 68, how many small square, 15 pieces of a box of two, my God, is definitely the conscience of the industry. At this time it is appropriate to have a cup of hand-brewed coffee, that a little bit of bitterness, that dissolves the natural sweetness.
Small Shaoxing's white chicken, small Jinling's salt water duck, big pot spring's pan-fried steamed buns, freshly made pork ribs rice cakes, Wang Jia Sha's crabmeat tofu, Dafuqi's eight treasures rice, the International Hotel's butterfly pastry, Kaiser's Hadou and Napoleon, Ruby's creamy little square, Shen Dacheng's small wontons, two sides of the yellow, eel paste noodles and cakes, the real oldest room's fresh meat moon cake. ...... When it comes to these, the mouth is drooling
Shanghai is one of my favorite cities, the city is beautiful, and all kinds of food is spread all over the streets and alleys. There are a lot of delicious things to eat in Shanghai, such as shengjian, qianzhangbao, ribs and rice cakes, big pork chop rice, etc. But there is one thing that is my favorite. But there is one thing that is my favorite, and that is dried gizzard. This gizzard is not vacuum-packed kind, is packed in a small paper bag, no juice gizzard, cut into a piece of a slice, salty and moderate, tough, very fragrant and fragrant. I used to go to Shanghai, every day to buy a packet, but unfortunately now sells very little. Later, when I went to Shanghai, I looked for a long time before I bought it in a food store opposite People's Square, and now I don't know if this store is still there!
Shanghai has a lot of food, and I prefer noodles, such as crab noodles, yellow fish noodles.
A kind of grapes ...... seems to be the giant peak grapes produced in the suburbs around Shanghai. Ten years ago to eat, not expensive, three or four dollars a catty. The flavor is very good. There is also the Suzhou-style mooncake from Shanghai City God Temple. The others were not found. Maybe I prefer seafood. My relatives in Shanghai went to Fuzhou, also said that Fuzhou has a lot of good food, seafood is better and cheaper than Shanghai. My relatives in Shanghai are very envious of Fuzhou people who eat in restaurants as a regular meal. Shanghai restaurants are very expensive. However, home-made is not expensive and the flavor is also good.
1. In Shanghai, small South China to eat smoked fish and pickled dukes fresh very good, are authentic Shanghai local dishes, smoked fish without thorns, sweet and salty, can be accompanied by congee and vegetables, the empty mouth directly to eat are suitable; 2. Pickled dukes fresh is with bamboo shoots, fresh pork and salted meat stew soup, fresh and salty, soup and bamboo shoots can be relieved of grease; 3. Din Tai Fung's steamed buns have a variety of fillings, tastes and the North's buns are not quite the same, the taste of fresh! The sticky rice ball next to Lu Xun Park has been featured on many TV stations. It is made of glutinous rice and filled with fried dough, and comes in two flavors, sweet and salty, the sweet is sugar and the salty is pickled vegetables, which makes it an authentic Shanghai snack.
