The time-honored delicacies of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street can hardly be counted with one hand. Taikang's retail biscuits, Xinya Cantonese dim sum, duck slices in Yanyunlou, moon cakes with smoked fish and fresh meat in the real boss's room, cakes in Shen Dacheng, South goods from Sanyang and Shao Wansheng, and everything from the First Food Company. Many shops are still necessary for Shanghainese to make their own new year's goods.

If you really want to enjoy food when visiting Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, you might as well go to the nearby Yunnan Road Food Street or Wujiang Road on Nanjing West Road. Of course, if you want to have an emotional appeal, you can go to the Peace Hotel on the Bund of Nanjing East Road, which is definitely a romantic feeling of old Shanghai. As for how the food is cooked, you can ask an international friend like Bush.
