The characteristics of local Shanghainese cuisine are not only sweetness, but also the rich red sauce, deliciousness and mellowness are its real symbols.

In terms of cooking methods, he is good at using soy sauce and rock sugar. The dishes produced in this way look red and oily.

Here are a few local dishes that you can never get tired of eating from snacks to adults~ The first dish: Fried shrimps Recommended restaurant name: Lan Xin Restaurant Location: No. 130 Jinxian Road, Shanghai Recommendation reason: Shanghai old restaurant that has been open for 30 years

store, a treasure store hidden among the bustling streets of Shanghai.

The fried shrimps in this store are really highly recommended. The price is very cost-effective and the price/performance ratio is unparalleled.

The food is served quickly, but there are few chairs in the store, so you will have to wait for a table if there is a rush hour.

This fried shrimp is an authentic home-cooked dish.

Every dish tastes like mom.

This is the dish I looked forward to most every time I went to a restaurant as a kid!

Using fresh shrimp as raw material, it is cooked by frying in oil.

After the shrimps are fried in oil, their shells become bright red and covered with soup.

The shrimp shells are fried to a crispy texture, and the shrimp meat inside is sweet and chewy.

The most authentic fried shrimp in oil can be eaten by chewing the shrimp meat and shrimp shell together.

Second course: Sweet and Sour Short Ribs Recommended Restaurant Name: Shanghai Xinhe Bistro Address: Room 104-1, No. 410 and 422, Xinhui Road, Shanghai Reason for recommendation: Authentic Shanghai thick oily red sauce flavor, highly praised by friends.

Standard southern recipe, sweet in the mouth.

The portions of their sweet and sour short ribs are worth the price. Every time I go to their house, I can see many Shanghainese uncles and aunties.

How can a shop that uncles and aunts often visit not be authentic? This is also one of the cold dishes that locals must order when entertaining guests.

Using pork short ribs as the raw material, the sauce is sweet and sour and thick.

The outer layer of the ribs is not thick batter. When you pick up a piece of ribs, you will find that it is covered with a layer of crystal thickening. When you take a bite, the sweet and sour taste and the aroma of gravy explode in your mouth.

The third course: Nanxiang Xiaolongbao recommended restaurant Name: Changxing Building Address: No. 75 Renmin Street, Shanghai Reason for recommendation: Located in Nanxiang Ancient Town, it is an old restaurant with a long history of 120 years. The Xiaolongbao has thin skin and a lot of soup.

Authentic.

Be sure to try the steaming steamed dumplings. The aroma of the dumplings hits your face as soon as they are taken out of the steamer and served to the table.

Their xiaolongbao is not rolled with a rolling pin, but hand-made with the palm of your hand.

I heard from the boss that the dough made in this way takes advantage of the warmth of the palms and will have a more elastic texture.

The most amazing thing about Xiao Long Bao is that it has thin skin and lots of fillings. It is also full of soup.

What I love most is the delicious soup that fills your mouth once you take a bite.

The meat filling inside is firm and elastic, not loose at all.
