Shanghai is the capital of gourmet food.

In China, it is mentioned as the capital of gourmet food.

More people will think of Guangzhou because “eating in Guangzhou”.

Some people will say Chaoshan, because Chaoshan people know how to eat and love to eat.

There are definitely many people who will say Chengdu, because Sichuan cuisine, whether it is a banquet or street food, is absolutely delicious and has conquered the tongues of hundreds of millions of people.

Few people think of Shanghai.

——But I think Shanghai is definitely one of the food cities, and sometimes the “one” can even be removed.

Many friends are not used to the "local cuisine" in Shanghai. I know this, but Shanghai is far more than just Shanghai cuisine.

There is great Huaiyang cuisine here, using fresh food from the Yangtze River. There is very exquisite Guizhou cuisine, which is better than all the restaurants I have eaten in Guizhou for half a month. There are high-end Cantonese dishes that are not much different from Guangzhou.

If you talk about these Chinese food, you can find better restaurants than Shanghai in other cities in mainland China.

Many of the food options other than Chinese food are the only ones in mainland China. Similar restaurants in other cities are much worse than those in Shanghai.

Shanghai’s Japanese, French, Korean, Spanish, and Italian food are also all very good, and the best ones are even better than those in their place of origin.

On the one hand, because Shanghai has a large population and people come from all over the world, there are enough customers for any cuisine

On the other hand, because Shanghai There are many rich people who can afford some very expensive ingredients, which makes differentiated high-end catering possible.

Perhaps, for Shanghai itself, its local food culture is far less influential than Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine. But in Shanghai, you can eat delicious food contributed by chefs from all over the world.

In fact, the so-called "local cuisine" in Shanghai is actually formed by absorbing the advantages of Zhejiang cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Western food after Shanghai was established as a port. Cuisine.

So Shanghai has had a tradition of integration since ancient times.

It also allows delicacies from all over the world to blend in Shanghai, forming a more brilliant food culture.

So I say Shanghai is also worthy of the term "City of Food".
