speaking of Shanghai's delicious food, there are quite a few. Bian Xiao, let me give you a brief introduction. However, there are too many delicious foods in Shanghai. Bian Xiao is only here to introduce some of them, so if you want to know what is delicious in Shanghai, you have to go to Shanghai to experience it.
fried dumplings
when it comes to Shanghai's special snacks, there must be fried dumplings, which have a history of almost a hundred years. The fried dumplings in Shanghai are golden and crisp, sprinkled with sesame seeds and shallots, and they taste delicious just by smelling them. Fried steamed buns must be eaten while they are hot. Although they may be a little spicy, they are only delicious when the skin is thick and juicy and very spicy. What about traditional fried dumplings? Pork is used as stuffing. Now there are many kinds of patterns, such as muscle and shrimp.
The most famous one in Shanghai must be Xiao Yang's fried dumpling. This store has many branches in Shanghai, and the price is relatively close to the people. Shucaiji fried rice and Youlian fried rice are both very good, both of which are old shops.
Xiao Long Tang Bao
Speaking of which, there is something similar to the fried dumpling missing, but the skin of jiaozi is thinner, and there is more soup in it, which actually tastes different. Maybe this missing thing is because of its similar shape. When it comes to Shanghai dumplings, the most famous one is of course Nanxiang steamed buns. Basically, you can see its branches in many places in Shanghai. With the increasing popularity of Nanxiang Xiaolongbao, many tourists who travel to Shanghai now go to the Nanxiang Xiaolongbao in Chenghuang Temple to eat Xiaolongbao.
There are Ding Taifeng, Wanshouzhai, Jiajia baozi stuffed with juicy pork and Wangjiasha in Shanghai, where you can still eat good baozi stuffed with juicy pork.
Crab shell yellow
This is a snack in Shanghai, which is a bit like a sesame seed cake. Because its shape is round and its skin is yellow like a crab shell, it is called crab shell yellow. In fact, it is made of pastry and baking powder, with stuffing inside and sesame seeds outside, and baked on the oven wall. There are two kinds of fillers in this question. One is salty, such as crab powder, shrimp, fresh meat and scallion oil. Sweet is jujube paste. Sugar, bean paste, roses and other flavors, Wuyuan bakery near Jing 'an Temple tastes very good.
Fresh meat moon cakes
As for moon cakes, I believe many friends will say that they have only eaten sweet moon cakes, but they should try salty moon cakes. For example, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Luzhou, this generation's specialty snacks, fresh meat moon cakes. This kind of moon cake has crisp side skin and distinct layers. The meat inside is delicious, and you can taste the soup in one bite. Fresh meat moon cakes actually taste a bit like a combination of fried dumplings and old cakes, but they are not as greasy as ordinary moon cakes, and they are delicious only when they are hot.
In Shanghai, the mooncakes in Laodafang and Guangming Village restaurants are very famous and delicious, especially the one on Nanjing Road.
Sweet and sour pork chop
This dish is a cold dish of hundreds of local dishes. Basically, you can eat it in restaurants in Shanghai. However, as we all know, Shanghai food is sweet, so this dish is also suitable for friends who like sweets, such as Bian Xiao.
Rib Rice Cake
This is a very special snack in Shanghai. In fact, the rice cake with ribs is not fried rice cake with ribs. Instead, choose a whole fried pork ribs with two rice cakes under it. The ribs are golden in color, crisp in surface and tender in meat. The rice cake is waxy, a little tendentious and a little sweet and spicy. It's really good to mix them together.
The fresh ribs rice cake at No.46 South Yunnan Road is very famous, and it is also an old brand in Shanghai. Many friends will choose to taste it here.
Shanghai Cake Group
Shanghai Cake Group is the general name of a kind of cakes, among which, jumping cake and green red bean cake are often eaten by people. Tiaotou cake is made of glutinous rice flour and sprinkled with osmanthus powder, so it has a planned tendency to eat. There are even many pastry shops in the world that sell them. There are always people waiting in line at the gates of some time-honored brands, such as Wangjiasha and Shen Dacheng. However, some snack bars also sell these, but they are all common youth groups and are basically sold everywhere.
Xiang Xiao recommended a good one here, that is, Xinghualou. This family has innovated a green ball with a strong taste, which is the taste of salted egg yolk and fluffy meat. Salted egg yolk is not put in the whole, but mixed with meat floss. It tastes good.
sauced duck
Shanghai's sauced duck is also very famous. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Shandong generations have the habit of eating sauced ducks, which are generally found in larger hotels and restaurants. Duck meat is tender, salty and sweet, fragrant and mellow, and its color is red and bright.
Lu Xiaolu Restaurant, Lvyang Village Restaurant and Guangming Village Restaurant are also recommended.
Shanghai drunken crab
Shanghai drunken crab is one of the most distinctive dishes in Shanghai cuisine. After September every year, when the river crabs are fat, some of them will be selected to be drunk crabs. But the best time for drunken crabs is at the end of October and the beginning of February.
Generally, female crabs mature earlier. When crabs are served in autumn, they are more delicious than male crabs. But when the male crab matures, the drunk crab made by the male crab is more delicious than the female crab.
boiled chicken
boiled chicken, also known as three-crisp chicken, is a traditional dish in Shanghai. Generally, cold dishes are cooked, because no seasoning is added when cooking, so it is called white-cut chicken. However, boiled chicken is still a test. After all, you have to put all the chicken blood in to ensure a fair complexion. It is also necessary to take out and remember the internal organs without affecting the appearance integrity of the chicken, and not to damage the chicken skin when scalding and plucking. All these works add up to a delicious boiled chicken.
