Although Shanghai has a variety of delicacies from all over the country and even other countries, as a local time-honored brand, if you travel to Shanghai, I must share a few must-visit shops.
1. Shanghai International Hotel Butterfly Cake This is definitely a must-buy souvenir when traveling to Shanghai. It is very suitable whether you eat it by yourself or give it to relatives and friends when you go home.
If you want to buy, it is recommended to go early, as sometimes there will be more people queuing up.
In addition to ordinary packaging, there are also gift boxes, but they are difficult to buy.
Butterfly puff pastry is golden in color, crispy in texture, has a light milky aroma, and is not particularly sweet.
If you really don’t have time to buy, you can also look for Taobao purchasing agents.
In addition to butterfly pastries, there are other pastries you can buy here, costing about 80 yuan per person.
2. Fresh meat mooncakes from Guangming Village. Shanghainese people generally eat fresh meat mooncakes. When eating fresh meat mooncakes, Guangming Village is indispensable.
Fresh meat mooncakes must be eaten hot and freshly baked, not to mention how fragrant they are.
At 6 yuan each, the price is really affordable.
3. Ruby Cream Cake The cake that is eaten by locals in Shanghai is none other than Ruby Cream Cake.
The cream cubes must have been a snack for many people since childhood. The white cream is dotted with a red cherry, and underneath is a soft cake embryo. The cream is definitely not greasy, and one person can easily eat two pieces.
Ruby's chestnut cake is also very good.
On average, a piece of cake costs about 10 yuan.
4. Hongkou Cake Tuan is a shop specializing in selling cake dumplings. There are branches everywhere on the streets of Shanghai.
Green dumplings with egg yolk and meat floss are a must-buy. In fact, northerners have rarely seen green dumplings. If you travel to Shanghai, you must try it.
The Tiaotou cake is also my favorite. It has a soft and glutinous outer shell wrapped with red bean paste. If you are a lover of glutinous and glutinous cakes, go buy it and try it.
5. Garden Hotel Butter Biscuits. The biscuits at this restaurant are made by reservation. You have to make a reservation online first and then pick them up offline. The packaging is very beautiful.
Recommend the double flavor, raisins and orange peel, the biscuits are very crispy, and the cream is very sweet. It tastes better after being refrigerated.
However, the price is a bit expensive, 138 yuan for 10 pieces.
