Shanghai local cuisine is definitely something many people want to try. However, there may not be as many local cuisines in Shanghai as before. But if you want to try it, I recommend you to visit several places in Bianxiao.
Hongling Restaurant
Address: No.29, Sichuan South Road (near Jinling East Road)
Business hours: 11:11-22:11
This is a relatively low-key local restaurant, which mainly deals with the business of old customers around. The environment is very warm and the price is not expensive.
1. South suckling pork chop: Their secret milk chop is red, and there is a layer of south milk between the pork chop and the bread crumbs. Their bread crumbs were wrapped after the pork chops were fried. They don't taste greasy and feel as crisp as pancakes.
2. Fried rice with eight treasures: This dish is actually not on the menu. This is a hidden menu, which means that ordinary eight-treasure rice is flattened, fried on both sides, and then sprinkled with a lot of osmanthus and sugar. However, the eight-treasure rice here is made of lard, so when it was first served, the hot air was filled with the sweetness of lard, osmanthus and sugar, and it felt particularly good. The upper and lower layers are crispy rice, and the middle layer is glutinous, which is super delicious.
3. stir-fry cucumber seedlings: this dish is very special, that is, melon seedlings. It tastes a little cucumber and a little astringent when eaten, which is suitable for summer.
4. refreshing pickles: chilled bubbles, especially refreshing.
Shen Dacheng
Address: No.636, Nanjing East Road (near Zhejiang Middle Road)
This store is a century-old shop and a representative old pastry shop in Shanghai. There are many traditional cakes and delicacies in the shop, which are worth trying.
1. Double layer jiaozi: The manufacturing process of double layer jiaozi is very complicated. First, wrap a jiaozi stuffed with bean paste, and then wrap a layer of black dough. Because jiaozi is sticky and sticky, it needs to be wrapped with a layer of shredded coconut before it is closed, so the flavor is very strong.
2. Tiaotou cake: The glutinous rice skin of Tiaotou cake is white, soft and elastic, with red bean paste wrapped inside. Bean paste tastes strong but not greasy.
3. Jin Tuan: This is bean flour wrapped in glutinous rice skin, which is a little dry.
4. Fresh meat moon cake: This is similar to all cakes. It tastes delicious, but it tastes sweet. You can try something sweet.
Guangming _ Grand Restaurant
Address: No.588 Huaihai Middle Road (near Chengdu South Road)
Business hours: 7: 11 -21: 11
This is a restaurant where Shanghai locals will queue up. In summer, a separate window will be opened to sell cold and bad goods.
1. Bad pot-stewed vegetables: Bad pot-stewed vegetables are only made by a special process. They are made of soup boiled with more than a dozen spices and mixed with carved wine grains. Rotten gravy is very inclusive. Whether it is pork belly, boiled chicken, pork belly, edamame or vegetarian chicken, it can be delicious as long as it is cooked, soaked in rotten gravy made of distiller's grains and refrigerated overnight. When you don't want to eat in summer, you can eat five-flavored edamame, and you will have an appetite after eating it.
2 Small wonton in chicken sauce: Their small wonton is different, with thick skin and plenty of meat.
3. Crab fried dumpling: You must eat fried dumpling when you go to Shanghai. The pot stickers in this shop are crispy at the bottom. I like it. The meat in it tastes good with juice.
