As a northerner, I actually feel ordinary about many classic snacks in Shanghai. For example, the famous kai yang mixed noodles with scallion oil, I don't like dried seaweed; For example, the famous rice cake with two sides of yellow and ribs, although delicious, is not amazing. Other kinds of Chinese cakes, such as Chongming Cake, Youth League Cake and Begonia Cake, are not delicious because of the taste problems caused by regional differences. What surprised me in Shanghai were the following five delicacies: 1. Ruby cream cubes

2. Fried steamed buns

Do Shanghai call steamed buns steamed buns, steamed buns or steamed buns = _ =! 3, steamed buns

Every time I go to Yuyuan Garden/Chenghuang Temple, there are long queues at Nanxiang steamed buns shop, and when it rains, I will also hold umbrellas. The soul of eating food is burning ~ 4. Crab powder tofu pot

Although it doesn't look good, it tastes great! 5. Babao Duck

Babao Duck is a famous traditional dish in Shanghai, which I must order at every gathering in Shanghai. Because there is no regional difference, friends all over the world like Babao Duck very much. National day recommendation: hairy crabs

The delicious food in Shanghai is of course to go to places where time-honored brands gather. Because the famous food stalls around the time-honored Shanghai are equally famous, it is of course necessary to go to Yunnan Road, a famous food street in Shanghai, such as Jinling Restaurant and Laozhengxing Restaurant, to eat the best food in Shanghai. As long as your stomach can hold countless delicious foods, then you can eat with your stomach open. On the bustling streets of Yunnan Road in Shanghai, all kinds of snacks are fragrant. Here, you can eat Xiaojingling salted duck, rare ribs rice cake, Shaoxing boiled chicken, steamed buns and fried buns in Nanxiang and so on. Let you linger on Shanghai cuisine, and your mouth is fragrant.

after reading so many answers above, I think the answers from foreign friends account for the vast majority. As a native of Shanghai, I am the editor of the State Banquet, and I will answer the photography questions.

don't be angry with local friends in Shanghai!

based on my years of experience in food, I want to say that there is nothing particularly delicious in Shanghai. But there are some things that I really want to eat when I leave Shanghai for a while and come back.

let me correct the inaccuracies in the above answers!

First of all, as I pointed out, Deyuelou is not an old Suzhou restaurant. Ruby is definitely not the best West Point in Shanghai. Ruby's milk, the cream on the cube is sent out, which is far less delicious than the pure cream cake in memory. Pure cream cubes are almost impossible to buy now. As the first Sino-foreign cooperative bakery after the reform and opening up, Ruby is still prestigious among Shanghainese. But in terms of taste, it is not as delicious as the more traditional Harbin. It's far worse. But things in Harbin are very expensive because the price of raw materials is there. I recommend it. Any one is very good, and it is sold by weight.

Fresh food is the most delicious food in my childhood memory. The fresh smell in the basement will never be erased. However, in recent years, the reputation of Xianxian in the hearts of old Shanghai Koehler has plummeted. I also tried the yandang road branch by chance, and the taste was disgusting. To taste it, it is recommended to try your luck at the head office.

some old men, such as Dexing Pavilion, are actually ok. This is the national face. You have to make do with it. But a restaurant with a name like the old restaurant can forget it or not.

Shanghai local cuisine originated from alley dishes and was originally prepared for the working class. So there is no need to go to a big hotel, but many small restaurants still maintain the characteristics of this dish. Thick oil red sauce is not the theme of this dish. The real theme is to sort out good things with cheap and fresh local food materials.

Except for famous shops, in fact, Shanghai has mixed all kinds of delicious food from all over the world. Let's take our chances.

However, it is precisely because it blends the tastes of other places, especially because it is limited by the supply of local characteristic raw materials, so none of the foreign cuisines in Shanghai actually have a positive taste. Please forgive me a lot!

Shanghai's traditional food is delicious, and the imported food is just as good ~ Let's start with some traditional snacks in Amway ~

Address: No.1, Yarn Dyeing Lane, Zhaojialou Ancient Town, Shendu Highway, the best thing in Shanghai, the cream cube, is not one of them-Zhou Jun was full of longing for Shanghai when he was very young. Is this the reason? Just because I love reading. I remember reading the novels of Wang Anyi and Cheng Naishan, two authentic Shanghai female novelists, who recorded the life scenes of old Shanghainese in detail. I remember that the book described the yellow phoenix tree leaves on Kangning Road, the sea of people on the Bund, and the ruby cream cube. This is a daily afternoon tea snack for Shanghainese, and it is also the favorite habit of Lao Keller. In short, Zhou Jun swallowed his saliva and turned over the book. Later, as an adult, I went to Shanghai for meetings and business trips many times, admiring to sweep the streets, and I was late for the long-awaited cream cube. I felt that in Shanghai, the flashy imperial city, Xiaofang was the simplest spokesperson. The key point was that it was delicious, which made me remember it forever.

The cream cube, the most authentic of which is ruby, has been 3 years. Even now that any middle-aged woman can make fondant cakes, even though the Imperial Capital has flooded into the famous West Point from all over the world, the "Ruby" milk cube is still strong and stands still, which shows its charm and skill.

You know, Shanghainese are very exotic and picky. You have to do enough work to live in a room of several square meters. The so-called screw shell can do it well and understand it. Therefore, they are also very picky and persistent in eating. Eating West Point and having afternoon tea was a habit long before liberation, and people with average income felt it was common.

To talk about the origin of Ruby, we have to say that it is actually a Sino-British joint venture, and its founder is Mr. Guo Bingzhong, a famous British Chinese. How popular do you think he is? On October 12, 1986, the hat queen Elizabeth II visited China. Ruby Cake Shop made a three-layer cream cake for the queen. How authentic is their West Point? The queen mother didn't say it wasn't delicious.

After 3 years of operation, Ruby still keeps the tablecloth with red and white checks.

The taste of the cream cube is sweet without losing the milk fragrance. Cream is whipped cream, so it has no synthetic plastic taste, and it tastes like greasy fat when eaten in your mouth. However, it is not really greasy, nor does it have the cheap sweetness of sugar. That kind of softness makes you feel psychologically dependent, and the cake embryo is soft and there are pineapple granules, which is killing you. Moreover, the price is reasonable. You know, many cakes advertised as whipped cream have an opening of 68, and the number of small squares is 15 pieces per box. My God, it is definitely the conscience of the industry. At this time, it is appropriate to have a cup of coffee by hand, which is a little bitter and dissolves the natural sweetness.

The boiled chicken in Shaoxing, the salted duck in Jinling, the raw-fried steamed bread in Dahuchun, the rare rice cake with ribs, the crab powder tofu in Wangsha, the rich eight-treasure rice, the butterfly crisp in the international hotel, Commander Kai's Harding and Napoleon, the ruby cream cube, the small wonton in Shen Dacheng, the noodles and cakes with yellow noodles and eel paste on both sides, and the fresh meat moon cakes in the real old room ... There are really many delicious things in Shanghai, such as fried, thousands of buns, ribs and rice cakes, and so on. But there is one thing I like best, and that is dried. This dried gizzard is not vacuum-packed. It is packed in a small paper bag. Dried gizzard without juice is cut into pieces. It is moderately salty, tough and fragrant. I used to buy a pack every day when I went to Shanghai, but now I sell very little. Then I went to Shanghai and looked for it for a long time before I bought it in a food store opposite People's Square. Now I don't know if this store is still there!

There are many delicious foods in Shanghai, but I prefer pasta, such as crab noodles and yellow croaker noodles.

A grape ... seems to be Kyoho grape produced in the suburbs around Shanghai. I ate it ten years ago, not expensive, three or four yuan a catty. It's delicious. There are also Soviet-style moon cakes from Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. I didn't find anything else. Maybe I prefer seafood. My relatives in Shanghai went to Fuzhou and also said that there are many delicious things in Fuzhou, and seafood is delicious and cheaper than Shanghai. My relatives in Shanghai envy Fuzhou people for eating out as a common practice. Eating out in Shanghai is very expensive. But it's not expensive to cook at home and it tastes good.

1. The smoked fish and salted fish eaten in Shanghai Xiaonanguo are delicious, both of which are authentic Shanghai local dishes. The smoked fish is stingless, sweet and salty, and can be served with porridge or dishes. 2. Pickled fresh is a soup stewed with bamboo shoots, fresh pork belly and bacon. It is fresh and salty, and there are bamboo shoots in the soup that can relieve boredom; 3. Ding Taifeng's steamed buns have a variety of fillings, the taste is not the same as that of steamed buns in the north, the taste is refreshing and not greasy, and adding a lotus seed red bean paste is really delicious. No wonder many stars come to Ding Taifeng for dinner; 4. The glutinous rice balls next to Luxun Park have been reported by many TV stations. The crust is glutinous rice, and the stuffing is fried dough sticks. One * * * has two flavors: sweet and salty, and the sweet is white sugar and salty is pickles. This is an authentic snack in Shanghai. You can try it.
