As one of the most prosperous cities in China, Shanghai has abundant resources and advantages in all aspects. However, one thing that is regrettable is that the food is not delicious. Although Shanghai has a lot of delicious food, it is indeed a bit inferior compared to other places.

First of all, the taste of Shanghainese food is generally sweet. Compared with dishes from other regions, the taste lacks layering and detail. Especially seasonal seafood, although very fresh, lacks unique seasoning and cooking methods. This has led many diners to feel that the seafood in Shanghai is also bland and lacks surprises.

Secondly, the snacks in Shanghai are not as diverse as other places. The iconic Xiaolongbao has been copied by various places, and the taste is not as good as before. As for the snack street on Nanjing Road, although there is a dazzling array of various snacks, there is still not much outstanding taste in terms of taste.

Although Shanghai cuisine has certain shortcomings, it also has delicacies with unique characteristics and advantages, such as local male crabs and pan-fried buns, as well as other snacks, such as meatloaf, gorgon roast, Nanxiang Xiao Long etc. No matter how much envy and quarrels there are outside, people in Shanghai always like their food because they have long been integrated into the city's life and culture.
