As a northerner, I actually feel ordinary about many classic snacks in Shanghai.

For example, the famous kai yang Noodles with Scallion Oil, I don't like dried seaweed;

For example, the famous rice cake with two sides of yellow and ribs is delicious, but it is not amazing.

Other kinds of Chinese cakes, such as Chongming Cake, Qingtuan Cake and Begonia Cake, are not delicious because of the taste problems caused by regional differences.

I was amazed by the following five delicacies in Shanghai: 1. Ruby cream cubes

It is said that they have been popular in Shanghai for more than 21 years, and Shanghai locals have to queue up to buy them every day.

Although it's just a fresh milk cake with a very ordinary shape, it's made of very authentic materials. The milk fragrance is pure and rich, not greasy, refreshing and sweet, and never tires of eating for free.

Ruby West Point House is also an old brand in Shanghai. The first store was officially opened in 1987, and there are branches in many places in Shanghai.

You can combine your travel plan, look for rubies near the scenic spots and buy a small cube of cream to taste.

Ruby chestnut cake is also highly recommended. 2, fried steamed buns

Shanghai called steamed buns, steamed buns or steamed buns!

It's really delicious. When my cousin came to Shanghai, we went to a fried shop near Jing 'an Temple. We ordered curry beef vermicelli soup, signature fried, yellow croaker fried, crab powder fried, classic fried and Xiaochao, which was delicious.

My favorite part is the fried dough covered with gravy, which has a layered taste ~

Besides, it is available in many stores, so it is perfect to make breakfast. 3, steamed buns

Every time I go to Yuyuan Garden/Chenghuang Temple, there are long queues at Nanxiang Steamed Bread Shop, and when it rains, I will also hold umbrellas. The soul of eating goods is burning ~

transparent skin, tender meat stuffing, and hot gravy is my favorite! The essence of a steamed bun is in the gravy. It's best to go with Shanghai rice vinegar, which will taste better.

note: when eating a small cage, you need to take a small bite on the skin first, then slowly suck out the gravy, and then eat the meat, otherwise you will be scalded by the gravy. 4, crab powder tofu pot

Although it doesn't look very good, it tastes great!

The crab roe is rich in flavor, the tofu is greasy in taste, and the radish is refreshing and chewy.

This dish is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, which surprises me more than Babao Chili sauce and oily eel paste. 5. Babao Duck

Babao Duck is a famous traditional dish in Shanghai, and I must order at every gathering in Shanghai. Because there is no regional difference, friends all over the world like Babao Duck very much.

The duck is stuffed with auxiliary materials such as diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, diced ham, diced chestnuts, glutinous rice, etc. In the steaming process, not only the duck meat is crispy, but also the oil in the duck meat penetrates into the auxiliary materials, and the tastes complement each other and are seamless.
