Shanghai Travel Thread

Every trip here two things I must eat, 小笼包 and 生煎包. The best I've found in Shanghai are found on the same street 黄河路. This street is very close to the 人民广场 or the city centre.
佳家汤包
Start with the seaweed egg soup
Crab meat and port 小笼包
Close up
Always have it with the ginger and vinegar
Just look at the juice inside - steam

One don't have to really only eat Shanghainese food while here as there are many other good restaurants here. Another one that I will not miss is Do Shui Dong 滴水洞 a Hunan restaurant found along Maoming Road very close to the Garden Hotel
Its always crowded with foreigners but the food is 100% authentic Hunan
I prefer Hunan over Szechuan because it does not contain the pepper that causes numbness. This is tu-gua with chili
My first time drinking white
Chinese wine 45% alcohol, waitress told me it blends very well with Hunan food
Packs a punch
Fried long beans with egg plant and dried ham, the ham is more to make it taste good so its very little ham
Sour beans are actually long beans soaked in fresh water and vinegar for like two days in a clay container then taken out to cook, very very delicious cannot miss this
Beef thinly sliced with chili - very very good
Braised pork - 毛家红烧肉
There are many other very good dishes but since I'm alone I couldn't even finish what I ordered, I will post the next time.
Cheers

You are quite right. Its like these two costs 78 RMB each, a few nights before I had this twice one was HK$298 the other HK$380 but they are really big and good taste.
Next trip to PVG, I will look you up. January 2015 likely.
I don't live in Shanghai la, just visiting only now back in Bangkok. But I used to live in Shanghai for a year about 10 years ago.
So did you consumed dog meat when you were there?
Dhey, I am against killing dogs for meat la.
the last time i was in shanghai, old men were picking used chopsticks from the dumpster and recycling them, and a couple was seen in an alley pushing a cart with a drum full of darkish recycled cooking oil. wondering now if that was gutter oil.

Yes esnd, its gutter indeed.
By the way ask any Chinese about gutter oil most will tell you they have stopped thinking about it and already assumed they are consuming it. Sad sial its like they've given up.
the street i was referring to was wujiang road, near the west nanjing road station. best, cheapest and most diverse street food scene in shanghai, with uigher halal food too.
unfortunately, now i realize the place and other street food places in shanghai are also well known for the use of recycled gutter oil. yikes!
