Top 6 Shanghainese Restaurants In Shanghai
If you want to get technical, there is no Shanghainese food per se.
Rather, it s an amalgamation of
more established culinary traditions from surrounding areas, particularly Jiangsu and Zhejiang
provinces.
But there is a host of delicacies, ingredients and cooking styles that have been popular in
Shanghai for generations and, naturally, the Shanghainese have managed to put their own local
stamp on things.
For example, braising meats in a mixture of rice wine, sugar and soy sauce, a method known as red
braising , or hongshao, is particularly popular.
You can find anything from pork belly to sea eel
prepared as such.
Hairy crab is another famous delicacy.
Every autumn, millions gorge themselves on these seasonal
crustaceans.
Then there is Shanghai s specialty: dumplings.
Whether it s crispy, pillowy shengjian or
delicate soup filled xiaolongbao, they are a treat revered throughout the rest of the country.
