   Born and raised in Shanghai, he has traveled all over China in 2014 seeking for adventure. Wondering between wild countryside and city convenience, he loves local cuisine and outdoor sports. As an experienced traveler, he came up an idea to organize food trips for people curious about Shanghai’s best local food.

Ready ?

Go !

  This interesting dinner tour starts from the Nanjing East metro station. 

  We'll first try some typical Shanghainese dishes which tend to be sweeter and oilier than in other parts of China, including famous lion's head meatball, stir fried rice cake and crispy spring rolls, etc. Don't eat too much, because we have other arrangement.

  

  Locals call them Benbangcai referring to authentic Shanghai home-style cooking.

    

  Walking along the street to digest the food, we will go to the most important stop of our trip--HaiDiLao Hot Pot, a ridiculously popular recent transplant from Sichuan. HaiDiLao offers an extensive sauce dipping bar where you can make your dipping sauce with minced garlic, chives, chili oil, cilantro or scallion. After that you can mix your own sauce to dip with beef ,lamb ,mutton ,shrimp skewers or veggies like shiitake mushroom, sliced lotus, spinach or potatoes. Try to find your limit of spice tolerance from non spicy soup to ultra spicy one with Sichuan peppercorn .

  What's more, you can also appreciate traditional performances there.

 

WOW~ Can't wait to eat !!!

Don't think! Drop everything and come!
