Baan Thai: Best Thai in Shanghai

by ellyse

This Thai restaurant is located at the intersection of Huaihai Zhonglu and Fuxing Zhonglu, opposite the trio of Charmant, Laifu Kitchen and Cotton Club. It's somewhat "hidden" as the restaurant is in a 2-storey house of its own. This is part of the charm of this restaurant -- in the warmer months, diners can sit at tables set up in the restaurant's own back garden.The lighting inside the restaurant is warm and relaxed. Ambience is particularly suitable if you're looking for a romantic night out, or organising a small gathering with close friends. The only little problem is when (like me, unfortunately) you encounter another rowdy, inconsiderate group who pay no heed to the fact that they don't own the whole restaurant, other diners wish they'd tone down a bit but to no avail!Price is a little above average, even for the lunch sets which are a bit more value-for-money. This isn't a...

Xiao Nan Guo Restaurant: Nice ambience in old hotel

by Sambawalk

There are many Xiao Nan Guo Restaurant in Shanghai, as it is a chain restaurant. The one I went was located in a very quiet and old hotel - Ruo Jing Hotel. The hotel building is European style. Be sure you pick this one for dinner. I have few local shanghaiese dishes and they are all good. See more pics for dishes.

Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant: Yu Yuan Bazaar's "Shang hai Famous Brand"

by RockyDaniels

This place is REALLY popular. Unfortunately, my best picture shows a bunch of non-Chinese at the service window. What it didn't show were the 100s of people lined up off to the right waiting to get the order in. In trying to figure out how long I'd have to wait in line, I noticed a stair way behind the stall that, when followed, led to the "on the floor" part of the restaurant. By waiting for 10 minutes, I got to sit down at a full service restaurant serving the same steamed buns as the stall on the ground floor. I also figured out (too late) that you could request a window seat overlooking the pond at the center of the bazaar... something to keep in mind next time I visit. Regardless of the table location, you want to order at least 2 different baskets per person at a table. The Chinese tend to order a lot of different items to share and this seems like the best way to go. At this...

Baxianlou: Fairly Fantastic Food

by ellyse

The name of the restaurant means "Eight Fairies Hall". Whether there're fairies here or not remains to be seen, but the Shanghainese food here is certainly very authentic and tasty! Locals say that this is one of the best restaurants in Zhujiajiao, and after eating here, I'd agree.The restaurant entrance is unassuming (you'll have to recognise the Chinese characters, or ask for directions). Once you enter, the 1st floor is a long corridor leading to the kitchen area. Just before the kitchen door, go up the stairs to your right and you'll find a dining room with about 6-8 tables.The menu is only in Chinese and I believe the staff might also only speak Chinese, so hopefully you have someone with you who understands the lingo!Tea and hot water are provided for free, a lifesaver on a cold winter evening. Dinnertime starts at around 1630, we were the earliest diners on that evening.Portions...

Xiao Tian: Zhujiajiao Granny's Dumplings

by ellyse

There're so many Granny's Dumplings in Zhujiajiao, you'll be spoilt for choice. This traditional snack has become a tourist commodity -- everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and saying that theirs is the oldest, tastiest, most traditional, most famous... whatever!Anywhere you look, there'll be the namesake "granny" sitting prominently in the storefront, making her dumplings while chit-chatting away with the staff and any other people who happen to be in the vicinity. Almost every store will have the obligatory photos plastered all over the place, proudly announcing that they were interviewed by some TV programme or magazine, etc. Or perhaps they just did some nifty Photoshopping... ;)This particular one that I've picked out is the tastiest one going by what locals say. Don't get sidetracked by all the fancy packaging on the various stores, just remember the address and street...

Nanxiang Xiaolongbao Where They Belong

by ellyse

Countless restaurants, all serving the local specialty of Nanxiang xiaolongbao (little steamer dumplings), line the street outside the south gate of Guyi Garden. I didn't find any that particularly stood out. Restaurants were typically local (no English signs or menus), simple and down-to-earth. Many restaurants also have a takeaway gift option. Prices are cheap especially when compared to downtown Shanghai. Xiaolongbao is THE thing to eat here. The xiaolongbao have a paper-thin skin made of white flour, filled with tender pork filling (I prefer the ones mixed with crabmeat and/or crab roe) and fragrant soup.Make sure you don't waste the steaming soup inside the xiaolongbao. "Up-end" the xiaolongbao using the chopsticks and push it onto the spoon. Dip it in the ginger and vinegar/soy sauce if you so prefer. Bite a small hole to let the soup cool a bit before you suck the soup out, not...

South Beauty: Sichuan/Shanghainese/Cantonese food (Bund view)

by ellyse

On the 10th floor of Super Brand Mall in Pudong with a view of the Bund. Good food and adequate service. Minimum expenditure 200 RMB/person, not including drinks and alcohol. - Beef cooked with stones in hot oil (jiang1 shi2 gun3 fei2 niu2)- Spicy prawns (hu2 la4 xia1)- Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish (song1 shu3 gui4 yu2)- Spicy chicken pieces (ge1 le4 shan1 la4 zi ji1, the best I've tasted for this dish)

Nanxiang Mantou Dian: Shanghai's Namesake Xiaolongbao

by ellyse

Shanghai's namesake xiaolongbao are the main draw of this famous old restaurant. However other Shanghainese dimsum are also very popular and most importantly, yummy!There're 4 sections to the restaurant, listed here as no.1 to 4, from cheapest to most expensive.No.1 is the takeaway window downstairs beside the 9-Zigzag Bridge, which ALWAYS has a long queue snaking from it -- the only differences I've seen would be the length of the queue! The only things available here are the most basic pork xiaolongbao.Go up the staircase and you'll find the next section on your left. No.2 is basically the same fare as no.1, but with some extras eg a seat at a table. Be prepared to breathe down someone's neck in order to get a seat. Don't be shy, there'll be other customers doing the same to you once you get a seat. I think the xiaolongbao here cost about 15 RMB for 8.From the same staircase, turn...

The Story: Best Pizza and Pasta Near Fudan University

by ellyse

This little cafe-like restaurant has only about 4 tables -- actually, I hardly ever see any more than 2-3 tables occupied at any one time. Since the food is really good, I can only imagine that they're doing a roaring delivery business, especially since they're located a stone's throw away from Fudan University's international student dorms.In any case, this is a wonderful choice if you're looking for a cosy spot to chat with friends. The mainstays here are pizza and pasta.Pizza comes in 3 sizes: 10, 12 and 14 inches. I usually get the 12-inch pizza for 48 RMB (this will feed 2, or 3 if you're not very hungry), and can be split into 2 toppings with no extra charge. As for the crust, you can get the usual pan pizza crust or the crispy thin crust, of which I prefer the former. For toppings, I like pepperoni, Korean bulgogi and spicy chicken.Pastas also come in 3 varieties (cream, tomato...

Ding Tai Fung: Xiaolongbao... Taiwanese-style

by ellyse

This is the 4th xiaolongbao restaurant that I'm writing about. -yawn- Not again, you say!Ding Tai Fung is world-famous for their xiaolongbao and other Taiwanese-style dimsum. Not to be confused with the local xiaolongbao, these xiaolongbao are rather "mini", though the skin and soup filling are certainly no less succulent and tasty in their own way.The restaurant, which originated in Taipei, has 5 outlets in Shanghai. Other cities in China which have outlets are Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The most traveller-accessible outlets in Shanghai are the ones at Xintiandi (in the big glass plaza), in the spanking new Shanghai World Financial Centre (at Lujiazui, also nicknamed the "bottle-opener") and in Super Brand Mall (also at Lujiazui, huge mall beside Oriental Pearl TV Tower). Xiaolongbao here come with a variety of fillings such as pork, pork+shrimp, pork+vegetables etc.I...
