    Pan-fried dumplings with black sesame seeds on top is a Shanghai specialty. This place is very famous! While you're in line, some one would take your order. You find a table upstairs and a waiter would take a look at your order and bring you the food.

    The dumplings are not bad. However, you'll find better ones in Taipei, New York or Hong Kong.

    If this place does not appeal, Wujiang Street is chock-a-block with other restaurant/street food choices.

    It is dry noodles. Locate in front of the entrace of Xiayang market (Russia Market).

    I like it but not sure if you all will like it. It's only 5 yuan. you can try and tell me if it is good.

    We were just walking the streets of Shanghai near Nanjing Road. Everything around there seems to close at around 10 P.M. Even KFC, Pizza Hut and MCDonalds were closed, so we hit the smaller alleys in search of food. There we found this little 24 hr fast food joint. No tourists of course. We got us a couple of spring rolls and some meat skewers. And a couple of beers. Very cheap food, I think we paid around RMB 50 for the whole meal.

    Skewers and spring rolls. Or spwwwwing Wohhs. Very tasty and cheap. Steaming hot so you needn't worry about stomach trouble.

    somewhere in the New Old Town of Shanghai we came across this huge place with dozens of food stalls, tables and chairs. It was not so easy to decide, what to take, but finally we made our choice!

    Lots of fun in there!!! And if you don't find exactly this place, there are so many in that area!

    Hidden inside these street-side steamers is a delicous bread like steamed dumpling filled with all kinds of meat and vegetables. A very yummy inexpensive snack!

    Eating on the street - of course, I tried to be reasonably careful, but it's so much fun to taste all those snacks :-)

    Dumplings - because they usually taste like one would expect them to, but may surprise sometimes

    This might be cheating, but my favorite restaurant was an Italian restaurant near the French concession. It must have been because we'd been in Beijing for two months and had made sure we ate nothing but what the locals ate, but we splurged at this Italian place - had wonderful pasta (real pasta, not the Chinese-made Italian food), several bottles of GOOD wine, dessert, the works. It was basically a big food orgy but I think we deserved it after having eaten snails and everything else we tried there. Best dinner ever!
    Umm otherwise try the big food market and get the hairy crabs or snails (that's what I'm eating in this picture - wouldn't you rather be eating pasta in pesto sauce?)

    New york has it's Hot dog and pretzel stands. Shanghai favorites seem to be corn on the cob, brown tofu, and you'd also see brown eggs very frequently. The eggs and tofu gave out distinctive odors that must be a welcoming treat for someone. Also high on the list for street food was meat kebabs with a spicy Indian type seasoning and octopus kebabs that each time I smelled them I could not understand what the attraction would be. Be I was definitely in the minority since all these treats were selling everywhere.

    This was one of my favorite treats in Shanghai. It is a skewer with fruits such as strawberries, kiwis, oranges, pineapple etc. Coated with a clear hard shell of sweet candy. Much like a candy apple . Lovely to look at and eat.
