✈️ Shanghai 'Magic City' Food: The Hits, The Misses & The 'Seriously, WTF?!' (Eats & Drinks - Pt. 1)

I recommend Jiang Zhanggui's Old Shanghai Pork Rib Rice Cakes. They're way better than Xian De Lai's!

[Orville Conroy]

I'll definitely go next time!

The butterfly pastries at the International Hotel haven't been 25 for ages. Was this posted this year?

[Elaine Boyle PhD]

Yeah, I bought mine for 25.

[Dr. Ruben Larkin MD]

For pork rib rice cakes, I recommend the little stall at the corner of Shouning Road and Renmin Road. They're only open for lunch, there's always a line, and they're a hundred times better than Xian De Lai!

[Kristi Doyle]

Okay! I'll go next time.

For Shen Da Cheng, you should get the fresh, individually sold ones on Nanjing Road, not the pre-packaged boxes. They taste completely different~

[Katrina Ziemann]

Exactly!! The boxed ones and the fresh ones are totally different~~ The fresh ones from Nanjing Road are delicious, and they have a really short shelf life too.

[Pamela Miller]

Do you need a reservation for Yu Xing Ji?

[Howard Legros]

Nope, you can just go directly.

[Dr. Wade Boyer]

I just wanted to know, do you need a COVID test to go to Shanghai now?

[Jose Beahan]

Why go to Shanghai to drink Heytea, hahaha? Heytea is from Guangdong!

[Roosevelt Reynolds]

Hahaha, just felt like having some.

[Sylvia Franecki]

Hi! Where are these butterfly pastries located? I've been looking for ages and can't find them. Please reply!! I'm still in Shanghai.

[Joseph Thompson]

Check my other post, I shared the location there.

[Lula Schmidt]

Checked out Lai Lai Xiao Long Bao today, it was really delicious!

[Jeremiah Stamm-Carroll]

Hehe, I can't stop thinking about it!
