Features: Shanghai cuisine is like the people of Shanghai—it becomes more exquisite in the finer details. Therefore, the most noteworthy aspects of Shanghai cuisine are undoubtedly its small dishes, such as cold salads and stir-fried shrimp. Larger dishes include steamed fish and stir-fried lettuce hearts. Soups are often small, like chive soup or duck blood soup, served in small bowls. You eat them in small portions, one bite at a time, and sometimes you can even taste a hint of the Shikumen (stone gate) flavor. Regardless, those who enjoy light and delicate flavors are sure to appreciate Shanghai cuisine.
