Newest Shanghai Food Tour! THE EXPERIENCE Our Old Shanghai food tour will take you away from the Bund and the regular tourist path to immerse yourself in local Shanghainese culture and cuisine. Our tour commences near Peoples Square, from there we will weave through the backstreets of Old Shanghai and eat in traditional restaurants. Along the way we will pass some of the last remaining 'Laneway' housing in Shanghai, as well as seeing a vibrant restaurant street where Chinese minorities from Xinjiang and Gansu provinces sell their local cuisines. This is more than just a foodie tour, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of old Shanghai. THE FOOD Our old Shanghai foodie tour focuses on traditional Shanghainese cuisine. Taste authentic Sheng Jian Bao and Xiao Long Bao and much more. There is a huge amount of food on this tour, so expect to go home stuffed. So what can you eat? Xiao Long Bao: These dumplings are made with a thin skin of dough and stuffed with a seasoned minced pork. When steamed in a bamboo steamer, the pork should produce a tasting broth which is sealed inside the thin delicate wrapping. Sheng Jian Bao (Pan fried dumplings): Another famous Shanghainese snack food, these dumplings are pan fried with a doughy exterier and a meat and soup filling. Less well known than Xiao Long Bao, but possibly more delicious. Xie Ke Huang (Crab shell pastry): Crab Shell Pastry is a Shanghai speciality. The crust is meant to look like a crab shell, although we cannot see it. Fillings include green onions, pork, crab meat, shrimps, mashed beans and sugar. Chang Shou Mian (Longevity Noodles): Traditional handmade Shanghainese wheat noodles served in a clean meat based soup. The recipe for these extra long noodles was passed down from a former royal chef! Stir Fry Bull Frog: Bull frog stir fried with green pepper. An exceptionally popular local meal.
