In China, there are eight major cuisines such as Cantonese, Sichuan, Shanghai, Shangdong, Hunan, Fujian, Anhui, etc. I am familiar with Cantonese and Sichuan cuisines but what about Shanghai Cuisine?
Anyone can give me any idea of the typical Shanghai dishes besides the snacks like steamed duplings? Jeff

over the years Shanghai has become a city that excels at bringing together many different kinds of cuisine. This wonderfully modern and fashionable city has excellent European Continental cuisine in stylish restaurants such as "M" on the Bund and French, German and American cuisine are widely available here. There are a couple of excellent Indian restaurants in the Tandoor and Hazara. Italian, Indian, Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese and even Brazilian and Cajun cuisine are also on offer here and the style and decor in many of the city's best places such as Face and Ali YYs, is beautiful and unique. Some of the best and most interesting culinary offerings one can find in Shanghai include: Local River Crabs, Vegetarian Steamed Buns, Chicken and Duck Blood Soup, and Niangao with Spare Ribs.
