I admit that we (the hubby and I) have been a little 'over the moon' with our chinese food cravings lately and yes I am expecting to gain a few pounds by eating so much but this is what we do! Plus, I am sacrificing my pounds for you! Ok, fine...I'm moving on. Shanghainese food is a delicacy. Please do not compare this type of food to a Panda fast-food joint. There are lots of different types of 'Hot Pots' in Shanghainese food. Some dry hot pot dishes would include Stewed Beef Casserole (oh so tender!), Chili Pepper Eggplant with Chicken & Basil, Fish Filets marinated with Black Bean Garlic Sauce etc. We happen to get Stewed Beef Tendon Hot Pot with Peppers & Onions. Dam, was that yummy!








Steamed Dumplings are a staple in Shanghai. It's what the Shanghainese live on. You can choose from soupy pork dumplings (be careful when you take your first bite! The piping hot broth might explode and burn the roof of your mouth!) or vegetarian steamed dumplings which consist of tofu, clear noodles, mushrooms, mustard greens & onions). The traditional dipping sauce for Shanghainese dumplings is dark vinegar w/ ginger strips. Simple as that. Can you beat $5.95 per order? I think not!










Soupy hot pots are cooked for hours resulting in a savory thick broth. The Shanghainese love their soups! The traditional hot pot consists of meatballs, veggies, egg dumplings, shrimp and vermicelli noodles are added right before serving. The hot pot is a sure fire way to feeling warm and fuzzy and is the ultimate comfort food to tie you over on a cold night. This hot pot cost us a whopping $8.95 and it serves 6 ppl! Choose between Lion's Head Hot Pot (Meatballs) or Combination Meat & Seafood Hot Pot. Incredible value.










The old school Shanghainese know how to make crispy noodles. The 'Double-Sided Fried Noodles' are da bomb. We splurged and got the Whole Crab w/ Meat & Veggies Double Sided Fried Noodles. The dish was a whopping $20.95 b/c of the fresh crab (not fake crab) and it was DELICIOUS. Both sides of the noodles were DEEP FRIED to a crispy tee - which is hard to find at a restaurant. Most of the time they do a half-ass job and we find our double-sided noodles to be soggy & greasy. Make sure you order this dish when you have over 4 people dining b/c it is a HUGE DISH of noodles! Another 5 stars for New Shanghai!
