the street i was referring to was wujiang road, near the west nanjing road station. best, cheapest and most diverse street food scene in shanghai, with uigher halal food too.

unfortunately, now i realize the place and other street food places in shanghai are also well known for the use of recycled gutter oil. yikes! :eek:

Actually the most happening food street in Shanghai is not far from that Wujiang Road, its called Yunnan Road or 云南美食街. Here too you find lots of uighur muslim and xinjiang food and the most popular is their delicious bbq lamb skewer 羊肉串, but one should not bet its real lamb as cat meat is often known to be a substitute making it taste better.

Some scenes of Shanghai's Huai Hai Road











This is the Hermes building






Roadside shoe seller (imitation of course)


This type of shop is everywhere in China, seems like PRCs love to eat this




They've got like a dozen different flavors of duck neck

Have to queue every time






Pork and crab meat xiaolongbao - 12 pcs 27RMB


These are larger crab meat xiaolongbao - 12pcs 99RMB






Soup seaweed and egg


Too bad too full and not enough time to have another of my favourites

wow shiok! qongqing la zhi chi (fried chilli chicken) - my favorite! :eek:

Have to say have many shiok food but it all comes down to bloody gutter oil. What the hell got to learn from the PRCs and that is - simply assume that you are eating gutter oil, then you won't have to think so much.

yes, sometimes deep fried spicy food is better with recycled "preowned" oil.
