Shou Zhua Bing (Streetfood Pancakes) – Shanghai
You can get these at little stalls all over town, a variation on scallion pancakes that includes a fried egg and a slice of bacon, drizzled with a little sweet chili sauce. Shanghai breakfast, in its many forms.
Di Shui Dong – Shanghai
Shanghai spicy-food restaurant Di Shui Dong specializes in flavor-heavy Hunan food. The joint also doubles as an expat attraction, perhaps in part because the menu is a voluminous photo album full of peppers, cilantro, and chili oil (and therefore easy to order from), but also because it gets some good press in Shanghai’s foreigner lifestyle magazines. None of which really matters so long as the food is tasty.
