Old style Shanghainese dinner with my Shanghai root stock uncle-in-law doing the ordering. He chose his favorites.
Shanghai Light Stir Fry Shrimp
”Preserved” Duck in Sauce
Duck is cured, steamed then sauced.
Smoked Fish Shanghainese
“Smoked” is the menu description. More like deep fried.
Tofu with Crab Roe and Crab Butter
‘Tis the season
Dau Miu (pea sprouts)
Young and tender. Chef had a light hand with soy and flavoring. Tad heavy with the oil, Shanghai style.
Old Vinegar Jellyfish Head
Quite good. Snappy.
Braised Wheat Gluten
Wood Ear and Peanuts
A simple comfortable meal in Shanghai.
