Nanxiang Steamed Buns, Shanghai Featured Food
A notable Shanghai delicacy is the xiao long bao, sometimes known as Shanghai Dumplings in English-speaking countries Xiao Long Bao, or "small steamer bun" (literally translated) as mentioned above, is a type of steamed bun that is filled with pork (most commonly found) or minced crab, and soup. Although it appears delicate, a good xiao long bao is able to hold in the soup until the xiao long bao is bitten. They are steamed in bamboo baskets and served with vinegar and in some places, shredded ginger. A common way of eating the Xiao Long Bao is to bite the top off, suck all the soup, then dipping it in vinegar before eating.


Chinese mitten crab (Da Zha Xie  ), a kind of crab found in the Yangcheng Lake is another dish you are going to eat in Shanghai. It is normally consumed in September and October in every year, just the time you may travel in Shanghai right, perfect for you.
Seafood is more about the fresh tast, thus the crabs are made by a simple way, tied with ropes or strings, placed in bamboo containers, steamed and served.
                        

Pork rib with rice cake (桂花年糕猪骨) has different ways to cook in the south part of China, while usually sweet osmanthus will be added  to make this dish more tasty. Shanghai people likes to eat light and sweet food, foreigners from America may like Shanghai food.
