Eating: Xīnjí Shì (新吉士)
Shanghai, CHINA — Lunch at a restaurant serving Shanghai cuisine
Grandma’s Red Braised Pork Belly (外婆红烧肉, Wàipó Hóng Shāo ròu) — The flavor was right, it looked perfect, but it didn’t fall apart, melt in my mouth, or make me believe I’d died and gone to heaven.
Glutinous Rice Stuffed Jujubes (糯米红枣, Nuò Mǐ Hóng Zǎo) — These had to be my favorite. Slightly sweet with chewy fun stuffing. If you like mochi and dates, this might appeal to you.
Salt and Pepper Crab (膏蟹, Gāo Xiè) — I could eat anything battered and fried like this.
