Plain Soup Noodle (Yang Chun Mian)

Plain soup noodle is a special snack of Shanghai. Like the other city dishes, it is cheap but not simple. The ingredients for plain soup noodle must be carefully selected. The soup must be boiled for a long time, and the noodles must be cooked for immediate consumption. Some slender green onion slices are added just before eating the soup.

Pai gu nian gao

"Pai gu nian gao" is a special snack of Shanghai. Its main ingredients are pork-chops and rice cakes. The chop is first pickled and then boiled with sauce, oil, sugar, ginger and wine for a short time. At the same time, the rice is beaten into a paste and then cut into small pieces. The pieces of rice cake are used to wrap the chop, which is then fried for a short time. The delicious dish combines the aroma of the chop and the crisp taste of the rice cake.

The two most famous restaurants selling "pai gu nian gao" are Xiao Chang Zhou and Xian De Lai. The first one is located on Dongchang Road in Pudong New District, and the second one is located on Yunnan Road.
