Experience the rich, sweet flavours of Shanghainese cuisine in Hong Kong.

Shanghai does not have a definitive cuisine of its own, but refines those of the surrounding provinces. Its flavours are heavier and oilier than Cantonese cuisine, featuring preserved vegetables, pickles and salted meats. Lime-and-ginger-flavoured '1,000-year-old' eggs are perhaps Shanghai's best-known culinary creation. Beggar's Chicken is a legendary dish wrapped in lotus leaves, covered in clay and oven-fired to steamy, tasty perfection - in olden times, it was baked in the ground. Other popular dishes include hairy crab, 'eight treasure' duck, 'drunken' chicken, braised eel and yellow fish. Dumplings, breads and noodles are served more often than rice.
