While in NYC this past weekend I went with my friend Roberta Tsang to try out some authentic-tasting Shanghai cuisine. I'm always up for experiencing new kinds of food so we headed to a restaurant on Bayard Street, called
Shanghai Cuisine.
When eating meat out, it's important to ask for the source, but my friend strongly recommended the Shanghai pork soup dumplings, so I made an exception. Well, they were delicious - gravy inside made it a wonderful new experience - and the dough was thin, which is usually hard to achieve.
Also tried the fried rice cakes and "mock duck", thin dried bean curd wrapped around fermented vegetables (i.e., natural probiotics); which was light and tasty. However, the standout for me was the pea shoot green tips - the freshest tasting thing we ordered - which had authentic Asian sesame flavor that will make me want to seek out greens at the local farmers market and cook them at home. Price: about $30 for two people (no drinks).
