|
Shanghai cuisine is Central-Eastern Chinese food. Because of the city's
proximity to the ocean, major lakes, and rivers, this style is renowned
for superb preparation of both fresh and saltwater fish and mollusks.
The foods here are heavier than their Cantonese counterparts, and
are generally lightly spiced and relatively oily, and its sauces tend
to be rich and slightly sweet. There are both wheat and rice-based
dishes in Shanghai cuisine.
Popular choices from Eastern menus include fried prawns, Drunken
Chicken, steamed crab, and the peerless West Lake Vinegar Fish (a
whole carp, butterflied and lightly poached, smothered with minced
ginger and sweet and sour sauce). |
