In China, there are eight major cuisines such as Cantonese, Sichuan, Shanghai, Shangdong, Hunan, Fujian, Anhui, etc. I am familiar with Cantonese and Sichuan cuisines but what about Shanghai Cuisine?
Anyone can give me any idea of the typical Shanghai dishes besides the snacks like steamed duplings?

Shanghai Cuisine is not included in the eight major cuisines.

3. Hairy crab, steamed

4. smashed beans

5. Vegetarian chicken & duck. Soybean products

Now heres an idea. How about a Travel Guide Cookbook, have the programmers got enough space to cope with it. So different to Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding!
