Hello
This is Shanghai Feast
It rained so much all day today
That's right, it's actually still raining now
Yeah
The weather is really gloomy
We can't miss out because there's delicious food here
Yeah, they say
this place has
- one Michelin star! - Right
So let's go and
check if the food is really delicious
Yes, let's go
[Entrance with a large statue]
[Awarded continuously from 2021 to 2024]
This place not only has a
Michelin star
but also won a bunch of other awards
They even have
a waiting area here
Look, their slogan
is right there too
Old
Shanghai's taste
The decorations
looks vert old too
Watch up to here
There is a stage
Do they really perform here?
[Entering after 10-minute wait]
[Cannot order via app]
They say this drink
is free
if you leave a comment
on a Chinese app
they use
So we didn't order it
but they gave a lot
Right away
the first dish came out
It's fried shrimp
Actually
Um..
The portion is big than I thought
Well, always in Shanghai
the portions are quite large
but still
it's a lot indeed
The one I wanted to eat the most
It's just bibim noodles
Yeah, but really
the visual is really pretty
so I wanted to eat it
[Humming]
It's like a bit sweet shrimp
I’ve noticed since yesterday that Shanghai food
tends to be on the sweeter side overall
Right*2
Shrimp is also a bit on the sweet side, so
Did they put honey on it?
But this might be
[Serious]
dipped in egg
and fried
[Understood]
The yolk flavor is a bit strong
[Egg Meets Shrimp]
But the sweetness isn't
an unpleasant sweetness, but rather
a slightly sweet taste
Right
Perfect to eat
But
the sauce is really
abundant
I think I can even eat the shell
Hey, this noodle really looks
like nothing special
Just a soy sauce noodle
I wonder how it tastes
[On delivery]
I mean, there really seem to be
so many noodle dishes in Shanghai
Yeah
It feels like the variety comes from..
..what toppings...
..you put on the noodles
there are so many options
[Expectation]
Isn't it really chewy?
It's chewy
Among the noodles
we've tried
- this is the chewiest - Right*2
Noodles are great
The sauce is just a real soy sauce
with oil poured on top
but the noodles really have a good texture
Yeah, right in between that
the representative of Shanghai
food, right?
Here comes the "Sheng Jian Bao"
They’re buns
stuffed with pork
and loads of flavorful sauce
Here is fried rice
called soy sauce fried rice
That's the name
but inside there are shrimp and
I think there's some pork too
[Tasting]
[Close-up]
But it’s not like the broth spills out or anything
Ah~~
I don't think I need to poke a hole
[Skill backed off]
But it's really delicious
Because
the top has a soft
steamed dumpling skin
but the bottom is fried
It's really crispy, so
And inside, the meat is really
richly and fully packed in
It's made right away
so it's really warm
This is a dumpling you can see often in Shanghai
It's really delicious
[A bite]
Oops
Is it hot?
[Flustered]
I believed there was no broth
[Betrayal]
Ah, I shouldn't eat it right away
I guess we have to poke it a little
This is "Hong Shao Rou"
This is the really fatty part
of the pork
but it’s absolutely delicious
Look at this fatty part on top
it's almost half meat, half fat
We ordered one vegetable dish
and with this
it makes six dishes in total
First, I have to try the meat
[Chopstick cutting]
It's really soft when cutting
It's really half meat
and half fat
[Humming]
Wow, what's really amazing about this pork is that
when you usually eat pork
it inevitably has a bit of an off smell
but this one
seems to have almost no off smell at all
Plus, the harmony between
the fat and the lean meat
is so smooth that
it’s not greasy at all
and just incredibly light and flavorful!
There's also an egg
This egg, when you try this..
"Cha Ye-dan"
[Humming]
These eggs are
simmered for a really long time
and they go perfectly with the meat
add a bite of veggies, and it’s just the best combo
Especially since
I’m not usually a fan of
fatty pork parts
That’s why I usually trim off
the fat when eating pork belly
but this doesn’t have
that greasy smell
so
it’s easy to enjoy
Honestly, I don't know
what kind of vegetable this is
But it's delicious
It’s the taste of "Pak Choi"
Oh, really?
It's green in color but tastes like "Pak Choi"
Right
And another amazing thing is that
there's a lot of it
- Yeah - Even though it's vegetables
if you order this in Hong Kong
[Calculating]
They give you about ten pieces
[Despondent]
They rarely give you that much
Here, it's cheap and they give you a lot, even vegetables
[Relative Deprivation]
This is like soy sauce fried rice or something like that
I think it's that kind of dish
I'm really curious about the taste
since it's served in a stone pot
it's really fascinating
It's soy sauce, so it's basically salty
[Saltier soy sauce]
No
It's salty
but there's a slight sweetness at the end
I think this is the first time I've had fried rice like this
That's sweet too?
It's salty at first
but slightly sweet at the end
The smell is really strong
"Lap Cheong"
The Chinese dried sausage
So this is Lap Cheong
Lap Cheong and
soy sauce, oil
these three are the strongest
The sweetness comes from the Lap Cheong
[Mystery solved]
I've never been to Shanghai before
So, before coming here
I thought Shanghai, being a wealthy city
would have prices similar to Hong Kong
That's what I thought a lot
But when I came here
it seems much cheaper than Hong Kong
But dishes like these
feel about
not half but about..
30% cheaper
than
in Hong Kong
Plus, the portions are bigger
and the taste is amazing
So
it really made this trip a fun foodie adventure
In Shanghai, like this
we ate
kind of expensive food
the price is 225 CNY (43,359 KRW)
Right
That's about
- 40,000 KRW - It's about that
- A little less, right? - Yes
So it feels like we ate
expensive restaurant food very cheaply
- Yeah - So, it makes me feel very good
Right
It was also so delicious
Yeah
We spent our last night in Shanghai
having a such delicious food
So, I feel really good
We'll keep this foodie adventure going
with even more delicious travels ahead!
Yes
- Goodbye - Goodbye
