For dinner one evening, we decided to venture to Xiao Nan Guo for some Shanghainese food. We had some deep fried codfish paste ...
One of our favorite Shanghainese/Szechuan dishes - Ma Po Tofu ...
(Incidentally, I was pretty confused when I first came to Shanghai. I had heard repeatedly from the Shanghainese that Shanghainese cuisine is on the sweet side. They, apparently, like the Thais, added sugar to everything. But whenever we went to so-called Shanghainese restaurants, they were inevitably super spicy - more like Szechuan cuisine, with all the mouth-numbing chili oil. I later learnt that the Shanghainese were learning to love spicy food, and with the proximity of the Szechuan province, Shanghainese cuisine started to show this influence.)
