🌊 What You’ll Taste and Discover Along the Way
We’ll guide you through the backstreets where locals eat every morning—and share the history, nostalgia, and flavor behind every bite.
✅ Egg Pancakes & Rice Sweets
Step into a breakfast shop from 1875. Sweet, sticky rice cakes. Soy milk in a porcelain cup on the iconic Nanjing Road.
✅ Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) with Crab Roe
A Shanghai must try! Xiao long bao, soup dumplings, are world renowned. Try these fresh, handmade dumplings and see what the hype is all about. Plus: fried breaded pork chops dipped in black vinegar & tiny wontons the locals swear by.
✅ Shengjian Rivalry
Learn the proper technique to tackle these soup filled pan-fried buns (that doesn’t involve covering yourself or an unlucky neighbour in hot soup!). Served with glass noodle soup and the inside scoop on Shanghai’s favorite breakfast debate.
✅ Scallion Pancake Stop
A Chinese street food staple, golden and fragrant. You’ve seen them—but have you ever tried one hot from the pan?
✅ Traditional Milk Dessert (Est. 1851)
Traditional Chinese desserts and Chinese tea. Dessert for breakfast? Always.
✅ People’s Square
Once a racecourse, now a park full of weekend matchmaking, dance rehearsals, and quiet revolution.
✅ Suzhou Creek Skyline Spot
The best view of Pudong that no one talks about for the best photo opportunities.
✅ The Bund, Reimagined
Discover the stories and buildings that make up the magnificent Bund and what it means to this city. And how breakfast helped build it.
🎁 Bonus: You'll take home a small surprise gift!
