One of our searches led us to Wujiang Road which was described as the most popular snack district in Shanghai. Being the diligent foodies that we are,we felt that it was our obligation to check it out Posted by roxiao on May 16th,2010 jQuery(“document”).ready(function(){jQuery(‘#ngg-gallery-94-820′).galleryView({panel_width:600,panel_height:400,frame_width:40,frame_height:40,transition_interval:0,overlay_color:‘#222′,overlay_text_color:‘white’,caption_text_color:‘#222′,background_color:‘transparent’,border:‘none’,nav_theme:‘dark’,easing:‘easeInOutQuad’});});If you’re ever feeling a little Asian’d out like we were,Shanghai Centre is definitely a place you’d want to check out. It’s located near the intersection Nanjing Road West and the North South Highway. The complex is a huge building consisting of luxury hotels and apartment units. At the bottom is a mall,a theater,and plenty of food options. The two places we decided to check out were Element Fresh,a small chain specializing in western cuisine,and Paul,a French pastry shop. Posted by roxiao on May 16th,2010 The second stop on our trip was Shanghai. Amanda and I were completely on our own for this leg of the trip so we relied a little more heavily on travel guides and food sites to find the good eats here. Shanghai is all about the xiao long bao and seafood and we definitely made sure we got a fair share of both while we were here.
