Qiqi Egg Pancakes (琦琦蛋饼(上南店)- Next up for egg pancakes, and these were superb. Hui Jie Lobster (辉姐龙虾) - Crayfish, or crawfish, are extremely popular in China and we had four different ways, some of them spicy filled with mala, and the Shanghai version was marinated in sweet wine. Xiao Yangzhou Specialty Scallion Pancakes (小扬州特色葱油饼) - Scallion oil pancakes are a legendary Chinese street food, and something you have to try in Shanghai, China. Lantern Wonton (灯笼馄饨(奉贤路店)- Next up on this Chinese food tour in Shanghai we stopped to have a bowl of wonton dumplings. Aunt Huang’s Dumplings (黄阿姨锅贴大王) - Also known as go-tie, these pan fried dumplings are insanely tasty. Yongxing Restaurant (永兴餐厅) - Along with all the street food, we headed to Yongxing Restaurant (永兴餐厅), a legendary Shanghainese restaurant.
