Eating Shanghai one market stall at a time

Based in Shanghai (Jing'an).

Shanghai-born, she maps the city by its wet markets and breakfast carts, from the cong you bing stalls near Jing'an Temple to the crab-season kitchens out in Qibao. She reviews restaurants only after at least two visits and keeps a running list of places that have quietly swapped chefs.
