Shanghai's Hidden Side: Local Food & Markets Explored

Hey! Join me exploring the hidden side of Shanghai to see what locals really eat. The day starts at a lively fresh market, wandering through colorful stalls, chatting with vendors, and discovering ingredients most tourists don’t see.

After we stroll through a local residential area and it gives a glimpse of everyday life away from the usual tourist spots. We get invited to cook alongside locals, learning traditional techniques, and having a lot of fun in the kitchen.

Along the way, some unique ice cream flavors are sampled, and I try mangosteen for the first time - surprisingly delicious! The night winds down with a walk around the bustling Bund and a late-night bowl of soup at a cozy restaurant near Nanjing Road.

Come along to explore Shanghai beyond the usual spots, taste incredible food, and meet the people who make this city so special.
