The Shanghai breakfast ritual flowing from congyoubing (scallion pancake), doujiang (soy milk), youtiao (fried dough stick) to shengjian, in the old town and old French Concession. Centered on queued-for old-timers, a 7-a.m. start is key.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    A Da Scallion Pancake阿大葱油饼

    25 min stay

    A legendary scallion-pancake shop where one grandfather baked all his life, even reaching the BBC. Lard and scallions layered and baked, crisp outside and soft within. Early morning a must for the queue.

    Tao Yuan Juan Cun桃园眷村

    Cafe · Restaurant · 35 min stay

    A breakfast specialist where you can eat doujiang, youtiao and fantuan (rice balls) cleanly while seated. A tidy 'four kings' breakfast for those put off by street stalls.

    Da Hu Chun大壶春

    Dumplings · 25 min stay

    Unlike Yang's 'soupy type,' an authentic 'solid' (shixin) shengjian with thick dough and little juice. Confirm the difference between the two shengjian schools in the morning.
