牛肉生煎馒头

Why we love it: What could be better than the already loved steamed boazi? A fried one, of course. And in a city that likes to fry, it is no wonder these are a perfect Shanghainese snack. Filled with succulent halal beef, they are outrageously delicious.
为啥受欢迎：有啥会比从热气腾腾的蒸笼里拿出来的馒头更加好吃的？当然是生煎馒头了。油炸食品在上海非常受欢迎，也怪不得生煎馒头在马路上到处“撑大王”。生煎馒头里面再用清真牛肉做芯子，格外得可口多汁。

Where to get it: These are served up just outside the mosque on Changde Lu during the street’s Friday Muslim Market for just RMB 1. But be warned, they sell out well before the one o’clock prayer service.
到哪里去寻： 就在常德路的清真寺外头，这条马路每个礼拜五都有穆斯林集市，那时候就有卖，每个1块钱。需要提醒的是：牛肉生煎馒头销路很好，下午1点祷告仪式结束前就会卖完。位于宜昌路和澳门路之间的常德路。

 

马路面条

Why we love it: These are the single best way to soak up some liquid from a hard night out (RMB 4). Maybe it’s the MSG or the high sodium, but whatever the reason, these bowls of made-to-order noodles are addictively tasty.
为啥受欢迎：在外面派对了一晚上以后，要是想吃点带汤的东西这就是最好选择了（价格在4块钱左右）。也讲不清什么原因，可能是盐和味精的关系吧，反正这种现点现做的面条吃起来就是交关有味道。

Where to get it: We think the best ones during the daylight hours are just outside the front gates of East China Normal University. And we're willing to bet that every student there agrees.
到哪里去寻：在白天，最好吃的马路面条一定是华东师范大学正门外的摊头，而且我们敢说那里的每个学生都会认可这个说法。

小杨生煎

Why we love it: While the original post of Yang’s has closed, they are still frying the best shengjian in town at their second location down the block. RMB 4.5 gets you four fried, greasy, and scallion scattered dumplings. There’s never a bad time to eat this snack.
为啥受欢迎：小杨生煎的老店已经关门了，但他们在不远处的马路上又新开了一家，我们仍然可以在那里买到号称上海最好吃的生煎馒头。花4块5角钱，买4个洒满葱花的油嫩生煎馒头。这种小吃可是啥辰光都可以享用的啊！

Where to get it: The cleaner version of the once authentic Wujiang Lu stall has moved further west on the same road. Although now in a mall, the new Yang’s will not disappoint -- and they have the crowds to prove it.
到哪里去寻：原来那个正宗的小杨生煎在吴江路东段，现在还是在同一马路上，不过往西挪了些。尽管新店开在一个商场里头，但是杨家人并没有感到失望，侬数数店里的人头就知道了。

烘山芋

Why we love it: Sweet, fluffy, and fibrous, these steamed sweet potatoes are a nice contrast to most Shanghai cheap eats. Usually sold out of a pushcart until summer, they are one of the healthiest snacks in town.
为啥受欢迎：甘甜、松软、富含纤维，烘山芋是上海小吃当中的一个另类。烘山芋是这个城市里最健康的小吃之一，它们一般在冬天被放在手推车里贩卖。

Where to get it: We ran into a vendor pushing her carton Dongping Lu. “I go wherever the crowd is," she told us. So our advice is to find a crowd, and try and track down this RMB 3-7 (based on weight) snack.
到哪里去寻：我们在东平路上碰到了一个卖烘山芋的小贩。“哪里人多，我就去哪儿。”她告诉我们。所以，馋痨的朋友可以到人多的地方去搜寻。根据重量不同，烘山芋的价钱大概在3块到7块钱一个。

牛肉拉面

Why we love it: Bowls of beef noodle soup are full meals in themselves. Boasting braised slices, cubes, or minced pieces of beef, this soup is Chinese comfort food at its best. The ones here run around RMB 7-8.50.
为啥受欢迎：一大碗牛肉拉面本身就已经是一份正餐。牛肉拉面里头有牛肉片、牛肉块或者牛肉粒，汤老鲜的，是中国最好的“安胃”食物。牛肉拉面每碗大概在7块到8块5角钱之间。

Where to get it:We like to slurp at the open-air stall on the corner of Xikang Lu and Xinfeng Lu. If you complain that you have to sit outside when it’s raining, no soup for you.
到哪里去寻：我们喜欢在路边摊吃这种牛肉拉面，地点在西康路和新丰路路口。下雨的时候也得坐在外面吃，要是“乌里买里”得抱怨，那你就没得吃了。

烤肉串

Why we love it: Few things taste better at four in the morning than a few grilled kebabs. Our favorite is of course the yang rou chuan -- lamb kebabs. Perfectly seasoned with cumin and paprika, they make for a perfect ending to any night out.
为啥受欢迎： 凌晨4点钟的时候，没有什么能比烤肉串更好吃的了。我们最喜欢的当然是烤羊肉串了，再撒上点孜然粉和辣椒粉，夜宵就解决了。

Where to get it: If you’re not outside MAO at 4am, fear not, for our favorite stall is opened during daylight hours. On the corner of Wulumuqi Lu and Yuyuan Access Lu, they grill some pretty mean lamb for around RMB 2 per stick.
到哪里去寻：放心，我们不会当真让你凌晨4点钟跑到MAO门口去吃羊肉串的，我们推荐的摊头是白天营业的。位于乌鲁木齐北路和愚园支路路口，羊肉质地新鲜，每串售价2块钱左右。

小笼

Why we love it: RMB 4 usually gets you a Styrofoam container of eight of these velvety and delicate Shanghai classics. The cure for any hunger pain, these are seriously good.
为啥受欢迎：这一种上海的经典小吃一般4块钱就能买到用泡沫盒装的8个，滑嫩可口。用它来充饥，没话说了。

Where to get it: Everywhere. That is the greatest thing about xiaolongbao -- they can be ordered at five star restaurants, malls, food courts, and street stalls. Our favorite, though, are from the stall on the corner of Yunnan Nan Lu and Jinling Dong Lu.
到哪里去寻：啥地方都有。小笼馒头最大的优势就是到处都可以买到，高级餐厅、购物中心、美食街或者路边摊都有卖。我们推荐的是位于云南南路和金陵东路路口的一个摊头。
 

肉夹馍

Why we love it: Pick your meat, and then add the veggies you want -- we love the pulled chicken for RMB 5 with cilantro, lettuce, and plenty of chili sauce. The buns are steamed, split open, then stuffed with the most tasty meat and veggie mix.
为啥受欢迎：虽然肉夹馍不是上海本地的美食，不过在上海已经遍地开花，你去看看大学周围就知道了。肉和菜都是自选的，我们喜欢手撕鸡肉搭配香菜、生菜和多一点的辣椒酱，只要5块钱。将蒸好的面饼从中间切开，把美味的肉末和蔬菜末填在里面即可。

Where to get it: For some reason, Caoxi Bei Lu, from Ikea to just about Lingling Lu is full of these stalls. Our favorite is just near the metro entrance of Shanghai Stadium.
到哪里去寻：不知道怎么回事，漕溪北路从宜家一直到零陵路这段都是肉夹馍的摊点。我们推荐的是靠近上海体育场地铁站入口处的摊头
 

上海第一食品商店

Why we love it: An entire mall devoted to cheap eats -- what’s not to love? When in need of a cheap xiaochi, this place has got us covered.
为啥受欢迎： 网罗各式小吃的食品商店，有什么理由不喜欢它呢？在这里，可以找到我们想要的、各式各样的、经济实惠的小吃。

Where to get it: While we don’t necessarily suggest trekking all the way out to Fudan University just to ogle at all the edible items at this mall, we do suggest checking it out if you’re already in the area and need a delicious study break.
到哪里去寻：上海第一食品商店在南京东路上，上海人大多会跑去那里。在五角场地区还有一个它分店，我们去的是那个。不过，我们不建议仅仅为了吃小吃专门跑一趟杨浦。如果你在附近上学，而且希望在紧张的学习之余休息一下，这会是个不错的地方。
 

南瓜饼

Why we love it: For something sweet, we cannot get enough of these RMB 1 red bean pastries that will satisfy even your sweetest of teeth.
为啥受欢迎：要是你喜欢吃甜，我们向你强烈推荐这种1块钱一个的南瓜饼。

Where to get it: Although offered at many bakeries and pastry shops, we like ours fried right off the street. We think some of the best are offered at a little unmarked stand on the corner of Xikang Lu and Nanyang Lu.
到哪里去寻：尽管很多饭店或者点心店都卖南瓜饼，我们推荐的却是路边摊头上做。西康路和南阳路路口有几家没有招牌的小店，那里卖的南瓜饼最好吃。

臭豆腐

Why we love it: You know you are becoming a true Shanghailander when you start craving these eats. Once we got over the initial shock of the stench of the snack we found the tofu clean and silky. And four for just RMB 1 -- we’d be crazy not to love these.
为啥受欢迎： 只有当你开始欢喜上臭豆腐的时候，你才是真正的上海人。在习惯了臭豆腐最初的臭味之后，我们发现臭豆腐其实非常干净、细滑，而且4块臭豆腐只要花费1块钱，让我笑得嘴巴都合不拢了。

Where to get it: Our two favorite cares are under the Wuning Lu Bridge, near the entrance to Carrefour, and on Yunnan Nan Lu.
到哪里去寻：我们最喜欢的两个摊头一个在武宁路桥桥下，靠近家乐福入口，另一个在云南南路。
