There is a small one block long road off of S tˇbet rd. A block South of Huaihai lu. All little shops both sides of the street. Night time everyone opens a stall out front. Its been there for years. Anyone know the name of the street?
Me likey. About a 15 minute walk east from Xintiandi. A good place to walk it off, get a snack and go back for round two. |
I'm on my way....  |
I was going to mention this one back when the thread was young, but couldn't remember the exact location and wasn't sure if it was still "alive". Good to hear that street food is still do-able in the downtown.
I hear that Yunnan Rd (also in the People's Square neighborhood) is similar to Huanghe Rd in style. |

| bbc74 you must be immune to every bacertrium and virus on earth. I've got a strong stomach, but after eating street food every now and then the next morning feels like armageddon. |
Could just be that the only way you will eat street food is if you have had a bit too much to drink - and the drink causes your morning sickness |

When I hear street vendor food I think of those people with carts that bake things on the spot or at subway stops cooking lamb and chicken on a stick. As dusty and windy as it is here I refuse to eat anything cooked out in the open next to a road, unless you like licking the street, same thing. I tried some street food in South America in the '90's basically, don't ask what it is. Only time its good is when youre hammered and its 3am.
Y'all are far braver then I for sampleing such things, I'll stick with restrauants and places with a license to serve food and some hope of getting inspected once a decade. |

You rerally dont understand China, if you think Street Food in China is anything like South America.....Some of the best food I've ever eaten was from a Chinese Street Vendor .....Guangzhou has Fabulous Street food.....From My experience so does Shanghai....I would like to find all of the streets that sell street food... |

I understand China, "The secret is in the oil"
Many street vendors who cook snacks (especially fried foods) may use “slop oil” to save money and keep their costs low.
Slop oil? What's that?
Slop oil is “refined” from slop or swill, which is the leftover “food” that people and restaurants throw away.

C'mon, I'm sure we all already have eaten food cooked with that kind of oil. Probably without noticing...
We can never know, and better not be afraid otherwise we'll end up eating at McDo's (maybe some employees there steal the regular oil and cook your food with slop oil ).
My fav food street is Yunnan lu, near People Square, there's the only restaurant where I can have some pretty authentic Xi'an food (yang rou paomo and other delicious noodles) |

Yet everyone is happy to overpay for organic food and believe the hype.

and you think it is better in an enclosed kitchen in a restaurant? |
