Where to taste the most authentic Shanghai food?

The most famous Shanghai-food restaurants are the Old Town Restaurant
and Dexingguan Restaurant. Shanghai Old Town Restaurant was set up in
the City God Temple area during Qing Dynasty, more than 100 years from
now. It is the first local-food restaurant in Shanghai. It is
well-known for preparing fresh fish, shrimps, crabs and eels. In
cooking it pays attention to the control of flames, rich flavor,
original gravy and original taste, thick in gravy and bright in color,
mellow and delicious to the palate. The restaurant's dishes are
typical of Shanghai-style food. Through long-time study and practice
it adopts different ways of cooking for different raw materials and
for different parts of the material. By absorbing the good points from
Suzhou, Zhejiang and Anhui food, emphsizing on rich flavor with
original gravy and original taste, it keeps the food frgrant, crispy,
fresh and tender without losing the nutrients, thus enriching the
flavor of Shanghai food to form a special Shanghai cuisine. Its
specialties are the eight-jeweled duck, pork rib in prickly ash and
salt, squirrel-shape yellow croaker.
