Meet the Bund - Michelin Fujian Cuiding in Shanghai

#discoverchina Meet The Bund or Yu Wai Tan is a high-end Chinese restaurant that specializes in Fujian cuisine. It was awarded one Michelin star in the 2021 Shanghai Guide. One of their signature dishes is the Xiamen Steamed Glutinous Rice with Mud Crab. (Seasonal pricing applies, when I went it was ¥638.) This is a dish worth trying. Raw glutinous rice is wok-fried with spices, scallion, pork belly, dried squid and soya sauce for nearly an hour before it’s set to steam. The result is an aromatic base for the roe-rich mud crabs, which by the way, are imported directly from Fujian. #localfood #china
