In my opinion,
Shanghai cuisine is by far the most
fatty of all styles. In fact, it is so oily the food is likely to slide off your
chopsticks. It is my least favorite style of
Chinese food, but some people may differ.
Shanghai cooking places a heavy emphasis on the use of seafoods, oil, and wine. Cold dishes are also very popular.
Notable dishes include drunk chicken (chicken cooked in rice wine), hairy crabs (not as bad as it sounds, it is merely freshwater crabs), and fish of all sorts.
