places to eat in Shanghai

As compiled from info from my study abroad at FUDAN UNIVERSITY, SHANGHAI

Some (but not all, :]) great places to eat in Shanghai (feel free to let me know of any I've missed)

* Near Fudan University Campus
--street food: chow mein for 4 kuai, fried rice for 5 kuai, ma la tang (spicy hot-pot) for anywhere from 3-10 kuai, savory crepes for 5 kuai, grilled squid, lamb skewers for 1 kuai, "chinese hamburgers" for 5 kuai, endless selection, right outside the dorm gates from 10p-2a; great post-clubbing food, midnight munchies cure.
--Muslim noodle: HANDMADE NOODLES, 24 HRS A DAY, BETWEEN 4-7 KUAI A BOWL, WITH THE NICEST STAFF ANYWHERE. 'nuff said.
--Gil Wonton: Great selection of wontons in hot soup; there are vegetable and meat wontons; my favorite was mushroom/pork at 6 kuai a bowl, and the Happy Family Special (ten unique wontons from their selection), 7 kuai. They also deliver in record time, and the owners are really nice
--Tairyo Teppanyaki in You Yi Cheng, 5th floor: Actually, not one of my favorite places to eat actually, I'm not terribly fond of it at all, but a great deal nonetheless: for 150 kuai per person, all you can eat/drink teppanyaki/sushi/dessert/sake/beer/soda/juice; great for holding large groups since each table seats about 10 and they have several of these tables, and take reservations.
--Lillian's Egg Tarts on Wu Jiao Chang ground floor: OMG, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PORTUGUESE-STYLE EGG-TARTS IN THE WORLD-- warm custard, like golden sunshine, glows in a light, flaky crust; tastes like happiness, :) TRUE STORY.
--Xiao Long Bao by Banana Bar: the famous Shanghai xiaolong bao for much less than you would get at Yu Garden; I think 2 or 3 kuai gets you 6 or 8; not the best, but good for a quick lunch
--Ajisen Noodle in Wu Jiao Chang: not one of my favorites, but good for Japanese ramen, with big servings; popular with my friends
--Hong Kong restaurant on 3rd floor, Wu Jiao Chang: Great for herbal/medicinal soups in the Cantonese tradition; other foods are good too; highly recommend the steamed fish and steamed vegetables
--The alleyway down HanDan Lu: filled with little cute shops and restaurants; great for lunch after class in Building 6

* Further from Fudan (not quite as helpful, since I don't really remember the names, -___-;;)
--Bellagio, near XinTianDi: Taiwanese food, v. good. Even has oyster omelet, pig gut vermicelli, braised pork over vegetables, and other Taiwanese dishes; good for curing that hankering for Taiwanese food in Shanghai
--City Diner: Not the best Western food ever, but when you get the hankering for Western food, this place works. IT HAS TABASCO. And it's open 24 hours and in the middle of the city near the clubs, great for post-clubbing
--CPK/Element Fresh, near the Ritz Carlton:
--Whisk: AMAZING CHOCOLATE DESSERTS.
--Visage and Sugar (two different places) in the French Concession/XinTianDi/Hong Kong New World Plaza Area: Also fantastic places for great desserts
--Paul's Bakery, XinTianDi: The famous Paul's bakery comes from France to set up a branch in Shanghai; lovely breads and baguettes
--Crystal Jade Garden in XinTianDi: Great upscale Chinese food
--This one tapas place; can't remember the name, but it was AMAZING.

Of course, this list is merely a sampler of all the great food we had in Shanghai, but I highly recommend you go out and discover your own list of favorites to add to mine!
