Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
Glossy red-braised pork belly scattered with scallions, a dish served on a woven bamboo mat under chives, a plate of scallion-oil noodles and simply cooked greens, followed by a frame of the group at the table.
These are home-style Shanghainese standards, and the caption stacks four different ways of saying delicious. Red-braised pork and scallion-oil noodles are two of the city’s signature dishes, and this table got both.
