Persimmons, Qipao's & Mantou

 

 Street Food

Shanghai has no shortage of 'street food'.

Though the bread's and dried fruits from Urgyr vendor's top our favourite's, we have also tested Zong Zi (glutinous rice and red beans wrapped in banana leaf), fresh pressed OJ, sugar cane juice, barrel-BBQ corn and yam's....and Mantou or Bao Zi (steamed buns). O and I love red-bean filled buns, but O will eat them plain too. Light as a feather and ridiculously cheap!

 Urgyr Dried Fruit in Bulk

From our Urgyr friends, every colour raisin under the sun, plump dried persimmon, figs, apricots and loads of nuts.

We turned our errand run into a 'street food' party and picked up some snacks on our sunny walk.
