The Hindu Business Line : Shanghai street food fest is here

MAINLAND China, part of a chain of speciality restaurants, has announced its plan to bring a piece of Shanghai to Hyderabad with its Street Food Festival.

Shanghai is referred to Paris of the East, known not just for its cultural and commercial vibrancy but its unique cuisine. Home to about 15,000 restaurants, it blends the best of both North and South in China to evolve distinct cuisine. This would be brought to Hyderabadis over the next two weeks.

Mr Rajeev Kapoor of Mainland China told reporters that the group plans to locate one more centre in the country, possibly in New Delhi.

Apart from Kolkata, the chain is present in Mumbai with two centres, and one each in Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Chennai.

Mr Kapoor said that Shanghai has a suburb named Nanxiang that is known for its tasty meat buns called Bao.

Mainland China has recreated the Shanghai Street Chicken Bao as well as the popular Shanghai Street Barbecued Lamb. Nanjiang Lu is a famous street in this city, which makes some of the best `Skewered Chicken Wings'.

Chef Rajesh Dubey said that Chinese cuisine has never been explored so deeply by any restaurant in the country. "We have thoroughly studied the food being offered at Shanghai streets during our recent visit to Shanghai."
