Best Cold Weather Foods and Where to Find Them

2017-10-18 ShanghaiWOWeng

Ok so it’s not exactly winter yet, but temps are dropping and that means one thing as far as we’re concerned: cold weather foods! Here are some of the dishes we’re looking forward to during Shanghai’s upcoming cold-weather months, and of course, where to find them! 


Rotisserie Chicken


Heat



Price: Whole chicken RMB188, ½ chicken RMB98, ¼ chicken RMB52

Address: 199 Maoming Bei Lu

Tel: 021-32205689

Hours: Daily, 11am-11pm


Rotisserie Chicken is the quintessential feel-good food during cold weather months, and Heat has some damn good chicken. Get a quarter chicken for RMB 52 or go wild with a whole bird for 188. And absolutely DO NOT forget to order some sides along with it. 


Fried Chicken


Kyochon 1991



Price: Around RMB 73 per person

Address: 388 Madang Lu

Tel: 021 6333 1738

Hours: Daily, 11:30am-9:30pm


We can’t tell you much about this chain or how they make their chicken. It’s not even fried chicken exactly, maybe more like fried chicken wings? What we can tell you though, is that this chicken will change your life and warm your body and soul for days afterwards. 


Lasagna


Café Des Stagiaires



Price: (Lasagna ala Bolognese) RMB 50

Address: Multiple venues

Tel: 158 2147 7495

Hours: Mon-Fri, noon-2am, Sat-Sun, noon-4am

A lot of things may come to mind when you hear the name Café Des Stagiaires. Lasagna is probably not one of them, but maybe it should be. Theirs is a home-style, saucy, meaty, cheese-globed delight that will make your fall/winter infinitely more bearable. 


Hot Pot


Holy Cow

You're truly spoiled for choices when it comes to hot pot in Shanghai, so we just went ahead and picked a random good one. Holy Cow is a solid, affordable and delicious option among hundreds of others. 


Soup


Nosh (delivery only)



Price: RMB 34

Address: (delivery only)

Tel: 21 3469 0668

Hours: Daily, 10:30am-10pm


Soup of course! Soup is a must when the temps drop in autumn, and Nosh’s Pumpkin soup is exactly what you need. Sure there are restaurants with more options out there, and they are delivery-only, but who cares! Creamy yellow curry pumpkin soup served with baguette for RMB 34, yes please!


Mashed Potatoes

There’s something magical about eating mash potatoes when it’s cold outside, and what could be more magical than doing that at Mr & Mrs Bund. This lavish dish is fit for a king (or queen), and will radiate heat throughout your entire bosy just by looking at it. 


Meat Pies


Pie Society

Tel: 136 7189 3024

Pies are wonderful, but what’s even more wonderful that pies: meat pies. Pie Society has the royal flush of these meaty delights, the perfect way to indulge on a winter evening. NOTORIOUS P.I.G. (pictured above) is made with ground black pork, apple, flavoured with sage, English mustard, and slow cooked in English Strongbow cider. 


Chili Cheese Fries

Call us fat slobs, but there’s nothing we love more than a piping-hot, heaping pile of chili cheese fries. Boxing Cat has just the pile you need at RMB 65. 


Hot Meaty Sandwiches


Deli Boys



Price: (The New York Reuben) RMB 85

Address: Lane 710 Dingxi Lu

Tel: 021 6212 1722

Hours: Daily, 10:30am-10pm


Deli Boys recently made quite a splash out on Dingxi Lu with their big, meaty sandwiches and friendly service. What else could you ask for when it’s cold outside? We HIGHLY recommend the New York Reuben (RMB 85), but then again, everything we’ve had there was great. 


Sausage

Look at all this meat. So we even have to write anything here? RMB 188 gets you this hearty Sausage platter at Zeitgeist, a meal totally fit for a cold winter’s night. 


Cookies

Address: Metrobank Driveway, Rm 103, 1160 Yan'an Xi Lu

Cookies, yes, cookies. Order them fresh out the oven, or heat them up at home. Have a glass of milk on standby of course. And a blanket. So where can you get the perfect cookies for all this? Strictly Cookies OBVIOUSLY. If you’ve never tried them you’re insane, if you have tried them then you already know.
