Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
There’s a plethora of places to eat on Jinxian Road but one worth searching out is little Lan Xin. It’s a popular place with a diverse clientele – just be ready to join the queue, which usually snakes down the street. It was once a residential home and the modest look matches with the traditional, homely style of Shanghainese food on offer. The braised pork; braised duck with brown sauce; and yellow croaker in sweet vinegar sauce are all good.
