Experience Details

More than just food – this is the Shanghai we live, love, and can’t wait to share. Every stop is filled with stories, flavors, and history you won’t find in any guidebook.


Flexible for every appetite – whether you’re short on time or hungry for it all, choose from a quick 30-minute tasting session (2 bites) or indulge in the full 3-hour journey with 7+ authentic street eats and a guided walk to the Bund.


Your childhood on a plate – this isn’t just a food tour; it’s your memory lane. Each dish we serve is something Shanghainese families have cherished for generations — the flavors we grew up with.


Only a Shanghailander would know – we take you off the tourist track and into real neighborhoods, introducing you to beloved snacks and stalls even many locals overlook.


Authentic hosts, authentic connection – we’re lifelong Shanghailanders with backgrounds in event planning and cultural exchange. We understand global travelers — and we love bridging cultures through food and stories.
