Asian desserts are very specific. The Shanghai version of desserts is no exception. However, you should definitely taste some of them. For example, halva is a crumbly substance made from rice flour and groundnuts. It's sweet but not cloying. It is worth noting that you will not find very sweet desserts here. You should taste rice cookies and firewood. Sachima also deserves attention. These are fried pieces of dough with sweet syrup. They are similar to the Eastern chak-chak. You should taste a specific dessert made of special red rice. Not everyone can appreciate such a dish the first time. However, this is a real Chinese dessert.

However, you should visit a restaurant with traditional Shanghai cuisine at least once during your vacation in Shanghai. If you do not plan to spend a lot of money on food, then visit the establishments of the Xiao Yang Sheng chain.
