Commander Kay
Born in the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), Commander Kai is a representative of Haipai West Point, and the first Western restaurant opened in old Shanghai by the Chinese, so it was named "Commander Kai" to commemorate the victory and triumph of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
"Commander Kai" has a high rate of appearance in Zhang Ailing's pen, and director Ang Lee restored the scenes in the book in the movie "Color Ring". Wang Jiazhi, played by Tang Wei, elegantly ordered a cup of coffee in fluent English and sat in Commander Kai waiting for Mr. Yi.

From childhood memories to the present day, selecting flour, cream making, and mounting flowers, Kaisling has made the pastry technique into an intangible cultural heritage that represents Shanghai.
1. Buttermidite Pastry
The "cream cake" in the mouths of those older uncles and aunts in Shanghai is not easy to find now, most of them can only go to the old cake shop to find, and many old diners have rushed to it. The milk fat content of New Zealand's pure natural cream reaches more than 80%, and the milk aroma is the most suitable for the taste of Shanghainese.
The bite is hard and oily, not the same as the lightness of "cream", and there is a solid satisfaction when bitten down on the cake embryo.
The strict inheritance is vividly demonstrated in the flowering technique, the hand kung fu is never lost to the star chefs in the hotel, rarely decorate the cake with plugs or fruits, they have been silently adhering to this tradition and feelings.
2. Mythical chestnut cake
It is always described as too delicious, in fact, it does guarantee the quality, and it has not changed over the years. After the chestnuts are fried, the meat is peeled, sweetened and ground into a puree to make a cake blank, and then covered with a layer of fresh milk, chestnut and milk aroma intertwined, soft and smooth. Two tastes and one encounter, the taste is wonderful ah ~ every day home from work must punch card items!
Kesling does have such a great charm: you will never forget the taste of the first sip, and you will still cling to it for years to come.

Harbin Food Factory
Maybe everyone's first reaction when they see this store, maybe I have some doubts, is there any inevitable connection between Shanghai and Harbin? In fact, its original name was "Welfare Bread Factory".

Hengshan Hotel, formerly known as "Bicardi Apartment", because it was located in the French Concession at that time, it was natural to have such a Westernized name. After its completion, it was the tallest building in the western part of Downtown Shanghai until the 1980s, and there was an endless stream of Chinese and foreign guests visiting.
The vicissitudes of the city, it still stands in the bustling Xujiahui commercial area, greenery, elegant environment, well-known in Shanghai and has a high international reputation of five-star high-end hotels.
1. Chestnut cake
In Shanghai, there are 2 authentic genres of chestnut cake, one is the "Kaisling" we just said, and the other is the Hengshan Hotel. After a century of fire, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an "Oriental Pastry Internet celebrity", and I think that Mei Lanfang, the master of Peking Opera, was its loyal fan.
The earlier chestnut powder, but the unique skill of Master Pan Boliang, the "Pastry Master" of Shanghai Beach, compared with the solidity of Kai Commander Chestnut Rong, its home is more fluffy and fine, sweet and not greasy.
Chestnuts undergo multiple processes such as steaming, sieving, pressing, and seasoning, and are polished by hand, which is very labor-intensive. Nowadays, this craft is inherited by master Ying Guanbao, the "unique disciple", and the craftsman spirit of not forgetting the original heart has achieved a consistent taste.
The cream is delicate, the chestnuts are smooth, a faint sweetness, mixed with a rich milk aroma, rich in layering, to make people feel very refreshing, feel more delicious than The kiesin's cake~
If you want to taste the freshest and most original taste of chestnut cake, be sure to eat it as quickly as possible within 24 hours.

The puff pastry, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, is squeezed on top with a special layer of sandwiches and caramel, and the smell of baking is all over the house.
Unlike "Napoleon", the highlight of the mille-feuille is that although it is crunchy, it is not easy to break. The method of making the sandwich is also very exquisite, imported from France, mixed with wheat ice cream and light cream, and eaten like butter particles.

Although a bit off-topic, I would highly recommend two Chinese breakfasts. Sticky rice with thick oil and red sauce, full of large meat grains, bamboo shoots, diced shiitake mushrooms, the oil moisture is very strong, the viscosity is just right, each grain of glutinous rice is guaranteed a seductive color, and even the outer skin is steamed soft and soft by water vapor. I have to say a drawback, that is, in the end, it is still the taste of Shanghainese people ~ sweet~
2. Hemp ball
The hemp balls are so large that they can only hold one in a box, and they are very heavy and firm, with a crispy outer skin and a sticky filling. The taste has 2 kinds of red beans and black puff pastry, a light bite can not stop the oil to the outside, black puff pastry can not be greedy, eat more will be greasy Oh; tear open if it is bean paste filling, refreshing and sweet.

The "net red shop" of the last century has become an old brand, the years have not been spared, and the diners of that year have gradually aged, but there are young people sweetly sandwiched in it.
All kinds of old-school dim sum also have similar categories, if you really want to compete, they have their own style, I think everyone has their own taste ranking table in their hearts.
Every pastry carries the weight of time
They have a deceptive aroma
Let you put the idea of losing weight behind you

True love is something that must not be let go
