Exploring restaurants in old Shanghai
Print Edition
WHAT did people eat in old Shanghai? Intrigued by his grandfather’s reminisces about the Sun Ya Restaurant during the 1940s, journalist Bill Savadove began asking this question. His talk, “What’s for Tiffin? Restaurants in Old Shanghai,” richly illustrated with images of old menus from his personal collection, will provide some of the answers.
After Shanghai opened its port in 1842, Chinese and foreigners alike brought their home cooking to the city, creating a rich “stew” of Chinese regional and foreign foods. The old menus show what was on offer from as early as 1904 through to the 1940s — illustrating the international nature of cuisine and the vibrancy of the dining scene in old Shanghai.
Savadove will also go beyond the table and explore where the food came from.
