Shanghainese Flavour

Since coming back from Shanghai, I've been thinking a lot about the life there versus here in Hong Kong. I can't put my finger on it yet, but there is something in Shanghai that can't be said. I suppose it is like any other city you've been to in that the flavour must be tasted.

Don't know what I mean?

Well just imagine the hundreds of pages you'd have to write to describe the experience of chocolate. You can blather on and on about it, but the other person will still never get the point. But give them a nice little square of Valrhona, and they'll understand in the seconds it takes for the chocolate to melt on their tongue.

Anyhow, here is a bunch of squares of Shanghai that I think make up a pretty decent bar.
