How locals do it

A 24-hour 生煎 (pan-fried pork bun) shop. The 特色生煎 has a crisp bottom and a juicy filling; add 开洋葱油拌面 (scallion-oil noodles) for the full old-Shanghai breakfast.

Don't get this wrong

Bite a small hole first — the soup inside is very hot. Late-night hours mean the shop can look quiet; it is open, just walk in.
