Foods in Old Shanghai Regents Primary School of Shenzhen, Ren, Silvia - 10 You don’t know the taste of foods in Old Shanghai. It’s wonderful like my mother, gorgeous like my father. It looks like an adorable child smiling at you. When you read the end of the story, you will think this poem is glory, Do you know Xie Ke Huang ? If you eat it you will say “Wow!” Do you know why it is called Xie Ke Huang? It’s because xie is crab, and the food is in crab shape! If you eat one Xie Ke Huang, you will grab another one. I think Ba Bao Rice is the best. It is sticky like glue. It’s very colorful, but there isn’t any blue. At the top, there are red beans. I fight my sister to eat the beans, it makes me mean. I really like eating Hai Tang Cake. It is a traditional dessert in Shanghai. There’re sweet candies on top of the cake. They melt very easily so you have to be careful. It’s good to give presents to children, they will love them! When you’re eating the food I write, please remember that someday the food you’re eating will disappear, So please don’t forget the food!
