  1. I tried some of the recipes and the food tatse great.  The Shanghai dishs are very very good.  I hope to go to Shanghai this summer.

  2. This tea egges taste so good. For more flavor I used a pin and pushed it all the way thru then the flavor gos thru the whole egg. Shanghai food recipes are pretty good. I am trying the others now.

  3. I got my wife to make it ,it’s wonderful, just like the ones I had in Shanghai.

  4. This is a very good recipe.  The kids loved the eggs.  Do you have other Shanghai food finger food recipes.  I see your sites has many Chinese food recipes but usually for main course.  I am looking for more recips that I can make for the kids!  many thnks!

  5. It’s a very good recipe.  I used Lipton tea bags and it came out very very nice.  You need to use 6 of them.  The more you use the better the flavor!

  6. The eggs are great.  the recipe is simple, I tried different teas, I used Earl greay and the flaor was not that strong.  The needle thru the eggs makes the yolk very moist not bad.  The kids love the eggs.

  7. It’s actually served better in a bowl with lots of them together and watch them peel it away.  They all think it’s a marble egg or an egg made from stone.  Kids love it!

  8. This is a great tea egg recipe.  My kids really liked it.  I thought it was a great idea to try it using curry.  It failed, the curry is to think and the flavor did not go in, instead it burned.  I thiought it was a good idea.  I can not wait to try your other Shanghai food recipes.  Many Thanks.

  9. Great recipe, Thanks for all your recipes under one site.  hey are simple and good.  The Shanghai food ones are very quick and easy!

  10. I found some other Shanghai food recipes on http://www.shanghaifood.com.  Teh recipes are not as easy and as good but they some different ones.

  11. what other finger foods do the Shanghai peopel eat!.  i would love to try some more recipes.  Thanks

  12. Great recipe, I will try the other recipes you have.  The Shanghai food ones look yummie!

  13. You can get a plastic egg box, so when your finished with the egg just peel when hot and you can make square marble eggs,. It was a hit at my party. I tried the Shanghai fried wontons too very very good. Do you have a recipe for a dipping sauce.
