Red spicy - for the night birds
Ae Kitchen - Best Omelet in town
This is an omelet you cannot pass over if you love eggs. It is the signature dish in a restaurant that serves up salad, pasta, pizza and sandwiches. But who can resist a light, fluffy, perfectly turned omelet oozing with cheese and other fresh ingredients? It's a sweet little eatery with a breakfast set that's served all day until 5 pm, and the affordable prices and strong WI-Fi makes it a spot to remember. - Xie Yu

Red Spicy - For the night birds
They wait in line outside the shop at all hours, but especially during the dark of night when the sharp, spicy aromas waft out enticingly. This is Shanghai's latest Sichuan-style snack stop with a signature mala tang, the tongue-searing hotpot in which skewers of tasty morsels are dipped for quick cooking. Pick what you want, spend just a little money and the spiciness drives your tiredness away instantly. If you are brave enough, give the bowl of pigs' brains a try. - Li Xinzhu
