I wanted to eat egg pancakes for a long time, and I went there just in time to go. There were 3 people in line in front of me, and I waited for about 10 minutes. When I left, there were still 3 or 5 people in the line. The egg pancakes didn't have too much stuff, so I asked for half a fried dough stick, which felt right. The egg pancakes tasted good and weren't particularly oily, but the fried dough sticks were average. The overall price-performance ratio was good.

Dingxing Road Egg Pancake Stand is located on the north side of Dingxing Road, a short road. The couple uses two stoves to make it at the same time. They only serve breakfast. The price is cheap and good. An egg pancake with fried dough sticks costs only 6 yuan. The pancake wrapped outside is thicker and softer, and the taste is good. Add cocoa milk and it is a perfect breakfast.

My friend arrived in Shanghai earlier than me in the morning, and went directly to Dingxing Road to buy egg pancakes, and packed one for me. Because I had never eaten it before, I ordered a traditional egg + fried dough sticks, but unfortunately my friend forgot to order non-scallions for me... It was cold when I got it. The surface was a mixture of soft and glutinous pancakes and eggs, and the inside was fried noodles. When I ate half of it, I felt that the taste was very light, probably because I didn't eat the sauce. I was full after eating half of it, and saved the other half for the evening. The other half was just the sauce part, and the taste was just right. I also bought a pack of cocoa milk, the taste of childhood. This egg pancake is only 6 yuan, a touching price. In fact, it can be paired with many other different fillings, but unfortunately I didn't have time to see it. It is said that adding shredded potatoes and bacon is also good. I can only eat it next time I have the chance.

Nowadays, there are very few soft pancakes sold outside, and there are relatively more hard pancakes. I feel that the texture of this pancake is between soft and hard. In addition to the basic version with crispy biscuits or fried dough sticks, you can also add various tenderloins, lettuce, shredded potatoes, etc. It is more like a hodgepodge, more like the additions of Fuyang steamed buns. The taste is actually okay. The place is a bit difficult to find, in a very small alley.

It is getting harder and harder to find the egg pancakes I ate when I was a kid in Shanghai now. I am very happy that there is a shop near People's Square. There are still many people lining up to buy it every day. If you want to eat it, you still need to queue up. I like to eat plain pancakes, which are the ones without crackers or fried dough sticks. But I will add two eggs, green onions and coriander. I must add more sweet bean sauce. I feel that sweet bean sauce is the key to whether the egg pancake is delicious or not. The taste of the whole egg pancake is the taste of childhood. I really hope this taste can continue forever.

It is rare to find such traditional egg pancakes in the old city of Shanghai, especially in the city center. From the People's Square subway station, exit 8 and go through the side door of the hotel to Dingxing Road. The egg pancake stall is where people are queuing. The price has increased a little compared to before, but it is still acceptable. I ordered a bacon, potato and lettuce double egg pancake, and my friend ordered a fried dough stick, lettuce and egg pancake. The sweet noodle sauce tasted very good, the pancake crust was soft and delicious, and it was even better with a bag of cocoa milk.
