Even though Shanghai doesn’t endure below-freezing temperatures, the winter here makes you crave certain foods. Gone are the days when salads reigned supreme as we tend to reach for hearty bowls of carbs on carbs on carbs instead. While there’s nothing wrong with indulging in gooey mac & cheese, there are other types of comfort eats worth considering. All you need is an extra helping of herbs, spices and a little bit of love to bring warmth back into your body.

A favourite in the city for more than a decade, Masala Art knows exactly how to battle seasonal blues – with authentic Indian fare. Not only they chase away the chill, but take you on a culinary journey across the regions in India. Try Masala’s spiced tandoori from Punjab, or stick to vegetarian-friendly Desi dishes for a well-rounded dining experience.
