Seeking Shanghai Pudong Recommendations

[purplescout]

I'm coming to Shanghai the first week of September for a business trip, staying at the Crowne Plaza Century Park in Pudong. I'm a California chowhound who eats a lot of Chinese (and other asian) food. I'd like some suggestions for places around the area I'm staying for great bao, handmade noodles, or anything else local and delectable. Thanks!

I'm sorry you didn't get any recs. When I visited the Pudong area, I got the impression that it was a bit of a wasteland, albeit with some spectacular achitecture.

Did you wind up getting something decent to eat?

Hmmm, its past September already, but as you probably already realize, Shanghai is too easy to get around for you to have to stay in Pudong to eat. If you are on an expense account, the only choice is FU 1088, the best Shanghainese restaurant in the city.
