The Dish That Disappeared

2021

About

SHORT | We all have food we love. For Arthur, it was doubansu, a home-style dish commonly found in Shanghai's neighbourhood restaurants. Twenty years after he first moved to the city, the old restaurants have vanished under rapid urban development, and with them, his favourite food. Few young people today have even heard of it. Is doubansu doomed to disappear forever? Or can one man's love of this ugly-delicious dish introduce it to a whole new generation? The Dish That Disappeared is a celebration of traditional cuisine in a modern world.
