Hello, I am the father of the famous gourmet Jingjing. I am happy to answer your questions. Introduction to this issue: Which Xiao Long Bao restaurant in Shanghai is the most authentic? Is it Chenghuang Temple Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop?
Speaking of the most authentic Xiao Long Bao in Shanghai, in my mind as an authentic Shanghainese, it must be the Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop located in Chenghuang Temple. In fact, this is a branch, and the Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao main store is located in Fayuan. In Nanxiang Town, there is a Nanxiang steamed bun shop at the entrance of Guyi Garden Scenic Area. In my childhood memory, every time I go to Nanxiang, I must eat a small rice dumpling at the entrance of Guyi Garden, and I have to pack it back after eating. A share of the family is the best memory of my childhood. Characteristics of Shanghai Xiaolong
Shanghai’s Xiaolong is as exquisite as Shanghainese. It is characterized by thin skin, tender meat, juicy, fresh taste and beautiful shape.
1. The thin skin of Shanghai Xiaolongpi is not rolled out with a rolling pin. Good Xiaolongpi is pressed out by hand. An experienced chef can operate it with both hands and press two dough ingredients at once. Click and press two small dragon skins at once.
2. The tender and authentic Nanxiang Xiaolong Pork does not add any onions, only a little minced ginger to remove the fishy smell. The pork selected must be the freshest sandwich meat of the day, according to the ratio of four lean and one fat. Stir it into a puree, so that the steamed pork is very tender.
3. Juiciness is another major feature of Shanghai Xiaolong. It is juicy because the meat jelly and meat fillings are added together. When steamed in the steamer, the meat jelly melts and becomes The steamed dumplings are filled with tempting soup.
4. The freshness of Shanghai Xiaolong is because of the use of broth. The specific reason why it is so fresh is probably a trade secret, and I don’t know. . . . .
5. The name Xiaolongbao is also because of its appearance. It is small and exquisite but not lacking in delicacy. A good Xiaolongbao must have 32 pleats in every square inch, like a miniature version. Just like the steamed buns, they are crystal clear and you can see the swaying soup inside through the light when they are freshly steamed. The twelve-character secret of how to eat Xiaolongbao:
Lift it gently, move it slowly, first the skylight, and then drink the soup. It can be said that these 12 words fully explain how to eat Xiaolongbao. I I like the steamed dumplings that have just come out of the cage. Dip them in some balsamic vinegar and put them in a spoon. When they are steaming hot, take a small bite and the soup will slowly flow out from your mouth. Drink the soup while it is still hot in the spoon. Wait. After the steamed buns have cooled down a bit, take one bite at a time. They are fresh and tender. You will have an aftertaste after eating and there will be a sticky feeling on your lips. This is the effect of pig skin jelly.
Finally, Xiao Long Bao is selected as an intangible cultural heritage. Its delicious taste has been loved by the majority of gourmet lovers. I hope that tourists visiting Shanghai will definitely go to the City God Temple to taste the delicious Xiao Long Bao. , if you have any other information about Xiao Long Bao, you can also leave me a message in the comment area, thank you
I am Kaidi, and I know that there are several Shanghai Xiao Long Bao that are particularly delicious and some that make foreigners cry. Got it!
If you come to Shanghai, you must try Shanghai Xiao Long Bao. Shanghai Xiao Long Bao, also called Nanxiang Xiao Long Bao, is located in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. This dish is famous for its thin skin, rich fillings, heavy marinade and fresh taste. It is a snack that is loved by customers at home and abroad.
Let’s get straight to the point without saying much.
Jiajia Soup Dumplings
Jiajia Soup Dumplings is a famous soup dumpling restaurant in Shanghai. There are many branches in Shanghai, but the most delicious one is the one on Huanghe Road.
There are quite a lot of types of their Xiaolong, including fresh meat, crab powder, egg yolk, shrimp, etc. The fresh meat has the most authentic taste, the soup is fresh and the skin is thin, and the meat is very chewy.
Address: No. 90, Huanghe Road, Huangpu District (near Fengyang Road)
House Youxian
Wuxian means "delicious" in Japanese. Wuxian is a shop that specializes in selling crab meat dumplings. In addition to the traditional crab meat dumplings (crab meat + pork), and the incredibly luxurious-looking pure crab meat xiao long bao. A whole xiaolongbao is wrapped with a bag full of crab leg meat or crab roe, which is reminiscent of the cosmic siomai in a Chinese Xiaodang family.
Address: No. 2073, Shendu Highway, Zhaojialou, Minhang District
Fuchun Xiaolong
What a Fuchun Xiaolong Shanghainese are in good spirits, so there are many people who have come from thousands of miles away. Finding a seat is a long-term problem. Sharing a table is inevitable, so don’t be too particular about it.
Xiaolong, pork chops, and double stalls are one of the absolute standards. It is best to choose shrimps for small cages. The river shrimps wrapped in the meat are small, but they are not as fresh as sea shrimps. Sweet (Purely my personal opinion, the signature xiaolong and crab noodle xiaolong are certainly not far behind!) That’s right! You must go to the one on Yuyuan Road! It tastes the most right! A branch...just ignore it.
Address: No. 650, Yuyuan Road, Jing'an District
Xishengyuan
Xishengyuan It is an authentic Wuxi Xiao Long Bao. It is the only one in Shanghai. Many foodie friends come all the way to taste it. The Xiao Long Bao soup is very sweet and the meat is very big. It is not the shredded kind. It is really delicious. Good piece of meat! It's really big, and girls will be full after eating four or five!
Address: No. 389, Fengzhuang Road, Jiading District (near Cao'an Road

Does the waiter like it? The attitude towards eating comes from the confidence gained from the good taste. The thin skin of the semi-risen noodles has some skill. The rich soup does not come entirely from the jelly of the meat skin. The crispy base of Gua La has just the right amount of burnt. No wonder it is so arrogant.
The old rule is to pair it with a bowl of Shanghai-style beef soup seasoned with curry powder. Beef, a few slices are enough. The key is to add enough coriander. This is a must-have in old Shanghai breakfast.
Address: No. 385 Dongjiadu Road, Huangpu District
Wanshou Zhai
Wanshou Zhai is a memory of several generations, and the environment I can’t really say it’s good, but the Xiao Long Bao has never changed in taste. It doesn’t have a lot of soup and tastes very real; the Spicy Pork Cold Noodles is a classic taste that every Shanghainese approves of; but the finale has to be the Three Fresh Wontons That’s it. Shanghainese’s love for Kaiyang and pickled mustard is so true and inseparable. Add fresh meat to the filling, and the soup must be seasoned with MSG, a few slices of seaweed, and a spoonful of lard...

Unfortunately, Shanghai does not call it Xiao Long Bao, it calls it Xiao Long Steamed Bun. Most people who call Xiao Long Bao are outsiders. , authentic? Is there a benchmark? Or by taste? The restaurant at the entrance of Guyi Garden in Nanxiang is in a mess, but the Chenghuang Temple is okay, Jiajia soup dumplings, and Wanshouzhai’s steamed buns are not bad
I have been in Shanghai for more than 20 years and have eaten at the Chenghuang Temple twice. The Nanxiang Xiaolongbao is delicious, but the queue is too long.
Hello! I am Mr. Shiyu! "One dish every day, I have an appetite", I am happy to answer your questions!
The Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop you mentioned is the most classic Xiao Long Bao snack in Shanghai. It is located beside the Jiuqu Bridge of the Old Town God’s Temple. Weiweijia won the "Golden Tripod Award" in 1989 and was named "Chinese Famous Catering Store" by the China Cuisine Association in 2001.
Nanxiang Xiaolongbao is famous for its thin skin, rich filling, juiciness, delicious taste and beautiful shape. It adheres to the traditional hand-made skills. The appearance of the Xiaolongbao is bright and translucent, and the closing part is punched with 16 The folds above are shaped like a pagoda.
When it comes out of the cage, it is exquisite and translucent, with a jade-like color and juice that can fill a spoon. It is fragrant and chewy in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste.
There are classic crab roe and fresh meat xiaolongbao, crab leg fresh meat xiaolongbao, traditional fresh meat xiaolongbao and other flavors, suitable for consumers with different tastes
You need to queue up to buy. ! Because it is in the downtown area of ??Chenghuang Temple and is a must-visit place for tourists, the flow of people is very large, the overall environment is clean, and the service is good.
I hope my answer can help you!
Yuyuan Nanxiang Xiaolong Steamed Bun Shop is considered the oldest and most authentic, and it is the one with the longest queue. The taste of other small steamed bun shops in Yuyuan, Guyi Garden and Nanxiang Town is hard to describe. To see if it is a traditional Shanghai steamed bun, just check whether soy sauce is added to the meat filling. The ones that are not put in soy sauce are basically the local flavor of Shanghai, and the ones that are put in soy sauce should be the taste of Suzhou or Taizhou.
It is said that a couple first came from Nanxiang to Shanghai Yuyuan to set up a stall and sell steamed buns. Because they were from Nanxiang, they called it Nanxiang steamed buns and it has been passed down to this day. Nanxiang was not famous for its Xiao Long Steamed Buns at first, but when the Nanxiang Xiao Long Steamed Buns shop in Yuyuan became famous, Nanxiang was full of Xiao Long Steamed Bun shops, and then Xiao Long Steamed Buns became a specialty snack in Nanxiang.
