Xiao Long Bao is a must-have for me in every Shanghai trip. I love going around the city to try different ones, from restaurants to cozy family-owned shops. This post dates back to my recent trip in May as I have decided to create a list just for XLBs.
The 全家福小笼 was a combination of the 3 different flavours that they had; original, salted egg yolk and minced crab meat with crab roe. Sounds cute and heart warming, especially when I had it with my family. Priced at RMB24 for 12 XLBs (4 of each flavour), the dumpling skin was thin but still, each dumpling was generously filled with soup melted from the solid meat aspic. As a seafood lover, I enjoyed the minced crab meat with crab roe flavour the most, also because it added a savory freshness to the pure meat flavour!
