Shengjianbao!

Many persons know of the famous Shanghai delicacy, xiaolongbao!  They call it soup dumpling!  And they are right for famous, xiaolongbao very delicious!

But Shanghai also famous for other kind of soup dumpling, shengjianbao!  Shengjianbao is like xiaolongbao, but is bigger, dough is thicker and is fried, not steamed!

Fat Yu love fried dumpling!  And many place in Shanghai sells these delicious fried dumpling - can buy on almost every street!  But of course, Fat Yu does not eat just any shengjianbao!  Must have best shengjianbao!  And Xiao Yang make best shengjianbao in Shanghai!  Xiao Yang shengjianbao so delicious, Fat Yu order two order!

My mouth make the water just think about them!  Top has soft and delicate, bottom has golden and crunchy!  Soup inside very delicious, but also very hot!  Fat Yu see many laowai burn the mouth because they don't know how to eat the shengjianbao!  There is old Shanghai technique, but Fat Yu will not give away secret!

Eh?!  Shengjianbao so big!  And you have two order?!

Of course...
