Nanxiang Steamed Bun
×Crab Xiaolongbao
Why you must eat itFounded 1900, the byword for xiaolongbao. The skin is so thin the soup drags it down when you lift it. Nick the skin first to sip the soup, then eat the rest. The crab version carries a deep crab scent. Tourist prices and a long queue, but eat one basket at the original once.
The original shop at the foot of the Nine-Zigzag Bridge in the Yuyuan bazaar. Prices rise floor by floor, with the finer crab xiaolongbao served upstairs. The ground floor is a takeaway window where you can buy pork xiaolongbao by the bag and eat as you walk. Nanxiang xiaolongbao spread everywhere from here.
