Tainan's version of Din Tai Fung: Shanghai-style soup dumplings

#100 Ways to Travel #Shanghai Delicious Xiaolongbao I don’t know when it started to be called #Tainan Din Tai Fung? When I was in junior high school and lived on Yunong Road in the East District, I would go to this restaurant. The soup dumplings they sold at that time were delicious and inexpensive, and the restaurant was always packed with customers. Even today, business is still booming. Xiaolongbao soup dumplings are the signature dish and cost $110 for a basket of 7. They have a thin skin, rich fillings and lots of soup. You have to use a spoon to scoop them up, otherwise the juice will spray out when you take a bite! Dip it in some shredded ginger, vinegar and soy sauce, and it really tastes as good as its reputation says. If one basket of xiaolongbao is not enough to fill you up, people usually order a basket of steamed dumplings for $110, or shrimp and red oil wonton for $110, and a bowl of hot and sour soup for $40. Red oil wonton has a special Chinese medicine aroma and is moderately spicy; hot and sour soup, on the other hand, is light and can be used to relieve greasiness? I see many people recommending the crab roe soup dumplings, which have a stronger and more fragrant taste than the xiaolongbao soup dumplings in this store, but are also more expensive, at $190 per basket. There are also some cooked food and special dishes. You can imitate going to Din Tai Fung and order a piece of Shanghai fried spareribs for $70 to see if it tastes similar. Conclusion, this is a fast-food noodle restaurant with a large storefront and many seats. Although it is crowded, the dishes are served and the table turnover rate is fast, and there is also a parking lot next to it. Although the prices have increased significantly compared to before, they are still considered cheap for tourists! #Shanghai Good Taste Xiaolongtangbao Business hours: 1030-2200 Address: No. 26, Dong'an Road, East District, Tainan City 701 #Find food in Tainan alleys
