Nanxiang Steamed Buns Restaurant Review

As I said in my previous post The Inventive Shanghai Soup Dumpling, the next few posts are about my food adventures through China and Taiwan.  We are still at Nanxiang Steamed Buns Restaurant in Shanghai, China.  This meal, you might say, was "epic" since we waited in all the wrong lines and ended up spending a pretty penny for all the delectable dishes, and left stuffed to the rim.

The review: a repeat buy, over and over again.  This place was really good, and the winding lines show it.

Photos with some commentary.

 This was a really well made BBQ pork bun.

This shrimp toast was out of this world!  I don't eat much fried food, as you know, but this was doubly amazing because they were shrimp balls with soup inside!!  These people know how to give little surprises in delicious ways.

You will see the glistening soup inside!  One of my favorites.  Flavors of toast vs. shrimp so balanced, salt and fried just right.

This is a soup that was very light.  Lots of deep flavor but the broth was cooked so clean, as you can see the bok choy pretty clearly!

These dumplings are stuffed with glutinous rice and meat filling.
