Nanxiang Steamed Bun is a franchise from Shanghai and has won numerous award over the years. Their speciality Xiao Long Bao is supposed be the most authentic Shanghai Styled.
"Shanghai-style xiaolongbao originated in Nanxiang, a suburb of Shanghai in the Jiading District. Two specialist xiaolongbao restaurants are often regarded as the most authentic.[citation needed] One is Nanxiang Mantou Dian (Nanxiang Bun Shop), which derives from the original store in Nanxiang but is now located in the City God Temple precinct. It is famed for its crab-meat-filled buns." (1)
King Size Nanxiang Crab Roe Steam Soup Bun (SPD$6.80) did not blow my mind or make me go Wow! But the crab roe was plentiful and tasty. The novelty of using the straw to drink the soup is interesting too!
The only complaints I have is all those extra charges on my bill from peanuts to wet towel. I guess I have to use to the Asian restaurants practice.
