RSSThe Juiciest Bao Ever (上海小杨生煎包)
 (Click the above to view 5 pictures. Best viewed with Internet Explorer 7.)While I have been to Shanghai many times, this is the first time I had the opportunity to savor this street food and Shanghai delicacy. If you haven't had sheng jian bao, just think of them as a bigger version of Shanghai Xiao Long Bao--with juicy and savory broth inside the dumpling, topped with sesame seeds and chopped scallion--but the bottom of the sheng jian bao is pan-fried to crispy goodness. It has the soft "steamed" texture (the dumplings are first steamed and then pan-fried), meaty pork filling that oozes out the tastiest and juiciest broth, with a crunch due to the crispy bottom. They are absolutely delectable! So good...  If you go to Shanghai (check out my Shanghai travel pictures here and here), please don't miss out this legendary street food. Expect a long line of hungry patrons, but you will be rewarded with the freshest, hot-of-the-frying-pan sheng jian bao. Located in Wujiang Road, you can also sample out other Shanghainese/Chinese street food such as Xiao Long Xia (crawfish), grilled skewers of meat, seafood, and other small eats (小吃).Shanghai is definitely one of my favorite dining towns. 小杨生煎馆 吴江路60号 60 Wujiang Road Shanghai PS: Just noticed that there is a typo on my cover picture "JUICIEAST" - hah!
