Hi, I've been in Shanghai for year and a half now, and looks like I'll be around a little longer... Big fan of the food and arts in Shanghai!

In search of the best dumplings in Shanghai... (part 1)
 
Shanghai is a city known for a special type of dumplings called xiao long bao. The direct translation is small steamed bun, but its a much more delicate type of bun than the typical steamed buns that you might find from a street vendor on the side of the road. And they are quite tasty... :)

Having lived in Shanghai for 2 years now, I'm always in search of the BEST xiao long bao in Shanghai. So over the next few weeks I'm going to be reviewing some of the best dumplings Shanghai has to offer... Of course I do have my incumbent favorite Din Tai Fung, so that will serve as the reference standard for which we compare these different dumpling providers. More details and in-depth dumpling reviews to follow. Stay tuned...!

I've already got a few places in mind, however if you have any suggestions, please feel free to mention it in the comments or send me a message. I'll make sure to include it in my dumpling reviews...

Here is a glimpse of the tiny soup dumplings from Din Tai Fung.  (they are usually sold out of this type of dumpling in their LA store) Xiao long bao reviews and pics to follow soon...
