Out of Town: Shanghai, China


By Melbourne's bargain foodie (Visit website)



I was in Shanghai for a couple of days, pleasantly surprised how much far it has come since my last trip there...


Outside Shanghai's old town

Shanghai Old Town- Swamped with tourist and tourist goodies

Yue Yuen Garden, Shanghai

Roasted Chinese Chestnut: A steal @ around AUD$ 2.5 /500g

The World Famous Xiao Long Bao Restaurant:
Nan Xiang Steamed Bun Restaurant

Nan Xiang steamed bun restaurant is very famous and some considered it to have the best XLB (Xiao Long Bao) in the world. I am sure some would concur, but heck, the XLB I had that night was freaking wicked, especially the ones with crab roe, and the funky looking tang or soup bun- it was out of this world. The soup bun had a straw attached to it, which allowed diners to sip on the rich soup stock.

It was a memorable experience, and because of the uniqueness of some of the XLB, I think it was better than Hutong's ( I do have to point out that the pork XLBs are pretty much the same as the ones at Hutong! Great job Hutong Melbourne!)

Note: The Nan Xiang yu yuen branch, has two levels, 1st level does takeaway and the second level does full table service.
