A steamed stuffed bun shop with a history of a hundred years. At noon, my classmates invited me to dinner. We were seated at Zhang Bao Pu in the Chinese Baroque neighborhood of Daowai District. This store is at the intersection of Nan Erdao Street and Nan Xun Street. Entering the store, you can feel the lively atmosphere and the lobby is already full of customers. The classmate ordered two dishes: Guobao Pork and Sha Gan, both were good. I ordered six steamed buns, two of each of the three fillings, and they all tasted delicious.

Zhang Bao Pu is located on the edge of the Baroque District in Laodaokou. As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I saw that it was full of people. I just arrived there at 12 o'clock, and I had to take a number. Fortunately, it has two floors, so it was relatively fast to get my turn. Their buns must be ordered at least six, but you can order two of each flavor. I ordered the signature pork ribs, shrimp and tofu stuffing. In addition, I ordered a hot dish of cumin lamb shoulder and a bowl of red bean porridge. The cumin lamb shoulder came first, with a slightly sweet and spicy taste. It was fried with the crispy bones on the lamb shoulder. It was actually very delicious, but the portion was too big! I was alone, and I was half full after drinking the bowl of red bean porridge. Later, I ate 2 more buns, pork ribs and shrimp. I should say that the taste was very good, but it was too much and I was really full. Later, I packed all of them and became my afternoon tea, dinner and midnight snack. The tofu buns were also delicious!

We ordered scallion tofu and pot-wrapped pork, as well as a combination of three-piece buns, spare ribs buns, three-fresh buns, and mushroom buns. As one of the century-old shops in Harbin, Zhang Baopu's food is also very distinctive. It mainly sells various types of buns, with the main product being spare ribs buns. There are also many other buns, such as three-fresh buns and mushroom buns. But Zhang Baopu does not only sell buns, but also many other distinctive Northeastern dishes. Such as fried mushrooms and pot-wrapped pork. There are a lot of buns in a basket, and the Northeastern dishes are very generous, so if you don't want to be full with just one kind of bun, you can choose a double or triple combination of buns. The scallion tofu in the Northeast is different from the southern ones. It is the scallions and tofu that have been mixed. You just need to pick it up and eat it. No need to mix it yourself. Zhang Baopu's pot-wrapped pork is also good. According to my classmates, it is also one of the more famous pot-wrapped pork shops in Harbin. In addition, we ordered a combination of spare ribs buns, three-fresh buns, and mushroom buns. I personally think the best is the three-fresh bun, followed by the mushroom bun. I don't particularly like the main pork rib bun, which feels too greasy. I asked the Harbin people who were traveling with me, and they all said that although the pork rib bun is the main dish, many people don't like it very much. They all recommend mushrooms and three fresh buns. Because the portions of Northeastern dishes are very generous, we only ordered three dishes and it was a bit difficult for several of us to eat, and we didn't finish almost all the dishes. So it is not recommended that you order too much. In short, there are many kinds of buns and the price is cheap, which is suitable for people who love buns to try.

Although this shop specializes in baozi (steamed buns), I still have to complain: the buns are so big and ugly. The steamed buns often seem half-soaked in the filling, and since they're not risen, they're flat on their sides. Ugly, ugh! The taste is okay, but those who prefer baozi wrappers might be put off. Baozi averages 3-6 yuan each. A table of 6 starts at 6, and you can mix and match 2/2/2. Boss, can't you make the buns smaller? Tourists who come here for the reputation eat two and can't finish the third, let alone order dishes! The dishes are very affordable, and you can order two cold dishes. The waiters are also very kind, noting that you can order one cold dish. The cold dishes are quite good, with the tiger skin green peppers being incredibly spicy and the dried tofu being thick and flavorful. The price of the sweet and sour pork has increased, apparently to 43 yuan, but the portion is still quite large, and the starch filling is substantial, resulting in a rich, sweet and sour taste.

The texture is thin and the meat is rich and mellow. Each bun has a piece of crispy ribs. The filling and onion seasoning complement each other perfectly. It tastes even better when it's freshly made. It's perfect to have a bite at Zhang Bao Pu when you go to Harbin.

It was delicious. I bought the popular tofu buns, pork ribs buns, and shrimp buns. The pork ribs buns were delicious. I ate the tofu buns after the pork ribs buns, so I didn't think they were as delicious. I also had the cold noodles, which were delicious. However, the waiter's memory didn't seem very good. He had to repeat some things several times.
