Qiao Ai Lai Lai Xiao Long (Huangpu)

a tiny spot with big flavors! The crab roe xiao long bao 🦀 here is a must-try — thin skin, rich broth, melt-in-your-mouth filling. 😋The queue 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ can get long (we waited ~30 mins), but totally worth it.Simple, local vibe and great value. Perfect for dumpling lovers visiting Shanghai! 🏮✨

The best crab meat dumplings in Shanghai. Recommended for tourists to try. For fresh meat dumplings, I still prefer Yuyuan Nanxiang dumplings. You may need to wait in line for a table at this restaurant in People's Square. The environment and service are so-so. The main thing is that it tastes good. The price is a bit expensive, 100+ per person

Although it is inconspicuous, it is a very good treasure shop. Worth it I went there for two consecutive days to eat. On the first day, I walked here from Sihang Warehouse, but the store was sold out. The next day, I came here immediately after watching a talk show at Huangpu Theater. Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait for a table. In addition to tourists from other places, there were also many locals who patronized.

I've been eyeing this restaurant for a long time. I finally went there today. I specially chose to go there at 2pm because there's no need to queue at this time. I ordered chicken and duck blood soup and crab meat dumplings. I have to say that the taste of this dumpling is really good. The skin is very thin, there's a lot of juice and crab meat inside, and the taste is very fresh. I haven't eaten a dumpling with such a thin skin for a long time. The price of 33/8 is not very cheap. Fortunately, the taste did not disappoint me.

Come to Lai Lai~Take a bite of Mi Dao's super cute must-eat crab roe steamed buns. It is a must-eat hidden in a small restaurant. I bet that when the Shanghai uncle opened the shop, he would never have imagined that it would be so popular. The crab roe and crab paste are handmade every day. Through the open glass window, you can witness the birth process of the steamed buns with your own eyes. The aunt quickly rolls the dough and stuffs the stuffing, pinches the folds in one go, and makes one basket after another without stopping. 🧡 Crab roe steamed buns🧡 and 💛 Crab paste steamed buns💛, each with thin skin and rich fillings, it is really juicy‼ ️The delicious crab meat filling has no odor at all.

It's a good season to eat crabs, and I'm craving for crab paste. Come and eat the special crab paste dumplings. The crab paste in this season is particularly plump, eight in a cage, and shredded ginger is sold separately. The skin is thin and the soup is rich. Take a bite and the golden soup will overflow immediately. The transparent gelatinous crab paste has a dense taste, and it is mixed with fresh meat in a proper proportion, but it doesn't feel greasy. It's really delicious. I like the steaming and boiling casserole the most. The shape of the big wonton looks so full. The crab paste in the wonton filling is clearly visible, accompanied by the unique aroma of crab oil. At this moment, my face is full of "happiness". If you want to eat crab paste, go to a certain courtyard and have a bowl of crab gold for 380 yuan. If you want to eat crab paste, come here to eat a small steamed bun for half a Mao Zedong without feeling sorry.

The steamed buns are very delicious. The buns are freshly made. The crab meat steamed buns highlight the sweetness of the crab meat, while the pine mushroom and fresh meat steamed buns highlight the mellow flavor of the pork. The fresh meat tastes lighter, while the crab meat tastes richer. I didn't order fried skewers, but I was tempted by others eating fried skewers while waiting for the buns. The chicken and duck blood soup is a bit salty, but everything else is pretty good.
