Nanxiang small cage, very famous. As soon as I came to Shanghai, I was recommended, saying that I had not eaten small dumplings, which meant that I had never been to Shanghai. Because of the busy work, there is no time to taste, I know that I am passing by today, and I specially went to taste it.
Shanghainese call buns steamed buns, which is a bit strange, if you call buns steamed buns, then how to call steamed buns? After checking, Nanxiang Xiaolong was originally named "Nanxiang Big Meat Steamed Bun", "Nanxiang Big Steamed Bun", "Guyi Garden Small Cage", also known as "Nanxiang Small Cage Bun" and "Nanxiang Small Cage Steamed Bun", which is a traditional famous product of Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. This small dumpling is known for its thin skin, tender meat, juicy, delicious taste and beautiful shape.
The filling of Nanxiang Xiaolong is made of sandwich leg meat into a meat sauce, sprinkled with only a little ginger, salt, soy sauce, sugar and water; the skin is made from unleavened refined flour.
Today, I just tasted it and talked about my feelings:
1. It's not difficult to eat, the meat tastes just right, slightly greasy, because a review site has a lot of negative reviews, but I eat it is OK.
2. Why is there almost no broth, maybe not a soup bun.
3. It's just not tasty, but the degree of deliciousness is sorry for the price of small dumplings.
4. Many old brands may be more suitable for the taste of people in the era of material scarcity, such as enough oil, enough to be full, high oil, high sugar and high salt. But modern people need a healthier and more refreshing diet, so, the old brand, and less oil.
