When it comes to shanghai's well-known local snacks, it is certainly indispensable to the name of Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed buns. Every time you pass by Yu Garden, you can always see many people queuing up at the entrance of Nanxiang Mantou Shop, just to taste this "world cage, Shanghai taste".
Today, Xiaobian heard that the Nanxiang Mantou Shop in Yuyuan Garden opened a new store near the World Avenue subway station, so I decided to find out and fill my stomach by the way.
As soon as I left the subway station, I saw this newly opened store, but what surprised Xiaobian was that the style of this store was completely different from the traditional Chinese style of Yu Garden, more like a Japanese simple style.
The shop is almost only off-white and flax green two colors, table and chair decoration are also wooden style, the overall style is more youthful, Xiaobian personally still like this style of decoration.
Perhaps because of the weekdays, there are not many customers in the shop, but there are still a few tables where Uncle Haiye and Aunt Hai are eating and chatting, which is very leisurely and enjoyable. Of course, there are also young people like Xiaobian who come alone to taste the small steamed buns. Compared with the noise and bustle of Yu Garden, the dining environment here is more quiet and comfortable.
The walls of the store display the century-old history of Nanxiang Mantou Shop, using photos, texts and hand paintings to tell diners about the origin, development and characteristics of Nanxiang Mantou, and it is still very interesting to take a look after eating.
It is worth mentioning that the kitchen in the store is open, you can directly see the process of chefs making Nanxiang small dumplings through the glass, you may wish to try to learn the chefs' skills home.
Okay, let's get down to business. Because I was a little hungry, Xiaobian directly ordered a two-person set meal, including a cage of fresh meat steamed buns, a cage of shrimp fresh meat steamed buns, a bowl of snow vegetable yellow fish noodles, a sausage bacon rice, a Shanghainese spring roll, the price is also in the early 100s, or very cost-effective.
First of all, the shop's signature Nanxiang small cage, the traditional fresh meat small cage skin thin meat tender juicy water, first bite a small bite, suck the soup off, and then put the ginger shredded vinegar in the dip, the whole put in the mouth, sour with fresh and sweet, worthy of the world's famous snacks.
There is not much difference in the taste between the shrimp cage and the ordinary fresh meat cage, but the shrimp inside make the whole small cage steamed bun fresh. Compared with the small cage steamed buns that are usually eaten, the biggest feature of the Nanxiang small cage steamed buns is that they are not greasy, and Xiaobian does not feel uncomfortable when he eats two cages alone.
Next, try the snow vegetable yellow fish noodles in the shop, Xiaobian has always been a lover of yellow fish noodles, and this experience did not step on the thunder. Snow vegetable yellow fish noodles can be said to be decent, the soup is very fresh, the noodles are also very chewy, and the amount of yellow fish meat and snow vegetables is also very large.
After eating the noodles, let's eat some more. Sausage and bacon rice is also a famous snack in Shanghai, and as soon as the bacon rice in this restaurant is served, you can smell the aroma of sausage. Unsurprisingly, the sausages are very flavorful, the only fly in the ointment is that the taste of sausages and bacon does not melt well into the rice.
Finally, two Shanghainese spring rolls will be finished. Shanghainese spring rolls are also a special snack of Shanghai Bengang, the skin is fried very crispy, it tastes crunchy, and the filling inside is also very fragrant and fresh, but it is slightly oily.
Due to the limited amount of food, there are many specialties such as crab yellow fresh meat small cage, Nanxiang dried shell gold silk cup, scallion oil noodles, osmanthus wine stuffed yam and other specialties on the menu, Xiaobian did not have the opportunity to taste one by one, next time to make up.
Interestingly, Xiaobian also interviewed several Shanghai uncles who dined in the restaurant, who said that they liked to eat Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed buns when they were young, and they could ride dozens of kilometers from Pudong to eat at that time. Now that I am older, I will come to the store every week with my old friends to drink tea, eat small steamed buns, and reminisce about the past, which has become a daily leisure.
It can be seen that the enduring charm of Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed buns. If you want to find the taste of Nanxiang Xiaolong steamed buns in your childhood, and don't want to queue up in Yu Garden, you may wish to come to this branch to experience it.
