Speaking of Shanghai's specialty snacks, locals will definitely count them on their fingers-East Shanghai Old People's Room Cake, Wufangzhai Dim Sum, Pigeon Egg Round Seed, Vegetarian Bao, Chicken Sauce Pan-Fried Bun, Crab Shell Yellow, Nanxiang Xiaolong Bao, Sixi Roasted Bran, Four Seasons Cake Ball, Osmanthus glutinous Rice Sugar Congee, Open Onion Oil Noodles, Five-Spiced Beans, Toffee Candy, Pear Cream Sugar, Braised Raw Stir Saute, etc. However, among the above-mentioned Linlin, the one that everyone is most familiar with is probably Shanghai Xiaolong Bao.
Shanghai Xiaolongbao, in terms of authenticity, belongs to Nanxiang Xiaolong. It is a traditional famous place in Nanxiang Town, Jiading County, Shanghai City. It has a history of more than 100 years. The original founder was Huang Mingxian, the owner of Rihuaxuan Dim Sum Store. Later, his son opened a branch in Yuyuan Old City God Temple. Today, Yu Garden is one of Shanghai's important tourist attractions. It attracts countless tourists with its traditional historical and cultural atmosphere, while Nanxiang Xiaolong attracts countless diners from all over the world with its unique delicacy. Therefore, some people laughed and said that when visiting Shanghai, you must visit Yuyuan, and when visiting Yuyuan, you must try Nanxiang Xiaolong.
It is not easy to define whether it is Shanghai or Hubei dumplings, because it is completely made of Shanghai Xiaolongbao. The only difference is that there is no sugar or sesame in the meat filling, but it is not made in Hubei either. Because there is no onion, garlic and pepper water in the filling, it is generally more in favor of Shanghai. Let's just call it Shanghai Xiaolongbao. As for whether it is authentic or not, I don't care, as long as my friends in Shanghai don't take pictures of me.
