南翔饅頭店 (上海, 黃浦區)

走上二樓，幸運地找到搭檯的位置。等了好一會兒，包子才蒸好，可見是供不應求。看見同檯的客人都是一人吃一籠，面不改容，一籠有十六隻呀，我們兩人要一籠也要各吃下八隻，天呀！小籠包餡料味道不錯，但我們習慣了吃超薄皮的，總覺得皮很厚很厚。正如吃慣了廣東雲吞，也會覺得上海雲吞皮略厚。入鄉隨俗，趁趁熱鬧，也吃得很開心。

南翔共分三層, 地下的"龍" 長得很, 都是外賣專線, 根本無可能花時間去等, 我們往一樓去, 人依然多, 我們再往上一層, 情況好多了, 由於時間尚早, 我們花了約十分鐘排隊便有位, 多幸運! 二樓的價錢是三層中最貴的, 環境最好, 又有服務員, 一分錢一分貨也, 二樓有最低消費的, 大約是六十元罷!

我們點了一客小籠包, 蟹粉灌湯和一個點心, 嘩! 落單後, 足足等了二十至二十五分鐘, 近乎餓死...

小籠包皮薄餡靚, 肉很新鮮;

蟹粉灌湯其實用了很少料, 出名皆因用飲管吸湯。

同桌的三個人共點了六客小籠包, 好誇張呢!

到此一遊, 總算見識過了。

If a restaurant has only one item on its menu, it'd better be good. That's exactly the case for Nanxiang Steamed bun restaurant. It has been around for hundreds of years and everyday you will find a huge lineup near their fastfood joint inside the Yuyuan Bazaar. If you are too lazy to wait in the lineup, take the staircase upstairs and you will find a much more comfortable cafe serving the same buns (of course for a lot more money).Dumplings such as small steamed meat bun and crab meat xialongbao are definitely must haves. The big steamed meat buns are also quite popular, but I personally found that the paste was a bit too thick to my liking.
