1. 餛飩一直是老上海的 classic cuisine. With its thin wrapper and rich filling, it boasts a savory broth that leaves a lasting impression. The commonality of this dish, reminiscent of the warmth of home, has integrated into the hearts of every Shanghai local, much like the emotional attachment to dumplings in the north. Every nook and cranny of Shanghai's streets offers both large and small dumplings, which the locals are particularly particular about. Large dumplings, heavy on the filling, serve as a substantial meal, while the small, skinny-wrapped ones, often accompany by a steamed bun, act as a snack to tide over hunger.2. As the temperature fluctuates dramatically with the coming of autumn, there's nothing more comforting than a steaming bowl of dumplings. Recommended Restaurant: Shengxin Tea RestaurantSignature Dish: Crabmeat DumplingsRecommendation: Nestled at the intersection of Shun Chang Road and Yong Nian Road, this unassuming store has been around for over 20 years. Its taste is cherished by many資深 diners. It's said that the aunts in the store wake up at 5 am every morning to make thousands of dumplings. More Specialties: Pork and Vegetable Dumplings, Pork Dumplings, and芝麻餃子.Review: The business is booming, and the store is small. I ordered the family package and some small dumplings. I prefer the pork and vegetable dumplings for their authentic Shanghai flavor. Additionally, you can buy the pre-made pork and vegetable filling to make your own dumplings at home. I appreciate these small shops for their affordability and value. It's great to be crammed into a tiny store. Address: 528 Shun Chang Road, Luwan District (near Yong Nian Road)3.
