good xiao long bao must have piping hot gravy lurking inside ready to burn your tongue when you picha lobang the skin. :p

Original xiao long bao is ze bestest - meat filling with a little soup.

All the new variants like cheese, foii gras, soup only, chilli crab all not so exciting.

Many good alternatives to DTF.

Crystal Jade, Paradise Group restaurants, Mayim.

There are also several hawker stalls run by Tiongs selling rather authentic xlb.

I am a food traditionalist too. I despise all the 'novel new tastes' for prata and mooncakes.

This had been going on for ages....not only pau...anything that is mass produced, eat in faith..including the Q like crazy bak kwa during Lunar New Year...

When in Shanghai goggle 佳家汤包. This is the best of the best. Small shops and always pack go around 9-11am and 2-4pm less people. Think there are 3 branches now. I've posted about this before.

The secret lies in the flour and making it have the elasticity and texture of a scrotum.

The soup is frozen and put together with the filling when they wrap the dumpling. When they steam the dumpling, the frozen soup will melt and form the soup inside. To keep everything intact, the consistency, elasticity and freshness of the dumpling skin dough is important. I have had some very badly made ones in singapore when the skin broke as we picked it up from the basket. It means they had been stored in the fridge for too long.

I recommend you also try the 生煎 next time when you are in Shanghai. It's authentic shanghainese breakfast fare. The most famous and best store according to the locals is 小羊生煎. It's really a very clever chinese "fastfood" that's very also delicious if you are into dumplings. The 口感 is excellent since the bottom is semi fried (like 锅贴) and they have pork and soup filling inside like 小龙包. But please share with someone since one portion of 5 is really damn filling.
