I was having lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao when I spotted Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包) in the menu. Sheng Jian Bao , is a really delicious distant cousin of xiaolongbao. It is essentially a dumpling containing pork filling and fragrant soup broth just like xiao long bao, but it's encased in a thicker dough and is pan-fried, so the bottom becomes crispy golden brown.

I was having lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao when I spotted Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包) in the menu. Sheng Jian Bao , is a really delicious distant cousin of xiaolongbao.

My first taste of 生煎包 is in Shanghai from one of those roadside food vendors who actually pan-fry these wonderful dumplings on the spot in a shallow pan. Unfortunately, Crystal Jade's take on this bun is not as good as what I had in Shanghai. The soup inside the bun had been absorbed by the bun dough and as a result, it was a little soggy. The dough was also too dense for my liking.張貼
