Nanxiang Xiaolong has always been known as the representative of Shanghai Xiaolong, and in August 2014, it was also included in the national intangible cultural heritage. Nanxiang steamed bun shop has a history of more than 100 years, originally called "Changxing Building", in the twenties and thirties of the last century, it has been famous in China. Nanxiang steamed bun restaurant has been rated as "Chinese Famous Snack" and "Chinese Famous Spot" by the China Cuisine Association. Today, Nanxiang Mantou Shop has gone out of the Chinese market and has opened nearly 20 overseas branches in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and many other regions.

The size of the small cage in Nanxiang steamed bun shop is not big, and one bite is not a problem at all. The skin of the xiaolongs produced here is on the thin side, especially at the bottom of the xiaolong, and you can see the meat filling in it. The skin of the fresh meat xiaolong is very tough, and the meat filling is also firm and chewy, not sweet or salty. The soup is mainly fresh and transparent in color. The soup of crab roe xiaolong is slightly less than that of fresh meat xiaolong, but the crab roe is full of flavor, and you can feel it when you take a sip of the soup. The crab roe is almost one-third of the whole mincing, and it is tightly pinched into the mincing so that it doesn't look loose. The price of a cage of fresh meat and crab roe is 32 yuan, considering the sufficient amount of crab roe, it is also worth the money.

Every Nanxiang steamed bun shop will hang a plaque with gold characters on a black background, and the decoration has a bit of a retro atmosphere. Except for the old Nanxiang steamed bun shop in Yu Garden, the rest of the Nanxiang steamed bun shops almost don't have to queue. It should be noted that this main store by the Jiuqu Bridge has recently undergone a large-scale renovation, however, near Gate 5 of Yu Garden, it has opened a second point of sale, so diners who go there on purpose should not miss it.

Although this Nanxiang steamed bun shop in Chenghuang Temple has always been criticized by diners for its lower standard than before, the other branches still maintain good product quality. In addition to the various xiaolong, Nanxiang Steamed Bun Shop also offers many Shanghainese snacks, such as shrimp wontons, pork rib rice cakes, seaweed rice cakes, crab shell yellows, etc., which are also worth trying.
