When it comes to "which xiaolong is the best in Shanghai", there will probably be a big controversy, but when it comes to popularity, Wanshou Zhai may not be able to reach it. Wanshouzhai has a history of more than 60 years, and like Youyi Village, it is a state-run snack bar. For many old Shanghainese, Wanshou Zhai bears their first memories of Xiaolong.

No matter when you go to Wanshou Zhai, there will almost always be a long queue in front of the door, even after paying for the number, it is difficult to squeeze into the small shop, at this time, taking away will be the only option, if you don't want the small long to spoil the taste, then the bald head fried not far next door is the best place to go. The bald raw fried beef soup with the xiaolong is not bad at all.

Wanshou Zhai's small cage is very small, and one or two are not a problem. The skin of the fresh meat cage is thin and tough. The minced meat is tender, whitish in color, and looks very refreshing. The soup is mainly fresh and thick, not salty or sweet. The stability of the products is the biggest problem with the small cages of Wanshou Zhai, they are different in size and the amount of soup is also different. Sometimes, the small cage will also stick to the filaments of the steamer, which need to be removed in advance before the mouth is lowered.

It is worth mentioning that the noodles of Wanshou Zhai are also very popular with diners, and the price of ten yuan can fill the stomach, which is very cost-effective.
