Xishengyuan is the ace of the small cage from Wuxi, and the most intuitive difference between Suzhou or Shanghai Xiaolong, that is, Wuxi Xiaolong is a lot burly, and the diameter of Xishengyuan's small cage is about 6cm. The slightly thicker skin is also one of the characteristics of Wuxi Xiaolong, it does not pursue blowing and breaking or thin to translucent, but maintains a firm posture, holding the hot soup to the tongue, sitting upright in the cage, chewing is very tough, and even slightly hard. The seasoning of the filling adds light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, so the color is dull and the taste is thicker and sweet, but for non-sweet lovers, it is still easy to get greasy after eating a few more bites. At this time, it is suitable to serve with a bowl of capsule's wontons or red soup wontons, the former is fresh and refreshing, and the latter is spicy and low-key, and it is best served with vinegar.

Suzhou people's enthusiasm for crab roe dumplings is far less than that of fresh meat dumplings, so this signboard of Wuxi Xishengyuan has also been neglected in Suzhou. However, in terms of ingredients, the proportion of crab meat and crab roe in Suzhou Xishengyuan is lower, the crab flavor is not plump, and it is slightly fishy, and the combination of sweeter seasoning and crab roe also makes many foreign diners feel insensitive.

Xishengyuan is quite popular, and the meal time is basically full, but the service staff are very diligent and tidy, and there are seats to vacate after a while. The interior of the store is antique, bright and clean, and there are no drawbacks other than a slight crowding. Diners need to order at the door, and on the right hand side of the order is the small cage pick-up and take-out area; If you order wontons, you can take the number and wait for the waiter to deliver it to you. There are 10 small cages in Wuxi, you can order one (4) or half (2) for 2.5 yuan each, and 2.8 yuan for each crab roe small cage.
