上海 佳家湯包

Jia Jia Tang Bao is possibly the best XLB in my life. The XLB is only made upon ordering. The skin is neither too thin nor thick, and holds well the flavourful piping hot soup and pork fillings. Well worth the 30 min wait #wewinshanghai

Had to queue for 30 mins only to be told their best sellers - the meat dumplings were sold out. The soup within was so fresh. Much much better than Nan Xiang Xiao Long at Yu Yuan.

Glad that I'm here as this place is top of my list in my Shanghai itinerary.

The meat:skin ratio is perfect; skin is barely there to encase the savory filling. .
GINGER IN VINEGAR (not pictured): This is only available at an additional cost, but worth every cent. Special mention for the vinegar - it has a light fragrance, is not too tart, and compliments rather than overpowers the meat! I can drink the vinegar on its own (and I did ☺️). I love vinegar ❤️

蟹粉鲜肉汤包：高汤鲜甜丰厚 、馅与外皮（好薄啊！）恰到好处 - 不可思议的好吃！😋.
.
生姜丝：吃小笼包绝少不了姜丝和醋； 佳家的醋带有微香，而且不呛鼻 - 必不可缺！
