A small shop for sheng jian bao, Shanghai-style buns pan-fried until the bottoms crackle. Bite in carefully, because the hot broth comes first. Besides the classic pork there are shrimp, spicy mala pork, truffle and crab-roe fillings. The Michelin Guide lists it as an inexpensive street-food stop. It is a snack or light meal, not a sit-down feast.
