1. This is the original shop in Shanghai Yue Yuan. Note that the name Man Tao is specified. So supposed Siu Lon Bao should be one of the buns, shouldn't be in such a thin wrap.
2. Years ago, it expanded to HK.
3. Chopped veggie and dried bean curd 馬蘭頭, HK$32. Finally I got a right dish of this one in HK. It's nicely dried out and aromatic with the finely chopped veggie.
4. Drunken chicken HK$58. Some very nice yellow wine was used. So fragrant. I almost wanna drink that wine sauce.
5. Chicken veggie braised noodle 嫩雞煨麵, HK$36. Nice soup base and noodle too.
6. Siu Lon Bao HK$36. I would prefer this kind of Siu Lon Bao - more down-to-earth bun flavour with nice pork filling. Yet, it's more reasonably priced.
7. Siu Lon Veggie Bao HK$30. Nice veggie aroma and the bun is good too.
8. Veggie, shrimp and salty pork fried rice HK$58. The shrimp was a bit too marinated, but the fried rice was very nice - separated and aromatic but not too dry.
9. Osmanthus steamed cake HK$18. Very nice with the osmanthus aroma.
10. My must try mini sticky rice dumpling in osmanthus sweet soup 桂花酒釀丸子 HK$22. The mini dumplings were freshly made to the order. This is a very important step but yet neglected by many restaurants. That's how the nice strong sticky rice aroma got in the sweet soup and infused with the broken rice wine and osmanthus flavour. That's the essence of this sweet soup.
11. Again this sesame dumplings were made to the order. Nice ginger soup too. HK$22.

of course in Shanghai's Nan Xiang their xiao-long man-tao is actually the widely known xiao-long-bao, and the original
if Shanghai Yue Yuan Nan Xiang Man Tao Shop opens a branch in Bangkok, then Ding Tai Fung can pack and move to Africa; even if Nan Xiang Man Tao Shop doesn't come, Bangkok still hv a good one - Yong Her at BTS Chongnonsi .. 1,000% better than Ding Tai Fung
刚发表了观感又不见,其实看照片卖相相当不错,有机会要试试啦!记得有年我出差到上海,在和平饭店吃了一顿正宗的上海菜,但味道就不及我在香港这边经常去的一品香与雪苑饭店,经过香港这边优化了确实是不同.
Maybe it's because I was fixing up the blog when you tried to post your comments. I also told my business friends from Beijing and Taipei at that time when we had a business trip to Shanghai, that the Shanghai restaurants in HK and Taipei are even better than those locally famous.
TC, I guess Din Tai Feng will go to Africa soon. Yes, Yung Her in Chongnonsi is far better.
Good Shanghai dishes here and price reasonable too.
