We
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
visiting
@shanghai_taste2021
on
the
top
floor
of
the
@emporiummelbourne
food
court
for
a
delightful
brunch
experience.
The
interior
of
the
restaurant
immediately
captured
our
attention,
and
as
we
gazed
through
the
window,
we
were
captivated
by
a
skilled
chef
crafting
soup
dumplings
with
precision.
Each
dumpling
was
meticulously
filled,
and
the
presentation
was
impeccable.
Here
are
my
top
three
recommendations
from
this
visit:
Xiao
long
bao,
signature
thin
skin,
the
first
bite,
reveals
the
subtle
aroma
of
the
chicken
bone
broth,
which
imparts
a
comforting
and
savoury
essence
to
the
filling
The
broth
inside
the
dumpling
is
light
yet
rich,
with
a
hint
of
chicken
flavour
that
elevates
the
overall
experience.
As
you
take
a
small
sip
of
the
broth
before
biting
into
the
dumpling,
you're
greeted
with
a
soothing
warmth
that
complements
the
tender
meat
filling.
The
sensation
is
reminiscent
of
sipping
a
comforting
bowl
of
chicken
soup
on
a
chilly
day.💯
"Shanghai
Pan
Fried
Pork
Buns,"
also
commonly
referred
to
as
"Sheng
Jian
Bao."
These
delightful
buns
are
a
staple
of
Shanghai
street
food
and
have
earned
a
reputation
for
their
succulent
filling
and
unique
preparation
method.
Juicy
minced
pork,
fragrant
scallions,
and
a
deliciously
savory
broth
that's
locked
inside
the
bun,
pan-frying
imparts
a
crispy,
golden-brown
bottom
that
adds
a
delightful
crunch
to
each
bite,
contrasting
with
the
tender
texture
of
the
bun.
Shanghai
Salt
and
Pepper
Crispy
Pork
Ribs
with
Garlic-The
succulent
pork
ribs,
tender
on
the
inside
and
crispy
on
the
outside,
perfectly
absorb
the
salt
and
pepper
seasoning,
creating
a
savory
and
slightly
spicy
kick
that's
elevated
by
the
aromatic
undertones
of
garlic.
The
balance
between
the
savory,
slightly
salty
notes
and
the
kick
of
the
pepper
is
a
masterpiece
in
Shanghai
cuisine.
