If you don't know what xiao long bao is by name, just look it up.
It's similar to a lot of other Chinese dumpling-esque morsels of juicy
goodness. Xiao long bao is a Shanghai thing, but ironically (or
typically) it's difficult to find a restaurant that makes them right.
There is a famous place in Old Town, but screw that: no metro access
and mobbed with people. Anyway, the restaurant in the pictures is in
Zhongshan Park and makes them really good. Cheap, and easy to get a
seat most of the time.

Yeah, me too. Went there again for lunch yesterday. But I had a cold last week, and even though I'm over it now, I still can't taste or smell anything. Stupid nose.

I think I just changed my dinner plans.
