Nan Xiang Mantou Dian in Yu Garden, Shanghai's most famous xiaolongbao landmark

Two Floors, Two Experiences

南翔馒头店在上海豫园的中心。虽然已经有一百多年的历史了,但是每天还是有很多人来。虽然游客很多,但是本地人也常来。

这家店有两层。一楼是外卖窗口,虽然要站着吃,但是价格便宜。二楼是堂食区,虽然价格贵一些,但是可以坐下来慢慢吃。

我和小李去了二楼。虽然等了二十分钟才有位子,但是景色很好。我们点了一笼蟹粉小笼包。虽然一笼要八十块,但是味道真的很棒。

小笼包端上来了。虽然外皮很薄,但是不会破。我用筷子小心地夹起来,咬了一口。虽然我吃过很多小笼包,但是南翔的确实不一样。小李说:「虽然贵了点,但是值得!」
