The scene

Yang's Fried Dumplings (小杨生煎) flagship on Wujiang Road Food Street, Shanghai

Everyone Says Go to Yang's

来上海之前,很多朋友告诉我一定要吃生煎包。小李说小杨生煎最好吃。网上的评论也说这是上海必吃的小吃。听说每天都有很多人排队。

我到了吴江路,发现朋友说得对——门口排了很长的队。旁边一个阿姨告诉我:「不用担心,他们说队伍走得很快。」我问她:「您觉得这家店怎么样?」她说:「我认为这是上海最好的生煎。」

排了十分钟,终于到了。服务员说今天的蟹粉生煎特别好,推荐我们试试。我点了一份鲜肉生煎和一份蟹粉生煎。

吃了第一口,我终于明白大家为什么都说好吃了。底部金黄酥脆,里面的汤汁很鲜。我告诉小李:「你说得对,这家确实最好吃。」小李笑着说:「我早就告诉你了!」
