🌟 Shanghai Pan-fried Soup Dumplings
🌟 A must-visit street food to queue for on Rehe Street
It seems like I’ve never been here without having to wait in line?
This shows how popular the shop really is 👏🏻
Usually, everyone buys a drink next door to enjoy with their meal.
The queueing process is very smooth.
You first place your order and pay.
For takeout, you go straight to the exit to wait.
For dine-in, the owner will guide you to a seat.
To accommodate more customers,
tables for two are usually combined.
There aren’t too few seats, but it can get close to being fully packed inside.
This time, I ordered a small portion (6 pieces) as an afternoon tea snack.
The size is similar to regular soup dumplings.
Each pan-fried bun has a thin skin and plenty of filling.
They're freshly made and come with scalding hot soup inside, so be careful‼️
Unlike regular soup dumplings, there’s an added fragrance from the frying,
and the slightly crispy dough adds to the texture.
Overall, it's excellent!
It’s truly a street food that both adults and kids can enjoy 👍🏻
But be prepared to wait in line and accept sharing tables!
Conclusion: Generally good, the fried rice has wok hei.

Recently, I’ve watched many "Chinese videos" introducing Hu cuisine (Shanghai cuisine). While watching, I began searching to see if there were restaurants in Taiwan offering dishes like lamb drunkard soup, stir-fried thick oil red sauce, Benbang cuisine, and three shrimp or five shrimp noodles. Holding the mindset that many people from military families who came to Taiwan back in the day must have brought culinary skills with them, I found the star of this outing: "Shanghai Dim Sum."
Because it's a small restaurant, there’s not much information updated on Google Maps. Driven by the desire to try something new and my hunger for Hu cuisine, I braved the downpour to visit.
🍚 Shredded Pork Fried Rice:
This dish instantly met my expectations for the restaurant. The soul of fried rice is the wok hei. Good fried rice is usually very simple; the Maillard reaction is applied by heating the iron wok and stir-frying at high heat. As long as you incorporate air and oil into it, the fried rice becomes distinct in each grain. Moreover, the shredded pork and eggs contribute significantly to the texture and flavor layering—definitely recommended!
🥟 Chive Xiao Long Bao:
Standard and good, but nothing special; it doesn’t have that burning sensation on the tongue. Other than that, I don’t have much of an impression—didn’t even remember if there were chives in it.
🍜 Spicy Beef Noodles:
After eating so many dishes, I’ve slowly developed a discerning palate for food. Whether it’s delicious or not can often be determined just by its appearance and scent. "Adding pickled vegetables to the soup before serving beef noodles usually diminishes its tastiness." I believe this is true, regardless of where it’s applied. Furthermore, chives are also something I think should not be added until after savoring the broth first. Additionally, "spicy" beef noodles usually have a fragrant chili oil and a hint of Sichuan peppercorn flavor, but unfortunately, this bowl did not. However, as a Taiwanese take on ramen, I actually find the wide noodles quite satisfying—this bowl can be subjective.
🥤 Soy Milk:
I highly recommend the soy milk; it's rare to see such a large cup of soy milk sold for just 10 NTD. Plus, the bean aroma is robust, but it’s a pity that sugar is pre-added.
As an aside:
Next time, I'll remember to see what others are ordering before figuring out what’s good.
Thanks for reading; this will also be posted on Google Maps.
The side dishes in this store are very rich, with more than 20 kinds. However, the portions of the side dishes are really mini. One person needs to eat two plates to get enough, but it’s okay if you try something new~
𓌉𓇋 Shanghainese braised braised rice bran $40
·Similar to the taste of gluten QQ, but tougher than gluten, the taste is sweet and mouth-watering
𓌉𓇋 Stir-fried green beans $60
·The aroma is not very strong, and the flavor is different from the ones usually eaten outside. It is not my favorite taste, and I may not order it next time
𓌉𓇋 Stinky tofu fried noodles $98
·The original idea was to put a piece of stinky tofu on the noodles, but what was served was stinky tofu chopped up directly and mixed with noodles. It was very special! The smell is not reduced, it is innovative but not weird. I am quite used to eating it myself (the smellier something is, the more I love it)
𓌉𓇋 Mushroom and Chicken Soup $128
·It’s a small cup but has a lot of ingredients. The chicken is tender and not too spicy. The soup is fresh and sweet. Even in the hot summer, I still want to have a cup.
𓌉𓇋 Fresh meat pot stickers $98
·The skin does not feel crispy, but rather soft. Personally, I don’t think it has any special characteristics. I may try other dishes next time
𓌉𓇋 Fried Shanghainese seafood and shrimp (5 pieces) $98
·If you accidentally bite too much, juice will squirt out. I especially like the crispy texture at the bottom. The name of the Shengjian Specialty Store is not a lie.
𓌉𓇋 Bean Casserole Pancake (Red Bean) $148
·This is my favorite of this meal! It's perfect as a snack after a meal. The bean paste is moderately sweet and not easy to get greasy, with a strong sesame aroma. The skin is thin and crispy. One piece after another, the plate is empty before you know it.
🔱 Huxi Old Alley Noodle House 🔱
Today I came to eat Shanghai Benbang Noodles, a time-honored Shanghai noodle restaurant recommended by a friend.
The location is an alley in an alley in Changning District, Shanghai. It's a little crowded, but it still shows old Shanghai.
In addition to seating on the first floor, there is an air-conditioned area on the second floor. But the places are limited, so you need to send a little team.
🔱 Clam and Pork Liver Noodles
🔱 Minced Pork Spicy Noodles
The taste of this noodle is that the noodles themselves are slightly sweet, not too strong, the pork liver is not fishy and delicious, and the freshness brought by the clams is the finishing touch.
Although the minced pork noodles are said to be minced meat, they are actually quite large pieces of meat. Perhaps because of the different toppings, the taste of the noodles is also a little different from the clam pork liver noodles, and is slightly heavier.
🔱 Fried pork chop
My friend's first recommendation was the fried pork cutlet, which I personally thought was pretty good... but not to the point of being amazing. On the contrary, I liked the noodles better.
🔱Mung bean juice
The weather was too hot, so many people ordered it, so I followed suit, but actually the mung bean juice was really good... I personally like the slightly burnt mung bean juice like the Qingzhong Street mung bean soup.
When it comes to hot pot, there are various big brands that come to mind, one of which is "Zhujian". "Zhujian" has recently opened a new brand restaurant, which is also the restaurant I want to share today, "Zhujian Pickled Fish". It is made by a master chef from Shanghai with 30 years of experience, and one of its main features is that the soup is fresher and sweeter than the fish.
✅Shanghai Style Shrimp Fish Soup: Shrimp stock cooked from white shrimp heads, containing fungus, bean sprouts, black snakehead fillet, shrimp roe, nine holes, broad winter noodles, etc. In addition, an extra small bowl of soup will be given. The soup tastes full of shrimp flavor and the contents are also very delicious. However, the biggest disadvantage is that it is too rich and can easily get cloying.
✅Gokudao Mentaiko Milk Fish: The ingredients are similar to Shanghai-style shrimp and fish soup, but the soup base is made of milk soup and cheese is added, and the mentaiko presents a strong Japanese flavor. You can taste the sweetness of mentaiko and the rich aroma of milk in your mouth, but the taste is also heavy, which makes it easy to get cloying.
✅Estimated fresh shrimp slippery: ordinary shrimp slippery paste, with chewy shrimp meat inside.
✅Xiannan Crispy Bone Balls: The balls are very elastic and chewy, and they are wrapped with cartilage to increase the taste. The aroma of the meatballs itself is enough.
✅Baihua stuffed fried dough sticks: The deep-fried fried dough sticks are filled with shrimp paste and have a rich texture. But the big fatal flaw is that the outer fried skin is too greasy, making it impossible to eat too much. You can only rely on the raw onions placed below to relieve your tiredness.
✅Tiehan Xiaosu Pork: The meat is soft and tender, but the meat is thin and small. The quality of each piece is different, some have thin fried skin and some have thick fried skin. The same disadvantage is that it is too greasy and makes you feel nauseous after eating too much.
✅Oiran Xian brewed milk tea: The milk tea has a rich floral aroma and the sweetness cannot be adjusted. After drinking it for a long time, it tastes very similar to Assam milk tea. (People who usually drink sugary or sugar-free drinks will find it very sweet)
————————————
The soup base of Tsukuma Pickled Fish will be amazing at first sip, but it will become cloying after the second sip. The ingredients are delicious, but unfortunately it just doesn't last. Another thing I don’t recommend the most is the fried food. No matter what the item is, it is very greasy and will not make you want to eat it again. After eating it whole, the only advantage is that there are few customers, so it feels more comfortable to eat, and there is unlimited Luoshen tea.
▫️Fish in tomato and sour soup (small portion) 💰328
Drink the soup first and then eat the fish, taste the soup first
The small portion is probably enough for 1-2 people
▫️Griddle fish 💰358 (I forgot to take the photo)
Before ordering, the waiter reminded me that this dish is quite spicy.
It is recommended for those who usually eat spicy food to order more.
The spiciness slowly rises, about medium spiciness.
This dish is very fragrant. I recommend it to friends who usually like spicy food.
｜Fried side dishes｜
▫️Baihua stuffed fried dough sticks 💰99
This recipe seemed boring at first, but I didn’t expect to add flower paste in the middle.
Crispy on the outside, soak in the fish in tomato and sour soup before taking it out
I like it to taste slightly moist~
▫️Brown sugar cake 💰128
This dish is definitely the signature dish of the store! ! recommend
The brown sugar inside is piping hot ~ be careful as it will burn your mouth
But eating 1-2 is enough, the calories are too high 😂

Thanks to Fooday for providing a platform that allows me to earn while eating🤣🤣
May is a month full of gratitude every year🌷🌷
Many people will be grateful to their mother on this special day
Take mom to the restaurant to taste delicious food
This year we are no exception, this time we chose
＜Shifen Porridge Road＞
This restaurant is located on Songzhu Road, Beitun District. They specialize in
I heard that the porridge in Shanghai cuisine is also a must-have!
I took advantage of the opportunity to bring my mother over to taste it today!
The restaurant was crowded when we arrived, so luckily we made a reservation first
We were seated soon after checking in with the counter!
After the waiter took our order, he took advantage of the gap
I went to visit their dining area and took some photos.
Every corner of the restaurant decoration reveals a strong Chinese style
Corner centerpieces, dining room seating, tableware and more!
The overall atmosphere is very relaxing!
Quick snacks were served one after another, and we chatted happily.
Everyday life matters, enjoying delicious food happily!
Every dish is pretty good, only porridge and shrimp balls
What a pity!
The waiter's service is very professional and his attitude is very kind!
The overall dining experience is very comfortable~🥰🥰🥰
This is a store I will visit again and recommend to you~
I put the food reviews on the meal photos!
The taste varies from person to person and personal preferences vary!
Friends who are interested are welcome to try it and have a look!
If you come to Kaohsiung, you must try the pan-fried soup dumplings recommended by many people! As soon as the doors opened, there were a lot of people queuing up... There are queues for both takeout and dine-in, but most of the people wanted takeout. We went dine-in that day and didn't have to wait too long. However, the dine-in discount is one item per person. Items (Actually, you can choose between soup and pan-fried buns)
🥟Fried soup dumplings, small portion (6 pieces) 70$
The soup dumplings are quite small and there is a lot of juice inside, so be careful when scalding them! However, the filling has nothing memorable for me. Instead, it has the taste of sesame seeds on the top of the skin. The skin on the bottom has a really cool texture. It’s so crispy that I want to keep eating it! All in all, I think it’s worth trying something new (you can try the Xiaoya Taro Sago Dew next door), but I won’t want to visit again next time I visit Kaohsiung.
Fried egg fusilli 170$
The portion is just enough for one person. There aren’t many ingredients, but it’s a little lacking. It doesn’t have the flavor of fusilli noodles in my impression (it’s much less than the last time I ate it). I chose the slightly sour and slightly spicy flavor, which is bland, but there’s something on the side. The chili oil and vinegar can be adjusted at any time, which is a plus! The fried eggs on top are delicious, highly recommended, and the fusilli powder tastes good too!
Lemon chicken feet 70$
The portion is quite large and suitable for sharing by many people. It is bone-in. If you mind, please consider it. The overall seasoning is very soothing, but the chemical flavor of lemon seasoning is very strong. It will feel strange after eating.
All in all, it’s a restaurant you can come to if you’ve never had fusilli before and want to try it (because the spiciness and acidity can be adjusted freely)
Fushun Building is located opposite Beitou Cultural Park. Nearby is the famous Wu's Beef Noodle Shop. Although it is relatively close to Beitou Station, it actually takes a while to get there.
The huge Beijing Roast Duck sign is very eye-catching from a distance. Looking in from the entrance of the aisle, you may think it is a very high-end restaurant with an amazing price. In fact, as long as you are willing to walk in, it is not difficult to find its approachable side. .
Beef Burrito
The crust is crispy, chewy and slightly chewy, the beef in sauce is very fragrant, and the gravy from chewing is very appetite-stimulating. Coupled with the crispy and sweet green onions, if there were not other dishes at the back, I might actually order another one.
Beef risotto
The toppings of this risotto are great. The caramelized sauce is a mixture of sweet and salty. The thickening and heat make the texture sticky. The wok is full of flavor without losing the crispness of the vegetables and the softness of the meat. It’s delicious to eat. When the sauce is hot, the sauce flows across the side. When it cools down slightly, it condenses on the edge of the bowl and becomes sweet and smooth, giving it a different flavor.
Shredded ginger intestine
After all, it is a provincial-style restaurant. The seasoning will not be like a guest-style restaurant where the whole family will be reunited with vinegar on the plate. There is a sour taste, but the restraint and etiquette will not exceed the tolerance range of northerners, but the pig Large intestines are available everywhere, and the pig intestines of northern cuisine are also cleaned and prepared to be smooth and smooth. They are not too soft and glutinous and do not hurt your teeth. They are chewed with energy and good amount. Wherever it ends, it reflects freshness, attitude, and fire.
Tomato intestine pot
In fact, like most people, we don’t like eating eggplant very much. The main purpose of ordering this dish is to see how the eggplant is cooked and whether it will appetize even those who hate eggplant. After all, although I have never seen this dish, judging from the relatively high price, this should be a dish that emphasizes kung fu.
I would like to give the store an extra thumbs up here. The store clerk will also remind us that we have already ordered dishes with large intestines. We are afraid that the dishes will be repeated and the experience will not be good. We are just rough people and do not pay attention to this. We immediately made it clear to the store that it does not matter. The waiter will go to the kitchen to order the food knowingly. In fact, I think reminding this point means that the waiter is not only considerate but also knows how to eat.
The dish is served in a hot small iron pot. At first glance, it looks like a greasy three-cup dish. It smells similar, but the color of the eggplant is still very bright, which means it may have been fried before being served. Cooked in a pot, served with a piece of large intestine and eaten with the nine-story pagoda. No wonder people say that the eggplant is oily. It tastes far less greasy than it looks. The large intestine is very crispy, and the eggplant has a glutinous and oily feel with the aroma of the nine-story pagoda. Crispy and sweet, it looks heavy on oil and sauce, but when you put it in your mouth, it is a refreshing mixture of salty, sweet, crispy and soft. It is really an amazing dish.
Kissfish and Amaranth Soup
In fact, with so many dishes, it is reasonable to say that we have reached the limit of our appetite. This dish almost prompted the waiter to order this dish despite the questioning eyes of our companions.
But after taking such a sip after so many dishes that are heavy in oil and sauce, I instantly felt that it was all worth it. The amaranth is fresh and tender, the gourami is sweet, and the thickening is just right. It's like restarting the taste. If I didn't know that my stomach is really full, I feel like I could really eat a few more dishes, but I think such a refreshing ending is perfect. I drank the soup without any burden, it was very comfortable.
The total meal cost was about 1,200. At this price, the food and service experienced were quite value for money.
Although there is no service fee, the service is still very high-quality, the closing is diligent, and the attitude is friendly. Of course, it may also be because it is during the relatively leisurely afternoon period.
But no matter what, the service we are enjoying now is so comfortable.
After the bill was settled, we thought of not ordering the roast duck, which was a mistake.
Come and eat again next time!
