Whether the dough of the pan-fried buns is crispy enough is definitely the key to deliciousness! This "Old Shanghai Pan-fried Pan-fried Pancake" is not only fried to a very crispy texture, but also has the advantages of Xiaolong soup dumplings. You can drink the soup and your mouth is still watering just thinking about it🤤
The Zhongshan main store is located near Zhongshan Station, about a 7-minute walk. The seats are in the outdoor bar area, with only 6 seats, so many customers choose to take away.
The proprietress is very friendly and enthusiastic. In addition to reminding customers to read how to eat the pan-fried buns before eating to avoid burns, she will also care about whether they taste good after eating.
The fried buns are divided into small portions (4 pieces), medium portions (6 pieces), and large portions (8 pieces). Every 2 pieces can be changed to a different flavor. The flavors include pork, beef, super prawns, and spicy pork (but not available today) spicy pork)
The outer color of each flavor is different. If you order multiple flavors, it will be very colorful and cute when served!
I chose the small portion and chose pork (2 pieces for $50) and beef (2 pieces for $70).
Although there is only one word difference between pan-fried buns and water-fried buns, there are quite a lot of differences in size. If you are not afraid of burning the pan-fried buns, you can even finish them in one or two bites. However, this is strongly not recommended. It will definitely burn to the point of screaming.
The secret to keeping the soup from spewing out when eating pan-fried buns:
- Take a small bite on the thin part of the skin
- Suck up the soup

I forgot this step when eating one of them, and it burst into juice. It was such a waste of soup...
The outer skin is super crispy, and it feels like a lot of oil is added to achieve this crispiness, but it doesn't taste too oily, which is great!
The soup was perfectly locked inside. It was so delicious and delicious that you could drink it as soup. I didn’t want to waste any bit of it. I even drank up the liquid that dripped onto the lunch box.
There is a lot of meat filling, whether it is pork or beef, and the seasoning is also very good. Both flavors are delicious. I can't choose which one is better.
The boss lady will ask if you want chili peppers. The store stir-fries them themselves. It’s very fragrant and spicy enough. It’s recommended for those who dare to eat spicy food!
The only drawback is...it's really expensive...it's probably only a little bigger than a dumpling, but on average it costs $30 a piece, which is not very affordable, but because it's really delicious, I will visit again in the future!
