hey, thanks for your reply but im looking for xiaolongbao only. shuijiao is common, ntuc has tons of them.

 

 

if not just walk into a hawker/restaurant and order even if they dun usually sell it in frozen form, just a special order

[Kspchew]

Shanghai cuisine is indeed considered southern China. Northern China cuisine is mainly

包， 面条， 饺子，醬牛肉

 

Speaking of 小龙包, I going to have some tonight, here in Shanghai.

look Mr know-it-all-and-obviously-don't, if you bothered to read in between the lines, you will know that i was saying in the first place that eateries that offer northen chinese cuisine have a high chance of selling xiaolongbaos. If you want to be a frog in the well, be my guest. it is the equivalent of saying that most indian muslim eateries should sell bundung. this had nothing to do with geography smart alec. it is a fact that most eateries locally often offer a smorgasbord of delicacies that often do not fit within geographical boundaries.

 

and in any case, Shanghainese cuisine is considered northen chinese cuisine if we consider obvious dietary and preparation differences, northen and southen.

Look who's talking ? :) Just be happy in your own presumptions for all I care.

 

Shanghainese is Southern Chinese cuisine, and as another bro has rightfully pointed out, Northern Chinese cuisine are 包子，馒头，面条，膜，大饼，... and tend to be more starchy. Southern cuisine are more delicate, like siew mai, xiaolongbao -- more liao" than skin. Perhaps the "Northern Chinese" places you are referring to, are Southern Chinese or you enjoy Northern Chinese style, thicker skin and little liao.

 

For the TS, if I remember well, there is a place in Tanjong Pagar that serves authentic Shanghai Xiaolongbao and you can order and "tabao" frozen ones. Now you remind me of going back there again sometime.

I bought one before, it's clearly written as xiao long bao, but i can't remember from which NTUC. the one I frequent is an NTUC Xtra in Jurong Point, near my house.

Don't act smart lah.

 

Any Chinese cuisine with rice is considered southern.

 

Any Chinese cuisine with bread and noodles are considered northern.

 

It is geography. Rice doesn't grow in northern china as the paddies will freeze 6 months of the year.

 

Traditionally any region south of chang jiang (yangtze river) is considered southern.

Along Thomson Road towards City, after passing United Square on your right at about 100m on your left side, there is a row of shophouses with a particular shop selling Tiong Bahru Bun. You may negotiate with them for your XiaoLongBao special requirements. Cheers.
