Hangzhou Xiao Long Bao / 杭州小籠湯包

On my way back from visiting the Chushoku Kiendo Hall, I noticed a crowded shop, so I decided to visit.
I'm grateful that the menu has Japanese translations so I can understand what it's like.
When ordering, you just add a ︎ to the menu you want from the order list, so there's no problem even if you don't speak the language.
I ate xiao long bao, which are standard Chinese dishes, stinky tofu, fried dumplings, and sesame mochi for dessert, and they were all very delicious.

When I passed by the store just before it opened at 11: 30am, there was a long line, so I instinctively lined up to get in, which turned out to be a great decision.
To order, look at the menu with photos, write the quantity on an order form, hand it over, and then go to pick up cutlery such as chopsticks and astragalus, small plates, condiments (spicy ginger, cilantro, etc.), vinegar and chili oil, etc.
There is a refrigerator with side dishes next to it.
You can take what you like and pay for it later.
Cucumbers were a popular side dish, and everyone in the store was picking them up.
Regarding ginger, when I eat xiaolongbao in Japan, I had the impression that it would only come with a little bit of ginger, but other customers put vinegar in a small plate first and then took a heaping amount of ginger on top.
I imitated what I saw and ate it on a xiaolongbao, and it was delicious! ! !
This xiao long bao topped with a heaping amount of ginger is unforgettable.
The xiaolongbao itself was brought piping hot in a steamer,
Because of its small size, you don't have to suck the soup through a straw.
I took the plunge and tried to eat it in one bite.delicious!
I also ate radish mochi, and the cost was reasonable.
It's a store that you can easily visit.

We dined there as a family of four in March 2019.
It's next to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, which everyone has definitely visited. It was very crowded, probably because it was located in such a prime location. While we were lining up, we were given a side dish, and we all debated which one to eat beforehand. My stomach growled. I was able to enjoy the famous xiao long bao and various types of shumai. The inside of the restaurant is clean, but it has the clutter of a dim sum restaurant, which I like.

Been coming here since I was a child, flavors and food are consistent~ I always stop by here when I have a chance

內用竟然沒有開冷氣！開吃不到10分鐘已汗如雨下、熱到頭有點暈，後來向服務員反應才開始有微涼感
餐點價格過高，只能玩笑的說可能大部分是花在名氣上，8年多前吃過到現在好像都沒什麼進步，地面還是有些油油黏黏，份量少、口味偏重鹹，真的還不如去吃鼎泰豐。

The wait isn't long, there are Korean-speaking staff, and they're kind and delicious!

800元兩人吃的滿足，整體上滿意。
小菜很多選擇；湯包豬味偏重，反而大推蒸餃。比起小籠包燒賣口感也很好。
逐臭人士推薦嫩又臭的臭豆腐 ，牛腩湯180只有一小碗但是很鮮美。
之前試過鍋貼很油這次就跳過了

抱歉, 吃到一半才想到要拍照! 各種餐點我都覺得滿好吃的, 個人喜愛紅豆, 豆沙鍋餅很推, 鍋贴不會油膩腥口, 小朋友很愛, 獅子頭湯鮮, 肉丸也有適合的鬆緊 不柴不油，的確是值得推薦的店。唯一考量的是價格…排除價格因素 相當值得來試試!

1. 小籠湯包：內餡肉質綿密細緻，但沒有湯汁，個人覺得沒有湯汁的湯包是失去靈魂的。
2. 牛肉捲餅：牛肉好吃、醬汁一流，但餅皮雖有焦色卻沒有一絲絲外酥的口感，面皮嚼起有點麵粉味。

結論：以上兩者細部分析都有很多優點，但因為缺點也很明顯，綜合起來不值得這個定價。若有機會去高雄吃吃看「厚得福」去比較就知道了。價格也只有2/3。

以上是個人口味分享，不代表絕對。

小籠湯包+酸辣湯（套餐）Uber ears$250

小籠湯包
有8入，皮薄湯飽餡好吃
薑絲給很多醬油清、辣油香

個人喜好：古北饕、濟南鮮湯包>津富倉、杭州>鼎原豆漿>東門豆漿>上海邵師傅湯包>籠飽包

酸辣湯
有白筍子清脆、豬血、蛋滑嫩、香菜、木耳、胡椒、豆腐、豬肉絲
相較八方雲集的酸辣湯，料滿少的，豬肉比較柴、木耳口感沒那麼Q彈、胡椒辣味比較重

就還行～
米其林推薦餐廳，人很多，外國觀光客也慕名而來，本來說要等20分鐘結果叫號比預期還早就過號了…又再等了一陣子才進去。

價位還可以接受，但是餐點都沒有特別驚艷，點了原味小籠包、菜肉蒸餃、蟹黃蝦仁燒賣，好像都還好…然後奶黃包千萬不要誤會是流沙包，4顆白白圓圓的很可愛，但是一口咬下去頗失望哈哈哈，也聽到隔壁桌跟我們一樣有誤會哈哈

War alleine da gegen 15: 00 Uhr, deshalb keine Wartezeit gehabt. Wie informiert, Besteck und Getränke sind Self-service und Bestellung geht mit Haken auf Menükarten. Bilder sind sehr hilfreich, wenn du kein Chinesisch lesen kannst. Schmeckt alles super und Preis auch ok, günstiger als Din Tai Feng.

常需排隊的老店，招牌小籠包好吃也不貴，吃得出內餡的細膩和新鮮；而酸辣湯也是每次來的必點，料多又夠味 (非常喜歡) 。

必點之二的招牌排骨蛋炒飯鍋氣厚、粒粒分明很有香氣，是老店口味中值得推薦的一品!

The best Xiao Long Bao I've had in Taipei so far! Very reasonable prices and high quality food! You'll have to wait in line for a bit but it's totally worth it.

1、地址在大安區杭州南路二段19號，金甌女中附近；上午11點營業到晚上11點，每天營業。
2、小籠湯包不錯，價格又比鼎泰豐略低一些；特別推薦角瓜蝦仁湯包，角瓜清甜，與蝦仁完美的結合，口感清新脫俗。
3、日本旅遊指南有介紹，所以外國旅客不少；之前是路旁的店面加上搭出來的棚子，搬到現址後價格略微提高。

需要登記候位，隨時注意跳號，人很多尤其是非常多觀光客，當天排了超過一小時，餐點的部分小籠包真的很還好，皮在摺痕的部分吃起來有點硬，個人認為還是鼎泰豐的小籠包厲害，鍋貼吃起來不錯非常大顆，只是一顆20元真的不便宜，個人很喜歡蟹黃蝦燒賣，內陷有Q勁蝦子也大隻，不過只會想來吃一次因為價格不便宜而且餐點表現普普，重點是要排隊排好久。

週日下午兩點人潮很多
叫號算快
等20號約等30分鐘

絲瓜蝦仁湯包、原味小籠湯包、蝦餃很好吃
酸辣湯比八方雲集口味還差一點，又比較小碗$50
烏梅汁有濃濃中藥味
牛肉捲餅略乾

Overrated. The food is no more special than any other normal dim sum places. The service is quick but the line is too long.

Very disappointed in the quality of the xiao long bao. The dough was thick and tasted bad. The filling itself tasted poorly. I was very upset as I wanted this place to be great.
