Jia Jia Tang Bao (Huang He Road)

Jiajia Tangbao Huanghe Road Store is located on the famous Huanghe Road Food Street in old Shanghai. This soup dumpling store has a clean and bright environment, good service, and a very high cost performance. I chose the fresh meat soup dumplings with fish ball soup. The overall taste is very good, the soup dumplings are juicy, and the fish balls are firm. As a Chinese meal, it is a very good choice.

[Environment] The restaurant is located on Huanghe Road, 50 meters away from the original address. Old customers should not find the wrong address. After the renovation, the restaurant is very clean and tidy. [Service] All dishes are self-service, and the waiter can serve them. There is no service problem. [Taste] Fresh meat soup dumplings, still the taste of the original memory, like it I have eaten in this restaurant since I was a child, and I will come here often in the future

I have been eating at this soup dumpling shop since I was a child. No matter how many new brands of stores open, Jiajia soup dumplings are my favorite crab soup dumplings! I haven't been here since the Huanghe Road store changed its location. The new store is much more spacious. What remains unchanged is that the soup dumplings are still made and steamed on the spot, with rich ingredients, full of crab flavor, and plenty of soup. The skin is thin but not easy to break, and the price is very reasonable! Highly recommended!

☘️We originally went to the nearby egg pancake stall. The review status also showed that it was open, so we went there happily. But who knew it was closed. Boss Hai and I were helpless and had to find another place to go. ☘️I went into Jiajia Soup Dumplings hungry, placed my order and paid at the cashier, got my number plate, and chose my seat. ☘️「Crab meat and roe」: 38 yuan per basket, 12 pieces, freshly made and bought, take a bite and suck on it, a packet of crab oil, tastes full of fragrance in your mouth, extremely delicious, and leaves a lingering fragrance on your teeth and cheeks. Boss Hai nodded frequently, looking very satisfied. ☘️We waited for half an hour before the dish was served, and it was on the verge of being fried, but the taste was worth our wait. ☘️It is recommended to eat it immediately, as it will have a fishy smell when it gets cold.

It has been open for many years. Although I found many stores, I still chose the store on Huanghe Road that I went to the first time. I will write about my dining experience in June 2018. I remember it was a weekday night. The queue at the door was quite long. It has become an Internet celebrity store. Tourists and foreigners come in groups. The originally narrow space is full of suitcases and large backpacks. When eating snacks in Shanghai, people like to wait behind others to wait for them to finish eating. It has a market flavor. Now they have to queue outside. If there is no seat inside, they will not be allowed to enter the store. The taste is still good, but the speed of serving needs to be improved.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but their tastes are the same. The food that almost every Shanghainese person dreams about is steamed buns and soup dumplings. Jiajia soup dumplings are a unique flower in Shanghai's steamed bun world. They are neither as legendary as Guyi Garden's steamed buns nor as far-flung as Din Tai Fung's. They are real Shanghai dim sum. Jiajia soup dumplings are of course not only Shanghainese. Sandy Lam once wrote a food book "Sandy Lam Leads the Way" to recommend this small shop. Jeff Chang and Cyndi Wang have visited this shop. When I came to eat this time, I also saw many lovely foreigners coming to make a pilgrimage. It is recommended to come early to eat soup dumplings. This time it was a bit late and only |crab roe and fresh meat^ and |pure crab roe soup dumplings^ were left, but it was enough to satisfy me. |Crab roe and fresh meat^35 per basket, each basket has twelve pieces and one and a half taels, which is quite cost-effective. Most of the small steamed buns in Shanghai use unfermented refined flour as the skin, and the thin skin and fine meat are also added with pork skin jelly. Take a small bite of Jiajia's small steamed buns, and the soup will fill a full spoonful. When you suck it into your mouth, your eyebrows will fall off. Crab roe is like truffles that bring out the freshness of the fine meat and perfectly blend with it. It's not too late to eat crabs recently, so hurry up and have a few baskets! |Pure crab roe soup dumplings^99 per basket of twelve pieces is a bit expensive but definitely worth it. Jiajia's pure crab roe soup dumplings are very authentic. When they are just out of the cage, each one is very plump, white and fat and very cute. The golden crab roe is like inlaid in a piece of soft jade. The appearance alone has captured people's hearts. The crab roe soup dumplings may not have pork skin jelly to prevent the crab from being covered. The soup is not too much. The crab roe and crab powder mixed together have a rich taste, and the thin skin neutralizes the taste and is very balanced. 99 yuan a basket is worth it. I will get tired of Japanese food if I eat it once a month, and 5J ham will lose its flavor if I eat it for several weeks in a row. Only Xiaolongbao, I am willing to eat it every day, every month, and every year. If I have to put a time limit on this love, I hope it is 10,000 years.
