The best fried pork buns in Shanghai

I love Shanghai - especially Shanghainese food. Over the years, I've tried many a fried pork bun joint, ranging from high-end restaurants, to hole-in-the-wall stops. Best bang for your buck? Xiao Yang Shen Jian Bao.

Where: Xiao Yang Shen Jian; No.54 -60 Wujiang Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai, China
What: The juiciest, most fragrant fried pork buns (生煎包）I've ever eaten. But actually.
Price: $ (~5RMB, or <1 USD for 4)

Tips?: Go with friends: get someone to line up whilst you try and snag a rare seat in the tiny restaurant. The menu is snuggled above the cashier.

Must eats: fried pork buns (生煎包). Order a side of soup (any of them - they're all fantastic)

~6 RMB of juicy deliciousness
