Dongbei Dumplings Eatery: the Original Flavor

Chinese people believe those in Dongbei, Northeast China have the most savory dumplings. The cold weather and the fertile soil make Northeast China a base for wheat production. Therefore these people are good at making snacks from flour, and dumplings are one of them.

The Dongbei Dumplings Eatery offers original Dongbei dumplings as well as some Dongbe home-style dishes. Recommended dishes are roumo qiezi, eggplant cubes fried together with pork paste and Dongbei luandun, a stew made with tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkin, cabbages and Dongbei mushrooms. All are fairly priced, and using original Dongbei ingredients, these dishes all help keep the winter cold away.

*Beijing Dumplings Eatery

Described as the "best dumplings available in Shanghai" by some customers, Beijing Dumplings Eatery is owned by a couple. The wife makes the dumplings on the site and the husband serves customers. There are a variety of dumplings here, such as dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, or with beef, or with pork and celery. All are priced at 2.5 yuan for every 50 grams, which contains six dumplings. A soup is served together with dumplings.

Beijing Dumplings Restaurant has successfully created a home-style flavor. But because there are only two people serving customers, diners need to wait for their dumplings.

Location: Lingyun Xincun, Hongmeilu, Xuhui District

*Laoshaan Dumplings Eatery

Laoshaan Dumplings Eatery is dedicated to Shaanxi dishes and dumplings are well known. Sanxian dumplings are said to be the best. The stuffing is made with leek, fresh pork and dried small shrimps. Other dumpling varieties include lotus roots and fresh pork dumplings and mutton dumplings.

Among its savory Shaanxi flavor dishes, Liangpi snack tops the list. Liangpi, or rice paste jelly, offered here is chewy and it includes a lot of seasoning. Suancaiyu, preserved cabbage and fish stewed together, comes the second, though it is a bit strange as suancaiyu is typically a Dongbei dish. The black fish is cooked for a long time, and the thick soup is full of flavor from the preserved cabbages.
