😅 but did you have one of those spicy meals or something else i had to look up the other kitchens you listed and i mean its all south chinese had to look up what shanghainese food likes but i don’t think it really gets me

yea the spicy is alright at most, doesn't add any value to the dishes as a whole, it's just a new experience if you’ve never had one imo mostly south chinese probably due to what i grew up with and what's available around me, but i've been trying more northern cuisine and i'll stick liking the southern ones straight top of my mind of shanghainese is xiao long bao and hairy crab, both are so delightful

omg you can’t copy words from replies on farcaster, just the whole reply 😂 never had xiao long bao, but from what i have seen i don’t think they can compete with southern chinese dumplings

LOL yes it's different, you should try the ones by Din Tai Fung if there's one in your area, but Din Tai Fung is Taiwanese's take. i think you will change your mind once you've had it.
