Da Hu Chun (大壶春) (Yunnan South Road)
Da Hu Chun dates back to the 1930s, when shengjian bao were first taken out of the teahouse and becoming their own snack, with their own shops. The brand has been around for nearly 100 years, established in 1932! It has survived all that time because of the Shanghainese love for its particular style of shengjian bao: fluffy! Da Hu Chun leavens their dough, which makes the wrapper puff up like a small fluffy bun or mantou. It also means the wrapper absorbs much of the broth inside, which is why people call this the "soupless" shengjian bao, and why it's customary to order beef curry soup on the side, like at pot sticker places. Da Hu Chun does some modern fillings, including foie gras. Get the classics of pork, prawns, and crab roe filling. Multiple locations in Shanghai. The Sichuan Middle Road location is the most popular and also has a Bib Gourmand.
