This xiaolongbao restaurant is an 8 minute drive away, but it is definitely my favorite! They offer several options for xiaolongbao: traditional pork, pork and crab roe as well as pork and shrimp. Another must try is 'guotie' (锅贴), a deep fried dumpling with soup which is only available in the morning!
