"If you’re interested in trying some of the city’s best xiao long bao, prioritize a visit to Shanghai You Garden. You can choose between 10 varieties of soup dumplings, all dyed with different colors so you’ll be able to tell what you’re eating from the exterior, tender skin. Our favorites are the classic, bright yellow crab and pork (the broth tastes noticeably crabbier and more clarified than most other versions), and a giant thick-skinned version. Get a bunch of these, clink glasses with your friends, and then proceed to suck out the meaty soup out with a gargantuan straw.
