Faith W.Faith Wong: You have not been to Shanghai until you've visited this restaurant. Founded since 1932, the steam-grill bun is a must to try. The dough is soft on the top and crunchy on the bottom.

John T.John The Bastard: Most of my Sheng Jian Bao has lost all of their broth and the fried side had gotten soft. They’re better if you get a fresh batch that is still hot and crispy.

Caleb H.Caleb Ho: The bun on the frying pan tasted excellent especially with the fried chilli paste... Must try
