The biggest highlight of these buns is that they’re bursting with juice！ One bite and the rich essence of the meat filling bursts out in a flavorful soup！ Absolutely amazing！

The golden-brown crispy bottom, paired with the white, fluffy exterior sprinkled with black sesame and green onions for added aroma, delivers a juicy burst with every bite！ Unlike the more common pan-fried buns found in Taiwan, those from Old Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns are smaller in size, with bottoms that are exceptionally crispy, and fillings that have the texture of soup dumplings—oozing rich, savory juices.

Old Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns are made in the traditional Shanghai style, using unleavened dough. The buns are then placed in a pan and slowly pan-fried. Just before they’re ready to be served, water is poured over them, and they’re steamed before being taken out of the pan. The ingredients used by the shop are fresh, purchased daily, and the buns are made, wrapped, and fried on the spot, ensuring diners get to enjoy the most delicious Shanghai-style pan-fried buns.

Since its opening, Old Shanghai Pan-Fried Buns has attracted many foodies eager to try them, with business so good that advance phone reservations are required to secure a taste！ In addition to phone reservations, the shop also has fixed daily time slots for walk-in sales, but quantities are limited—so hurry if you want to try them！
