Shanghai's "shengjian bao," a soup-filled dumpling, has garnered less attention compared to its Shanghai cousin, "xiaolong bao." Despite the delicate skin of the latter making it seem more refined, shengjian bao is more substantial and portable. In Malaysia, Jia Yu Fang in Damansara Utama is a top spot for enjoying these dumplings.
The restaurant, only a month old, focuses on the shengjian bao, which are fried to order and take around 10 minutes to cook. The soup inside is sweet and refreshing, while the crispy bottom adds a pleasant crunch. The restaurant's menu boasts other noteworthy dishes, including a sweet and sticky Shanghai-style red-braised pork and a tangy chilli green egg. Despite the long waits and occasional jazz music, Jia Yu Fang's shengjian bao are worth the effort.
