Shanghai Dim Sum

We decided to try some Shanghai dim sum the other day.  It is a bit different, maybe larger sized than the more common Chinese dim sum.  My sister had been talking about the famous soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) or (XLB) and I don't seem to have a photo of it here. These are dumplings where soup is cooked with the meat inside it. So we made sure to order some of those.  Here are some of the other dishes we enjoyed. My favourite were the pan fried pork dumplings.   Apparently and unfortunately, even the steamed dishes are not deemed to be healthy.

The best dim sum I have ever tasted were served at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong. Very fresh and delicious!

I would have thought that the steamed dishes would be healthy. That's too bad. But it does look very good!

I would have thought they were healthy as well, oh well, if they were good thats all that matters,

I love Chinese dim sum, but I agree with you that they are not very health. It in fact, weights you down afterward!

Looks wonderful! I like dim sum, but we don't have a restaurant anywhere close to us.

My daughter and son-in-law kept raving about these soup dumplings in Singapore. We tried to find them in Hong Kong, but couldn't find them. All of your food items look absolutely scrumptious.
