The Best Buns in Shanghai

The pan-fried bun is one of the most famous dim sums in Shanghai. There are many restaurants making this delicious dim sum, but Da Hu Chun is the most famous one undoubtedly. Founded in 1932, Da Hu Chun is famous for its authentic local cuisine, and its pan-fried bun is the most famous one. Many other restaurants use the partially leavened dough to make a thin-skinned bun. However, Da Hu Chun goes off the beaten track. In Da Hu Chun, the buns are made of the fully leavened dough, so the thick bun skin will be chewier and absorb more meat juice. This featured bun enjoys great popularity and has become the most authentic Shanghai local cuisine.
