Nanzih District, Kaohsiung City｜金上好南北點心

I have been coming here for more than three years. This is my favourite place for xiaolongbao. DELICIOUS. (yes I think it's better than dintaifung, and cheaper too). The family that runs it is lovely, and always make an effort to have conversation with me/whoever is with me. I've also ordered congyoubing (quite good), some of the friend dumplings (pot stickers), and the vegies. Nothing disappointing :)

This is a hidden diamond of Xiao Long Baos. I used to live around the corner of this place and I would come here once a week. I would take all my visitors here because it’s both delicious and cheap. A tray of xiaolongbao is 60NT (~2 dollars USD) with 8 delicious, steamed, thin skin dumpling with rich soup. The shop is not very big but it is the real deal. They make the dumplings as you order it and it can’t be any more fresh. They roll, stuff and wrap the dumplings right in front of you. The owner is super nice and gives you endless amount of tea so you need to tell him no more or he’ll keep refilling that tea pot. When I get my steamy tray of Xiao Long Baos, I will pop one right in my mouth without thinking because they look so delicious and I often burn my lip, but worth it! However, the only problem with eating the best Xiao Long Bao in the world, well every Xiao Long Bao taste like garbage here on out. Every time I go to Taiwan, I make an effort to go here just to visit this little shop. FYI: Din Tai Fung doesn’t even compare to this place because Din Tai Fung is over priced and very commercialized. If you’re satisfied with garbage, then keep going to Din Tai Fung.

Authentic good taste, delicious and cheap.
