Xiao Long Bao 小笼包

Here is an example of standard xiaolongbao 小笼包 you can find easily on the streets of Beijing. Clearly it is more bun-like and thick compared to the more refined and delicate Shanghainese species HKers are familiar with.

But, here in Beijing, all we have are these for around 4-6 RMB / basket. 2 baskets guarantee you will be full. Unless of course you have the ca$h and go upscale to Dingtaifung 鼎泰丰 。
