Lu Bo Lang (綠波廊, “Green Wave Corridor”) is a historic, highly regarded restaurant in the heart of Shanghai, located right next to the Jiuqu Bridge (九曲橋, “Bridge of Nine Turns”) in the Yuyuan Garden (豫園) and City God Temple (城隍廟) commercial area. The restaurant is known for its Shanghainese dishes, dim sum, and handmade pastries.
Unfortunately, because of our super packed schedule this morning, we didn’t have time for a sit-down meal. So, to enjoy Lu Bo Lang’s specialties, the only way was to grab them from their take-out counter.
All of their soup dumplings were freshly made here right in front of the crowd.
The City God Temple’s Large soup dumplings (城隍廟特色大湯包) (¥28) — Little nugget wasn’t interested in the sweet pastries, at least not early in the morning. Instead, he was curious about the large steamed dumpling with crab roe.
Thanks to the relatively short lineup, we managed to get our dumplings almost instantly without much of a wait. This was just perfect for our IG accounts. Little one couldn’t wait to get started and in fact, he was so eager that he burned his tongue on the first sip of the piping-hot broth through the paper straw.
I thought it was a great experience for him that he finally got to try the large steamed dumpling he previously saw on TV. To really taste it personally, that was something to tell the grandkids about!
