老上海包子-虎林街店

Laoshanghai Baozi Hulin Street Shop sits in an alley of Yongchun Market in Taipei. It specializes in dumplings made from unyeasted dough, hand-folding pork, chive, spicy pork, and cabbage dumplings, and the spicy ones hold broth that spills out at the first bite. A line forms from the morning, but staff hands move fast enough to buy in about ten minutes, and dumplings are often received freshly made because they are continually folded and steamed. Several dumplings packed together in a plastic bag stick to each other and leak juices.
