Restaurant
Baiweiyuan Dumpling (Tuanjiehu Road)
For over a decade, this shop has been serving dumpling soup, steamed dumplings and potstickers that are stuffed and cooked à la minute – so expect slower service than at your average dumpling joint. Signature Baiwei dumplings come with meat, shrimp and veggie fillings; ovo-vegetarians may opt for the egg-and-tomato variety. Try the cold appetisers such as thinly sliced soy-braised pork trotter with the perfect ratio of skin, fat and lean meat.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
