Da Hu Chun (Middle Sichuan Road)

Queues for the array of pan-fried buns boasting a crisp base and juicy filling stretch down the street. In addition to the typical pork variety, try the version with shrimp, or crabmeat and roe. Their mini wontons and meat-filled Shaobing are popular, too. The original shop, now with several branches across the Magic City, opened here in 1932; it moved and subsequently returned to the same street. You can also buy uncooked dim sum to take home.
