Yong'an Baozi Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Baozi Shop, located across from the Yanshui Chicken and within the Yong'an Market, has a history of over 26 years and is now mainly operated by the young second generation of owners. The baozi and mantou at Yong'an Baozi Shop are made with old sourdough, resulting in a particularly delicious and dense texture. The shop offers a variety of tasty options, including red bean bao, flower rolls, vegetable bao, and fresh milk mantou, with the rich aroma of the dough receiving high praise from customers. The skills of the first-generation owner, Mr. Lu, were inherited from an old gentleman from the mainland at the Nanmen Market in Taipei City. In addition to the signature Shandong mantou and fresh milk mantou, the specialty vegetable bao is a must-try for visitors. The vegetable bao is made with old sourdough for the skin, and the filling includes qingjiang cai (a type of leafy vegetable), bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, all steamed to perfection, delivering a distinctly Shanghai flavor that many long-time customers find nostalgic.
