Yong'an Bun Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Baozi Shop, located across from the Yan Shui Chicken and within the Yong'an Market, has a history of over 26 years and is now mostly run by the young second-generation owners. The baozi and mantou at Yong'an Baozi Shop are made using sourdough, offering a particularly delicious and dense texture. They offer a variety of options such as red bean paste bao, flower rolls, vegetable bao, and fresh milk mantou, all of which are praised for their rich and aromatic flavor. The skills of the first-generation boss, Mr. Lü, were passed down from an old gentleman from the provincial market in Taipei's Nanmen Market. In addition to the shop's signature Shandong mantou and fresh milk mantou, the specialty vegetable bao is a must-try. The vegetable bao has a sourdough skin, and the filling includes Qingjiang cabbage, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms, all steamed together, offering a distinctly Shanghai flavor that many long-time customers fondly reminisce about.
