Yong'an Steamed Bun Shop Introduction
The Yong'an Bun Shop, located across from the Saltwater Chicken shop in Yong'an Market, has a history of over 26 years and is now mostly run by the younger second-generation owners. The buns and steamed buns at Yong'an Bun Shop are made using old dough, giving them a particularly delicious and dense texture. They offer a variety of buns including red bean paste buns, twisted buns, vegetable buns, and fresh milk steamed buns, all of which feature a rich and fragrant aroma that keeps customers coming back for more. The craftsmanship of the first-generation owner, Mr. Lu, comes from a true inheritance passed down from an elderly gentleman from the Outer Provinces in Taipei’s Nanmen Market. In addition to the shop's signature Shandong steamed buns and fresh milk steamed buns, their special vegetable buns are a must-try. The vegetable bun dough is made from old dough, and the filling includes Qingjiang vegetables, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms, all steamed together, offering a distinctly Shanghainese flavor that many longtime customers fondly recall as a taste of home.
