Da Hu Chun (Middle Sichuan Road)

When it comes to all kinds of snacks in Shanghai, shengjian is definitely not absent, and [Da Huchun (Sichuan Middle Road Store)], which has always adhered to the Qingshui School for 91 years, is full of the traditional taste of old Shanghai! 👉 The unique fully fermented dough, almost without adding jelly, constitutes the iconic taste of Da Huchun. 👉 I love the crispy taste of [Dongtaixiang] semi-fermented, and the softness of [Da Huchun] fully fermented. 👉 Take a bite, don't worry about the greasy feeling of the juicy shengjian, there is only the sweet and juicy feeling of the meat filling. 👉 As the head office of [Da Huchun], the Sichuan Middle Road Store is better than other branches in terms of the attitude of the cashier aunt and the environment in the store.

Crab roe pan-fried dumplings are very fragrant, with the freshness of crab roe, crab roe and meat mixed together. Foie gras pan-fried dumplings have a unique taste, a different texture, goose liver is very soft in the mouth, and the combination with meat makes the pan-fried dumplings have a layered texture in the mouth. Shrimp pan-fried dumplings have large shrimps in the filling, and the taste is OK. Fresh meat pan-fried dumplings are the most traditional pan-fried dumplings. Curry beef vermicelli soup has a curry taste, a small amount of beef, slightly sweet, and the taste is a bit strange, a different feeling. Fresh shrimp wontons are a bit salty, but the taste is OK. [Mint] Environment: It is relatively simple and not very big. [Service bell] Service: It is OK, you can order and take it yourself.

I came here to eat after seeing an exhibition at Dongyi Art Museum. It's on Sichuan Middle Road, so it's very close. I ate here once when I was working in the Bund, but I probably haven't been here since. It was still early, and there were still many empty seats in the store. I was alone, so I quickly occupied the small table at the door. I bought a set meal of fresh meat and prawns and curry beef vermicelli soup, which was just enough to fill me up. Dahuchun is a time-honored brand in Shanghai, but it's a little bit declining now, and its popularity can't catch up with the other ones. The outer skin of the whole dough is its specialty. Although there is not much soup inside, I still think it tastes good.

The storefront is not big. There is an ordering counter at the entrance, and the place to pick up the food is diagonally opposite. You can pick up wontons and fried dumplings by yourself. When there are many people, the place seems cramped. There is no delivery later. The space inside the store is quite large, but there are many people. At first, I shared a table with others, and then moved to the side when the people next to me left. I ordered two small wontons and a small pot fried dumpling. The small wontons are amazing, 8 yuan per serving, 10 pieces, and the filling is quite sufficient. The price-performance ratio is very good. It seems that MSG is added to the filling? The small pot fried dumpling is 30 yuan for 10 pieces, 4 fresh meat, 4 fresh meat prawns, and 2 fresh meat clam meat fried dumplings. The taste is good, very delicious, but the skin on the top is too thick, and the skin on the bottom is thin, that is, the bottom is a little too burnt. There is a whole shrimp in the fresh meat and prawn filling, see the picture, and there are two small clams in the clam meat filling. I forgot to take a photo, and the filling feels a little fishy. It seems that I only ate three large shrimp fillings? Another thing that I feel is not good is that the pan used for the small pan-fried dumplings is a non-stick pan. After eating the pan-fried dumplings, I saw that the coating of the pan at the bottom fell off a lot. I felt uncomfortable. I will order the large pan-fried dumplings in the future. It is an iron pan and there is no need to worry about the coating problem. There is also a thick layer of grease at the connection between the handle and the pot body. I hope the store can make some improvements in these areas.

Hongpupu said that this Shengjian is delicious and brought me here. There are still many locals in the store. The soup is recommended and it is very fresh. The bean skin is wrapped with meat filling. It has been so long that I forgot what kind of meat it was. I only remember that the soup is delicious. Shengjian is very big. The crispy skin next to the meat filling is the best. Unfortunately, three is enough to make you full. If you eat too much, you will feel a little greasy. The old man at the food delivery counter is so fierce. When I took the soup from the window, I didn’t know that it would be delivered to my seat. I thought it was self-service. When Shengjian came out, I had to reach out to take it. I was scared by the old man’s roar and almost didn’t want to give a good review...

Shengjian can be said to be the most indispensable food in Shanghai's life. Many people start their day with a Shengjian and beef vermicelli soup~ 💢In the eyes of foreign tourists, [Xiao Yang Shengjian] is very famous, but local old customers know that [Da Huchun] is the originator of Shanghai Shengjian‼ ️ ✅The traditional production process of Da Huchun Shengjian, for example, is the traditional full-leaf dough, which is said to undergo two fermentations, so the Shengjian tastes thick and soft, and the bottom is crispy and fragrant⭐️ This is their biggest feature🔥🔥 Nowadays, there are more and more Shengjian restaurants of all kinds, and old-fashioned Shengjian like Da Huchun, provides people with not only the enjoyment of taste buds, but also carries a memory and a feeling of the older generation of Shanghai. I like Da Huchun, as deeply as I love this city. 🍽【Food Guide】 📍Detailed address: No. 136, Sichuan Middle Road 🚗Transportation Guide: Nanjing East Road Station, Metro Line 2 🕙Business hours: 6:30-19:30 💰Average consumption: 15 yuan

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Nanjing East Road Station. Dahuchun is also a time-honored brand in Shanghai with a long history, but this is my first time to eat here. It is a 2018 Michelin star, so I am looking forward to it. It was almost full at 5 o'clock on the weekend night. I bought fresh meat pan-fried dumplings, shrimp pan-fried dumplings, goose liver pan-fried dumplings, curry beef soup, thousand sheets of vermicelli soup, vegetable and meat wontons. There is also a window outside the door selling other foods. I bought shredded radish cakes and crab shell yellow. The pan-fried dumplings were not the kind that were just out of the pot steaming hot, but were not very warm, which felt a bit bad. Sure enough, I was disappointed after taking a bite of the skin. The skin was very unpalatable, like a dough pie, with a very bad taste, and the bottom was not crispy at all, a ball of flour. Filling: fresh meat, shrimp, goose liver, the raw materials should be okay, but the overall taste is not good, so it's all ruined. It's not as good as the pan-fried dumplings at my doorstep. The other few dishes are just like this, neither good nor bad, as a famous snack in Shanghai, it's really a bit of a pitfall for tourists.
