I stumbled upon my favourite restaurant, Din Tai Fung. The food was great as always, the service here was also fantastic, with no problem in me dining alone, in fact they had tables just for such an occurence and gave me an English magazine to read whilst I waited for my food.
Whilst Din Tai Fung is based out of Taiwan, it is actually Shanghainese food which they make. Time magazine and CNN's guide to Shanghai both recommend it as the best place to try Xiao Long Bao. Insultingly, Time even mentions it being Taiwanese, but 'just tell all your friends its a local Chinese place, they will never know otherwise.'
