Yulongfu

Yulongfu is a Shanghainese style restaurant with generations of tradition and culinary expertise behind the menu. Headed up by husband-and-wife duo, Yong and Emily Liu who have owned and managed restaurants in Shanghai, Yulongfu recipes have been passed down through their family archives since 1904.

We loved tasting our way through Yulongfu’s menu. 

While many Chinese restaurants in Melbourne serve the Sheng Jian Bao, Yulongfu’s variety are a cut above. The skin of the fried dumplings possessed the perfect thickness and signature crispy and fluffy texture without being overly doughy.  The Ground pork and chopped cabbage filling was well seasoned and each bun possessed a wonderfully golden, crispy bottom. 

An absolute show stopper was the bespoke Truffle Xiao Long Bao. The steamed pork dumplings were infused with shaved truffle and truffle oil and tasted nothing short of amazing. It was a decadent dumpling with fragrant aromas. Definitely a must try!
