Famous Shanghai Brand Yang's Dumpling Opens in Singapore

Yang's Dumpling, a renowned Shanghai brand, has officially opened its doors at Bugis Junction in Singapore, drawing significant queues during its inaugural weekend. The eatery is celebrated for its authentic shengjianbao, the traditional Shanghainese pan-fried pork dumplings.

Originating as a street food stall in Shanghai in 1994, Yang's Dumpling has a rich history, with the founding family tracing their dumpling-making expertise back to 1947, spanning four generations. The brand, easily recognized by its pink and white logo, now boasts over 400 stores globally.

The Singapore outlet offers a diverse menu featuring the signature pan-fried dumplings, alongside soups, noodles, and various side dishes. The classic pork dumplings are priced at S$7.90 for a plate of four, with prawn dumplings available for S$14.90 and seasonal Crab Roe & Pork dumplings for S$18.90. Customers can also mix and match flavors.

Yang's Dumpling emphasizes a meticulous 46-step process to achieve its signature shengjianbao, characterized by their soupy, meaty fillings, crispy bottoms, and a topping of sesame seeds and spring onions. The dumplings are handmade on-site and fried in large cast-iron pans.

While the taste is reported to be consistent with the Shanghai originals, the crispiness upon arrival at the table may vary. The restaurant is located at Bugis Junction #B1-05, 200 Victoria Street, Singapore 188021.
