Shengjianbao and xiao huntun is the classic Shanghai breakfast set: pan-fried pork buns beside a light bowl of tiny wontons in broth. Order **"shengjian pei xiao huntun"** (*pan-fried buns with small wontons*) when you want the crisp, oily bun balanced by a clean soup. The set is usually ¥15-35 at neighborhood counters and works best before 10:30. The trap is ordering only buns and skipping the wonton broth, then wondering why breakfast feels heavy after four molten pork bombs.
