Thanks for the link. The pictures look like shengjianbao. That will be even more different than the xiaolongbao/tangbao.

I say eat both!

edit add: I notice Zoltar's post asks for more detail

One friend told me Jia Jia and another recommended Yang's. I've been to Din Tai Fung in other cities.

Can anyone settle the debate and explain the differences? If it helps I am staying in Jing'An.

Jia Jia makes xiaolongbao-type dumplings, and they have steamed dough with broth and meat (or other) filling inside.

(From the pictures) Yang's makes shengjianbao, which are fried on the bottom, so they are crispy, and the dough is a little bit thicker. They can also be pretty juicy.
