Xaio long boa at nine dragons or morimoto??

[CluelessDisFan]

okay some of you foodies have had or at least heard of xaio long boa or soup dumplings. I've never had them and because I'm on the hunt, I had to find out about where I can eat them at wdw! So my question is did you eat them at either place, and how was it? Pics if possible and comparison to others you've had. Trying to decide where to go for them. I'm leaning towards nine dragon because the one pic and review I saw from morimoto was nothing to write home about. So please share your advice and reviews! TIA

Are you talking about the steam buns that totally encase a yummy soup/stew/meat filling? I've had them in Shanghai and have not found them anywhere at WDW yet. It consumes me lol.

The bao you will find at morimoto and Epcot are similar to "tacos". A steamed bao "bun" that is folded in half and stuffed like a taco.

Yes I am, it consumes me too, and I haven't even had them yet! They're on the menu at nine dragons only for lunch. And morimoto has them only at brunch served on the weekends. This elusive shanghai delicacy is driving me bonkers!

It's xiaolongbao. I eat them at home pretty often but have never seen (or looked) for them at WDW. Even if you could find them, I don't think they'd be very good. Not sure where you're from, but it might be fun to look for the nearest city with a large Chinese population & make a soup dumpling pilgrimage. They really are that good!

(Not Disney, but if you're in San Francisco there is http://us.crystaljade.com/ - I'm not sure how good the ones in SF are but the ones from the same chain in Singapore are some of my favourite xiaolongbao ever!)
