"Nanxiang Steamed Buns Restaurant" is well known to both Shanghai locals and one-time visitors as THE place to eat Xiaolongbao (小笼包).  What really makes these pork and crab roe dumplings special is the broth inside.
 
The price goes up and the wait goes down as you ascend the three floors of the restaurant.  Instead of waiting in the ridiculously long line, heap up to the 2nd floor to dine on famous xiaolongbao for just 15 yuan per plate.  Worth noting are the hungry patrons who crowd around directly behind the diners as they wait their turn for a seat at a table.
 
When you lift the dumplings off the plate try to do it as gently as possible so as to not rip the dumpling skin.  Also remember that the broth inside is piping hot!  Be cautious and try to bite a small corner of the dumpling first.  It is also quite common to order some ginger to compliment the xiaolongbao.
 
Cowboys eat Xiaolongbao too.
 
Other Snacks at Yu Gardens
 
The area next to the Yu Gardens and surrounding the Nanxiang Steamed Buns Restaurant is packed with a variety of tasty snacks.  Here’s a select few of them:
 
Bird on a Stick
 
Banana and Rice in Bamboo Shoots
 
Super-sized Soup Dumplings
 
Boiled Dumplings
Daniang Shuijiao (DND, 大娘水饺) offers a wide variety of boiled dumplings.  Try the standard dumplings or be more adventurous and go for some snake dumplings.  The entrance is located on the front of Fuyou Lu (福佑路).
 
Stinky Tofu - One of China’s most popular snacks. Some are addicted while others keep their distance. Remember folks, when in Rome...
 
Dim Sum - At least one restaurant around the Yu Gardens serves Dim Sum.

When added together, each of Hong Kong Disneyland’s four themed areas offer a total of eight dining locations with 2900 available seats. Three restaurants and five fast-food joints serve up a variety of Chinese, Asian, and Western dishes. Each location is decorated to match the designated area in which it is set. Prices are a little more expensive than your average outside restaurant, but then these do not have Mickey and Minnie to keep you company. A basic bowl of noodles and wontons costs HKD$40, a hamburger HKD$35 and soft drinks around HKD$15. The outlets are scattered throughout the park, so as long as you’ve got a bit of cash, one will never have to worry about starvation or hunger.
 
The Most Elegant:  Royal Banquet Hall
 
The Royal Banquet Hall at Fantasyland is certainly Disneyland’s most elegant dining option. Decorated with beautiful banners and flags, the area is also prettified with sculptures and caricatures of Disney’s world famous characters. The classic tale of ’Sleeping Beauty" inspired the extravagant designs of some seats in the dining area. Four kitchens offer up a variety of international dishes including curry, dim sum, sushi, and steak.  
 
The Biggest:  Starliner
 
Located in Tomorrowland, Starliner is the biggest restaurant in Hong Kong Disneyland with 800 seats. The restaurant is laid out in the shape of a rocket and serves American fast food with an Asian twist . Salads, fried chicken and apple pies are the kind of fare on offer here. Although a lot of the dining outlets offer the same items throughout the park, some dishes stand out, being available only in some ares. For example, Starliner is the only place you can try the exclusive BBQ pork burger (HKD$35).

Moon River Diner is incredibly popular among the foreign community of Shanghai. Offering hearty (and somewhat greasy) American food, both Moon River Diner locales are rarely empty in the evenings. With authentic diner décor and a kids menu with puzzles, its a must for those with little ones in tow. The burgers are highly recommended, as they are cooked to your request, and accompanied by an amazingly thick, “stick to your sides” milkshakes. A great breakfast selection features pancakes, French toast and an all day trucker’s big brekkie. In the Puxi branch, manager Greg is a big hit due his friendly and chatty nature. Sit outside in the summer, and enjoy the thousands of fat alley cats that live there existing on the humor and kindness of animal loving foreigners!!
