Is it normal for Shanghainese to put ginger on to the soy sauce though? Or is that a Twanger/Cantonese/Some sorta Asian thing?

But I'll do my proper foodie XLB comparo after trying Hao Chi Lai, if it comes so highly recommended by Badhobz and Dark.
And BTW my wallet hates you guys now.

I hate vinegar in general, especially the smell of it and when used by itself. It's probably similar to some people and cilantro, although I've read that is genetic.
I can tolerate it in things such as ketchup and certain hot sauces since it's masked by other ingredients, but things such as salads with vinaigrette dressings or salt and vinegar chips are no go.
Dipping XLB in vinegar would completely ruin it for me. I'm happy enough eating them as is.

Hao chi lai's prices aint that bad. (i should ask that lady for a cut considering how much advertising ive done for her)    
if you see a tall skinny lady, shes the boss. tell her the shanghai pang zi (fat guy) sent you and maybe she'll give you a few more dumplings/bao
p.s. i like their 鍋貼 more than their XLB but thats because im more a 鍋貼 guy to begin with.

The problem I find with XLB spots in Shanghai is consistency. Within the same steam basket, there can be a few that taste good and some that taste so so. And I’ve got several spots as my wife is big fan of XLB and that’s all she wanted to eat as breakfast.
We have even hit same spot on different days, same problem.
That all ended when we tried fried bum. The texture is amazing. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The best part, it’s super consistent. We hit the same spot 11pm after karaoke and again at 11am after we woke up from hangover. Same incredible taste.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, our SH friend said “oh, you like this? Let me bring you to the good spot for these”. Omg, that bum was 11. A while in the wall place. But damn, those bum are something else. The same place served XLB, while overall consistent, they weren’t as good as others.

If it wasn't obvious enough, my previous comment regarding dipping XLB into vinegar was tongue in cheek.
If I wasn't able to convey that, my apologies for the poorly written rant.  Quote:

So is the dark vinegar used to mask how ass tasting XLB is? You Shanghainese suck at gastronomy. GTFO outta here.
Joking aside, what the hell did I just read on this page? Did Hehe have a stroke?

The dark vinegar brings out the taste from the meat and the juice in the XLB, and that's what makes them so good! I think of it like adding salt to (unsalted) fries, or adding sugar to my (HK) milk tea. It just brings out the taste, and without it, it ain't the same.
