W Shanghai — The Bund has partnered with the century-old Nanxiang Mantou Dian to launch an exclusive summer collaboration, reimagining the iconic xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) with a contemporary, luxury twist.
Running from June 26 to Sept 25, the crossover offers limited-edition soup dumplings, inventive cocktails, and curated photo experiences, all set against the backdrop of Shanghai's skyline.
At WOOBAR?, guests can savor four elevated xiaolongbao flavors, including wagyu-truffle and rose-fermented tofu wrapped in vibrant hot-pink dragon fruit skins. Complementing the menu are three dumpling-inspired cocktails, such as the alcohol-free Mango x Alley Spice and the creatively presented Bao Zhi Bai Zui, featuring xiaolongbao-shaped ice cubes.
The collaboration extends beyond the table with giant art installations designed for social media, exclusive perks for hotel guests, and a pop-up at Nanxiang's Xintiandi location offering street-level bites under co-branded parasols.
