Boston

Who has the best buns in Chinatown? The truth is that there are so many good buns that it is hard to choose just one. To be honest, it all depends on the filling. It seems like each bakery (yeah, that is what I’m talking about) excels at a different type of bun, but my favorite is the pork bun. I used to think of the pork bun in the traditional way, where the quality is based on the dough, taste of the sauce, and the quality of the pork. However, Hing Shing has changed all this. When you get a pork bun, you get a giant bun filled with huge chunks of pork, sausage, and some hard-boiled egg. This thing is seriously delicious.  They often run out early in the afternoon so make sure that you get there early.
