Porcine pastry
SUPER PIGS-IN-A-BLANKET
You want a snack, but can't decide between salty and sweet? Why not have
it all: a Pork Bao from Ho Yuen Bakery (54 Beach Street, Chinatown). The
fist-sized sweet bun wrapped around pork makes for a perfect meal-on-the-go.
The pastry is fluffy yet solid, the filling satisfyingly rich, and the whole
thing glazed to a brilliant shine with egg white. For just 60 cents, you can
satisfy your sweet tooth and your hunger for more savory stuff.
