My favorite char siu bao of all time was filled with roast pork that was more like the texture of pulled pork, with the flavoring of char siu... I have no idea where it was purchased unfortunately, though it was generously stuffed.

...cuz baby got back?
I was just thinking about the pineapple buns topic this week. I don't eat bo lo bao very much anymore. I don't think a pork chop will be much improvement to a bo lao bao since I already like the ones with custard. There's already roast pork ones. Why not steak or a burger patty? Haha. It's just something different to gnaw on. We all need variety.
What really came into perspective tonight? I had a baked pork bun on hand and disappointment reigned down upon me. Why? Is the bun not sweet enough? It's sweet. Then? It's the filling. A lot of the bakeries are so cheap these days that they barely put any roast pork in it. Very upsetting. Is roast pork like the caviar of a chinese bakery that it needs to be thinned out?
Guess what happen next with my pork bun? Well, I improved it drastically. How? I had roast pig tonight for dinner. I wasn't in the mood for rice so the following happened:
1) Slice open the puny pork bun like it's a pita pocket.
2) Grab a few pieces of roast pig and dip hoisin sauce on it
3) Stuff into opened bun and ENJOY!
Now that's a pork bun worth my time devouring. Talk about supersizing! If I get a chance to do it again, I'll pick pieces without the crispy skin and go lighter on the hoisin sauce but still good eatin'.
I remembered at my old job, an ex-coworker would bring in boxes and boxes of pork buns, especially during the holidays. They were so good. I don't even like onions too much but these pork buns were so damn juicy and filled up decently. What a treat it was. I'd down at least 2-3 of them before lunch. HAHA. The place he bought them at is (and still buys them as of last Christmas and prob. Chinese New Year too): 9 Chatham Sq.
Growing up, I use to eat buns often. There was roast pork of course, ham&egg, chinese sausage, hot dog, and then my once all time fav., the Di Bao (Big Bun) - stuffed with minced pork, small piece of chicken, chinese sausage, mushroom and egg. MMmMmMMMM. The sweeter buns like pineapple, milky cream, and coconut weren't quite as often for me.
How's everyone else's bun life experience?
Side note - I just thought of a crazy bun to make. A World War II sausage bun (it's stuffed with hot dog, banger, russian sausage, italian sausage, bratwurst, and japanese sausage.) Yea, move over Bacon whatever if that ever explodes onto a Bun. ;P
