"All day If Din Tai Fung could have trademarked the xiaolongbao, they more than likely would have. Stop by solo for five pieces of the earthy truffle ones to congratulate yourself for surviving another hump day, or schedule a quick catch-up to swap and slurp land and sea style, with a medley of crab and pork options. They’re the ultimate feat of steamer engineering. When you’re 99% sure the slick, chewy dough is going to split, crisis is averted. Other dishes worth ordering at the casual, sprawling Covent Garden spot, are the crispy pork wontons, golden prawn pancake, and bouncy crab and pork buns. It’s all available until closing too." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
