oh and Xiao Long Bao ("little dragon buns" - pork soup dumplings) from Din Tai Fung are the TRUTH. 1.5 hr wait was totally worth it.

Growing up, I'd always get the steamed ones because the dim sum place we frequented had really amazing ones. The baked ones were good but never really impressed me (being Chinese, food culture becomes ingrained in you from an early age 

.) This summer though, I went to Hong Kong and had the baked bbq pork buns at Tim Ho Wan (Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant and cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world.) I was made a believer.

About as close to perfect as you can get.

Yeah, it was always the steamed version for me... frankly, I was never a fan of the baked ones.  
Guess I'll hafta check out that Tim Ho Wan sometime... how long was the wait?

The place opens at 10am. Our hotel was only a couple blocks away, the Langham Place Hotel in Mongkok, so my buddy and I decided to go there at 8am (camping out for dim sum

.) By the time the restaurant opened, the line was easily fifty deep. The place only seats like twenty people too. Definitely worth the experience though. If you go at any random time during the day, I hear the wait can easily exceed two hours (although you can walk away and come back.)
