"There’s something about the fried dough at Dragon Castle—aptly in Elephant and Castle—that makes us want to tuck them into their noodle duvet and read them a bedtime story. But given their warm, crispy crunch factor, we’d recommend eating them instead. It’s a texture love match and between the cheung fun’s bite-sized form and the “come on in” feel of this huge Cantonese hall, it makes for an ideal lunchtime solo sitting. You, podcast, and close personal friend, fried dough." - heidi lauth beasley
