"Tourists and confident paper-menu-ticking regulars still pack into this tiny Taiwanese spot. You should too, but go solo for the best time. Snag a counter stool and take advantage of the ‘Long Day’ solo diner menu, which is a highlight reel of Bao’s best bits, including a bao with braised pork and a piece of their excellent, jaggedy fried chicken. Adding on a Horlicks ice cream-stuffed deep-fried dessert bao is worth it, too." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
