The Best Brunch Spots In Boston - Boston - The Infatuation

"If you’ve ever fantasized about inhaling a full dim sum breakfast and washing it down with a Tiki drink on a Tuesday,  Sun Kong in Malden will make your steamer-basket dreams come true, with a 60+ item menu available every day from 9-3pm. Inside the nondescript building on Eastern Ave you’ll find tanks of live seafood and packed banquet tables with all manner of steamed buns and fragrant bowls of shellfish. The fried crab claw arrives like a present: the server will use scissors to cut through a baseball-sized orb of crispy shrimp cake wrapped around a claw full of sweet, briny meat. Dumpling lovers, don’t overlook the slouchy xiao long bao soup dumplings, and at least two kinds of shao mai: delicate shrimp and asparagus, and juicy pork and shrimp. Whatever you order, save room for desert—Sun Kong is known for their delicious baked custard buns and sunny egg yolk tarts." - lala thaddeus, tanya edwards, catherine smart
