"Like successfully riding a three-person tandem bike, good xiao long bao must have all of its components—broth, filling, and wrapper—working in harmony. And the best place to go to for harmonious soup dumplings (tandem bike optional) is Hing Kee in Chinatown. They come in three juicy varieties: pork, crab and pork, and chicken. Each one has a delicate, chewy wrapper, and is brimming with warm, flavorful broth that perfectly complements the meat. Make sure to also add some black vinegar and chili oil before slurping them up for an added burst of tartness and spice." - john ringor
