Michelin-starred dim sum known for baked BBQ pork buns
"Tim Ho Wan has become famous for their baked BBQ pork buns and for being one of the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, so it attracts a mind-boggling number of tourists. And while the original shop in Kowloon is good, there are now a bunch of locations around the city where you can take a number and wait in a huge crowd of people for some very, very good baked BBQ pork buns. There’s also now one in the train station at IFC (International Finance Center), so if you time things right, you can grab some buns just before you head to the airport." - jess basser sanders

"For instance, Pui Gor (Mak Kwai Pui, the owner of Tim Ho Wan) worked at Lung King Heen." - Michelin Guide Digital-Singapore
"Known as a Hong Kong–based chain lauded as the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant, it recently opened its first New York location. The spot is beloved for classic dim sum like steamed rice rolls, pork and prawn dumplings, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, but the standout and fan-favorite is the baked bun filled with barbecue pork. Recipes for the iconic pork buns are smartly scarce online, so recreations tend to rely on tasting and experimentation." - Eater Video
