Tim Ho Wan (Sham Shui Po)
No. 20The one to order
Baked barbecue pork buns with crackly sugar tops, and the steamed rice rolls
A former Four Seasons dim sum chef's tiny shop, once called the cheapest Michelin star in the world; the buns are why.
Make it at home
Char siu bao (barbecue pork buns)
3 hr, about 1 hr hands-on · 12 buns. The fluffy steamed bun that splits open at the top to show sweet, glossy barbecue pork. Use leftover char siu or a good store-bought roast pork.
