When I was in high school, working in downtown NYC, a great cheap lunch was char siu bao-- baked roast pork buns. You could get a couple for a buck, and they were terrific. The pork had that slightly sweet, kind of anise flavor that Chinese barbeque gets, and the bus themself were slightly sweet too, with good resistence and nice mouth-feel. They aren't all that easy to find, so when I see them, I always get a couple. Now I am tempted to make them myself.
