Hot & Meaty – 肉まん Meat Bun

New York City sure has been rainy and cold since yesterday…I want something meaty and hot! yes!  肉まん(Meat Bun) will totally do the job...

Without doing my historic research, I would still say Meat Bun is originated from China. Japanese calls it Niku Man 肉まん. Pork meat with vegetable hide inside the perfect white flour steam bun…Can’t get any warmer and cozier than that…

This shop (which I can not pronounce the name of) is located in Kagurazaka-eki, Tokyo.

Isn’t it sexy?!

I wouldn’t say Meat Bun is simple to make, because the outer shell really has to be moist, and inside has to be juicy~ This one in the picture was pretty juicy, as soon as you open the bun, juice just keep running out!

New York City Chinatown has some good Meat Bun place I totally need to explore! Next time will come back with good info for everyone!
