"This street food stall in Chinatown is famous for their pork buns. The signature items are the baked roast pork buns, where a fluffy milk bun is filled with chopped pieces of roasted pork (including bits of fat!) in a rich, sweet sauce. The pineapple bun with roast pork is another must-order. This bun combines two popular Cantonese bakery items: the pork bun and the pineapple bun. (There is no pineapple in the bun – this treat gets its name because its yellow color and pattern resemble a pineapple.) It’s the same fluffy milk bun, with a sugary, crispy exterior. It cracks and crumbles as you bite into it, and has the same delicious pork filling. The buns are about $2 each, and you can use credit cards at the kiosk outside, or order ahead online (a great way to skip the line!)."

"Though it moves fast, Mei Lai Wah is consistently the longest line in Chinatown, where everyone wants a taste of this pork bun — an affordable snack anytime of day. Fans differ on whether it’s really Chinatown’s best — you can get great buns on nearly every block in the neighborhood — but it is certainly the most well-known and the first name if you’re just visiting for the first time."

Se puede pagar con tarjeta y con efectivo (tiene unas máquinas en la puerta para hacer pedido y pagar con tarjeta pero tienes que poner el teléfono. Si entras y te diriges al mostrados de los camareros podrás pedir y pagar en efectivo. El bollito está muy muy bueno, es una mezcla de dulce y salado."

"SINCE THE 1960S, THIS UNASSUMING bakery has been churning out fresh, piping-hot sweet and savory buns. In 2008, when the New York City Department of Health caused Mei Lai Wah Coffee House to shutter, the outcry was immediate. In a lament entitled “Farewell, My Lovely Pork Buns,” Eric Asimov at The New York Times declared it “a great loss to the Chinatown community” and wrote, “I still felt surprised each visit when I took my first bite and remembered how good they were.” Thankfully for New Yorkers and pork bun enthusiasts everywhere, Mei Lai Wah reopened after a quick glow-up on the auspicious date of 8/8/08. Customers started showing up in droves for the bakery’s signature char siu bao practically from the moment the ovens restarted. Nowadays, the buns are as good as ever, often causing a considerable line to snake from the front door down Bayard Street. Despite the hype, few items on the menu go above $2 or $3. Virtually everyone is here for the baked roast pork buns, which come handsomely burnished and stuffed with meltingly tender char siu. The subtle sweetness of the pillowy dough is the perfect foil for the über-savory interior, which tends to ooze down your fingers as you tear into it."

I'd actually try two things if you go to Mei Lai Wah - their standard baked pork bun and their pineapple bun with roast pork. The pineapple bun with roast pork is also a "baked" pork bun but it's got a hardened crusty sweet top (no actual pineapple) Also egg yolk lava bun"
