The Inside Scoop

Did you know?

The dough is neon orange mostly so sleep-deprived store clerks wouldn't mix it up with the white meat buns back in the 1970s. Today, seeing how far you can stretch the cheese while waiting for the train is a highly respected winter activity.

How to eat

  • 1The melted cheese inside stretches — take a clean bite and pull gently to avoid a cheesy mess on your chin.
  • 2Like all steamed buns, it's best hot. If it's been sitting a while, ask the clerk for a fresh one from the steamer.
  • 3Peel off the small paper circle on the bottom before eating.
