It's worse for me as Taiwanese, born and raised, and now live in the states and ... still crave for this kind of food. $4 dollar for Gua Bao just ... even after you justify it with higher income here. Then the chowhound thread talked about it "rivals David Chang’s pork buns" ? - how much Momofuku would charge for this?
Back home, you have thousands of proprietors doing nothing but Gua Bao for 40 years. One push cart, one food and whole his/her life. Here we have the one and only stall selling 42 different things, from Ah Ma Been (the duck) to Gua Bao and it already rivals the supposedly most hopeful young chef in the country ... what's the picture here? we are not in street food heaven are we?
That said, I still have to cling to whatever we have here. So Flushing mall I am coming. :-)
