28. Cloud Buns at Ping Pong

They are not actually called Cloud Buns. They are Char Siu Buns. But they look exactly like fluffy clouds. I have no idea what they're made of. Maybe they're made of clouds. Whatever, they are toothsome and slightly sweet and inside they're stuffed with savoury pork and it's all just wonderful. Every time I go to Ping Pong I wonder if I've remembered them wrong and in fact they're not divine. But I've been a few times now, and they are, in fact, DIVINE. I can't even bear to think about them any more.

There are other good choices. The crispy duck rolls are very good, and last evening proved that the spicy chicken dumplings are also delicious. The pak choy kept trying to kill me with chilli so I left it to my more redoubtable dining companion, who is a) harder than me and b) had a cold.

Herself refuses to accompany me to Ping Pong because she thinks (erroneously) that it's expensive. But those cloud buns are a little bit of heaven, and how can you put a price on that?
