\nIn the window of Zheng Jin Ji at 4915 8th Ave, Sunset Park, Brooklyn, I spotted a photo starring these two sesame seed studded buns that was sufficiently compelling for me to venture inside. It\u2019s a modest venue where Fuzhou snacks and soups are in the spotlight; I\u2019m guessing they do more take-out business than sit-down. <\/p>\n

On the left, a Pickled Pork Sesame Bun with Preserved Vegetables, a Guhuai Sesame Bamboo Shoot Bun on the right. They\u2019re prepared in advance, deep fried to order, and they were an undisputed hit: spot-on seasoning, a study in contrasting textures, and definitely worth more than the price of admission ($5.50 for the pair).<\/p>\n

So Bravo to the folks at Zheng Jin Ji for an enlightening performance that day. Take a bao!<\/p>\n
