“Excellent buttery shortbread crust. Delicate, sweet, and fragrant custard. Not my preferred type of egg tart, but if I were to eat this version, I’d come here first. One of my favorites of the day.”

replying to u/crazeman: How would you rank/compare Manna One and Tao Hong with Xiao Le Yuan, your favorite egg tart in Brooklyn?
“I will add that Go Believe had an amazing custard. Unfortunately, it’s a shortbread crust & that’s not something I usually look for. However, I’ll still go back simply because it’s such a good egg tart regardless of the crust type.”

replying to u/pywang: I go to Chinatown frequently and am Southern Chinese American (but not GuangZhou) so I may list places where you’ll have trouble visiting. Truly, if you want something different, Chinatown in Manhattan ain’t it. You’d want to try Flushings instead (take the LIRR and will get there in 30 minutes). Regardless, I haven’t seen these Manhattan Chinatown places listed if you want different (and yes bring a ton of cash): - Deluxe Meat Market: you’ll need to know Mandarin/Canto. Great hot bar and juices, and it’s also one-half a store for many Chinese restaurants buying meat. Just point, and you’ll have an adventure. Credit cards accepted here. - ShuJiaoFuZhou: dumplings (pork and chives or cabbage), peanut noodles, and, if you’re Chinese, ask for tang. Cash only, go in the morning and avoid lines. Rumors are they are retiring soon, so go before they shut down due to a lack of a successor (as are 90% of Chinatown restaurants) - Go Believe: great buns and cheap milk tea. - Harper’s Bread House: cheap onigiri. I like the spicy crab meat, but my favorite is eel. - Mei Lai Wah: it’s very famous, but the pineapple pork bun is indeed really good and fatty. The cash line is very long now unlike before; either arrive early in the morning or order on the screen, cut the line by going to pick up and bring the receipt. Cutting the line is a classic grandma move. - Ice cream factory: great spot if you’ve been stuck with American flavors for too long. Ktown’s Hmart have boxes of Asian flavor ice…

replying to u/carnimiriel: I haven't bought them recently but I used to love the frozen dim sum and dumplings from Go Believe bakery on Grand St. Especially the pork & corn dumplings.
“I agree! I always get frozen dumplings from Go Believe Bakery. It's been a while since I bought it, but pretty sure they have a chicken and mushroom dumpling that is really good.”

replying to u/VegetableFudge4323: [Go Believe Bakery](https://www.doordash.com/store/1751967)'s chicken and mushroom dumpling are such a hidden gem. I'm pretty sure they also create a variety of dumplings and wholesale to local dim sum places. You can even get dim sum dumplings like shu mai and shrimp dumplings.

replying to u/crazeman: Make sure you bring cash lol. **Noodles:** [Spicy Village](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AxPEquPNtCXGVuJf8) for their spicy big tray chicken with hand pulled noodles. [Cocoron](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zs3Gj5BBcVVKxreq7) for soba dipping noodles. [Mr. Taka Ramen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2FLMhHWfzLNnCVdf6) for ramen. [Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles](https://maps.app.goo.gl/HrvmvGNVwHrcWJC69) is the all rounder. You get to pick between 10 different types of noodles. [Noodle Village](https://maps.app.goo.gl/BUjwphAVEE5kNDwr8) for their Wonton noodles soup. **Rice rolls:** There's an super OG [Rice Roll cart](https://maps.app.goo.gl/GzNx5hdcEKkCtxJX6) in front of the HK super market, but you have to get there in the morning. [Chang Lai Fishball Noodles](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vFn7YKpQTktsYaFs8) has rice rolls with curry fish balls. They used to be a street cart until they opened this store last year. Get it with all the sauces. [Yi Ji Shi Mo](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jHCdfAP9znCybUEC9) / [West Rice Roll King](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZmmxppAsTbn8cgP16) for rice rolls with your choice of fillings.
