Anyone for a 8.50U$D Pork Bun?



The above pork bun are one of the six sandwiches New York's Xie Xie (as in shay shay, mandarin's "thank you") offer. Xie Xie is "an energetic fast-casual restaurant celebrating the vibrant flavors of Asia". It cost 8.50USD (12SGD). OMG. LOL. Xie Xie managed to package a relatively cheap Asia delicacy into about six times its original price. Culinary experts loved it and liked the price. We really have to kowtow to the branding power of the West.
