“They're so hot and juicy in the center. You feel the fatty oiliness on your lips. So much juice comes out as you take that bite. The top of the wrapper is really gummy and sticky, and the bottom is so crispy. They're hearty, flavorful, meaty, and rich. The pork is fatty which equals a lot of flavor. With chili oil and vinegar, it's perfect.”
