Mo's baozi earn rapturous praise, with Pratt calling them pillowy perfection. The overall vibe is one of quiet, soul-warming satisfaction.
“These are baozi — steamed buns filled with meat. They're made with sourdough, so they're fluffy and pillowy. They cost €1 each and look beautiful. There's a legend about a general who invented them to avoid sacrificing his soldiers to a river god — he made these buns shaped like human heads and threw them in the river instead. In China, people eat them for breakfast on the go, with some hot soy milk. The dough is really soft and the filling is savory. I love them.”

Mo Sarpi in Milan's Chinatown serves what I consider the best sandwich in the area — a homemade crunchy bread filled with a very spiced 12-hour stewed pork that's absolutely top-tier.

Panino con Carne di Gomito e Pancia di Maiale Stufata 12 Ore
The bread is baked in the oven, partially leavened, and it's incredibly crunchy — homemade. Inside, there's this pulled pork made from elbow meat and pork belly, stewed for 12 hours with spices. It's not a typical pulled pork, it's very spiced. The look is incredible. Top-tier level. Honestly, you either get it here or you won't find anything like it elsewhere. I could eat ten in a row. Mo Sarpi, you're a legend. I need another one.
