The videos find the duo chowing down on dishes like pineapple roast pork buns, peanut noodles, steamed pork dumplings, steamed rice rolls, Cantonese BBQ spare ribs, and an array of meat skewers.
They specifically pointed to Grand Street Skewers as the "best hidden gem" in the neighborhood, noting the price per skewer hovers at $3 or below. Open until 1 a.m., the cart serves chicken hearts, grilled squid, fish balls, crispy pork belly, chicken wings, and more.
