Temple Snack’s Taiwanese Style 'Burger'

it's kind of funny for me when I read articles like this because as a taiwanese-american kid, I'm used to eating this kind of food and I don't think it's anything special. I suppose that it's the same the other way round for other people regarding their neighborhood eateries that get featured. so, maybe it's just because I'm spoiled but I didn't think the bun I got was good enough to be described as "heaven on a bun". as far as pork buns go though, it was probably one of the best I've had. but in comparison to some other foods I've had? it's so-so.
oh btw, it's gua bao, not guo bao.

Cook the Book: Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti

can you please clarify something? It says "1 plus 2 tablespoons (170 grams/6 ounces) all-purpose flour" in your ingredients list. Does that mean 3 tablespoons or 1 cup + 2 tablespoons? Also, I tried to make a half-portion yesterday but the dough was very loose and spread while baking so it looked like a giant cookie. Can give me some hints as to what went wrong? I probably messed up the flour since I was guestimating the amount and I think I mixed up the 1 oz. = 2 tbsp conversion, which I just now saw in the latest comment. Doh! >.>
