Review: Bun House, Chinatown EasyJet

bun house

The buns are as you’d expect – fluffy, light dough wrapped around delicious morsels (ie, more filling, please), but added sides make the whole into a fine lunch. A rice pot of chicken, ginger and spring onions was almost as good as homemade, and chilli tripe, while looking like something out of ‘Alien’, offered a deep and delicious fermented black bean flavour. Sides of smashed cucumber and picked daikon were perfect accompaniments in a space cutely taking its design cues from Hong Kong tea rooms of the 1960s.

A federal appeals court earlier sided with the RNC in a lawsuit in Pennsylvania questioning whether officials should count improperly dated absentee ballots. A Wisconsin lawsuit is targeting absentee voting procedures and ballot drop boxes. An RNC lawsuit in Arizona is aiming to invalidate or adjust the state’s 200-page elections manual while another in Mississippi seeks to prevent mail ballots from being counted if they are postmarked by Election Day but received days later. Democracy groups and legal experts said the lawsuits could pave the way for false narratives challenging the validity of the 2024 election while consuming time and staff at election offices across the country. Post-election lawsuits also could delay or obstruct certification of the results. But with recent internal changes at the RNC and added pressure from the former president, the legal maneuvering is expected to play an increasingly significant role for the party as Election Day in November approaches.

FOOD & DRINK

Bun House’s version is doused in hoisin and peanut sauce, pooled together like a syrupy Rorschach test and sprinkled with sesame seeds.New to the menu, the kaya french toast is a Bun House’s take on the Hong Kong favourite – two slices of deep fried bread doused in butter and syrup. Sweet pastry is where Bun House can really flex its muscle, and this version comes slathered in kaya spread, a sweet coconut jam made from coconut milk, eggs, and sugar. Transforming their corner of Camden Market Hawley Wharf with the sights and scents of Cantonese cuisine, this is your go-to location if you’re a fan of super-soft filled buns, tender dumplings, glass noodles and fragrant rice boxes. Recently relocated from Soho, you can now pick up a few special extras alongside their classic buns – try the curried fish balls and Cheung Fun. Christina Bobb, who has promoted false claims of a stolen 2020 election and was part of a Trump-backed fake elector scheme, was tapped to lead the department. Prioritizing election litigation also is reflected in recent changes within the RNC since Whatley and Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter-in-law, took control and reshaped the organization with a renewed focus on “election integrity.” The RNC now has “election integrity directors” in 13 states.

Maintaining accurate voter rolls by updating voters’ status is routine for election officials, who watch for death notices, changes in motor vehicle records or election mail being repeatedly returned. Michigan also uses ERIC, an interstate data-sharing pact that helps states update voter lists but has been targeted by conspiracy theories. They’re known primarily for their custard buns, which drip with a sweet, yolky filling when you bite into them. But don’t sleep on the savoury varieties – the fragrant, lemongrass-laced chicken, or the soft barbecued pork belly. Democrats and legal experts are warning about how the lawsuits might overwhelm election officials and undermine voter confidence in the the results of the balloting.

Recent lawsuits over voter roll maintenance in Michigan and Nevada are part of a larger strategy targeting various aspects of voting and election administration. Formerly of Old Compton Street, Bun House are now serving their tasty steamed buns filled with chicken, pork, fish, or vegetables in Chinatown. At just £2.50 each they’re a pretty good grab-and-go option for when you’re in the area, but if you’re looking for something more substantial you should stop in for 15 minutes and order a couple of buns, plus a side of wok fried cheung fun. Because there are only so many buns one can eat, the small but well-though-out menu takes in a selection of small dishes and rice pots too, as well as beer and tea.

“The RNC is actively deploying an army of lawyers to make it harder for Americans’ ballots to be counted,” he said. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

"We have been advised by SAG-AFTRA that its strike is lawful according to United States law but we have been advised by our U.K. lawyers that it is not lawful under United Kingdom law," Fleming says in a separate portion of his statement. "Industrial relations legislation in the United Kingdom is draconian, and often viewed as the most restrictive in the Western world," Paul W. Fleming, the General Secretary of Equity, said in a statement released to its members after SAG-AFTRA's strike announcement.

On its website, United Sovereign Americans, which Hornik said formed last summer, announced plans to file lawsuits in 23 states. They quickly realized that wasn’t the case as the 2022 midterms also generated a high number of election-related lawsuits. During an interview this month with Fox News, the RNC chairman, Michael Whatley, emphasized the party’s plans to prioritize election-related litigation. He said the RNC is recruiting and training tens of thousands of poll observers and working with thousands of attorneys.

Co-founded by husband-and-wife team Alex Peffly and Z He, the menu has been shaped by the traditional dishes of Southern China, and Z’s childhood memories of family meals and favourite foods. Championing fluffy steamed buns and freshly cooked fillings that range from umami pork belly and lardo to salty-sweet custard, the menu has also been carefully curated to offer the best of authentic Asian ingredients, freshly cooked and conveniently packaged to-go. Alongside a selection of buns, the full menu has always included a few Hong Kong specialties inspired by Z’s childhood, like hoisin sesame cheung fun or kaya french toast with clotted cream for dessert. But a recent revamp means they’ve widened their arsenal with dishes like beef short rib and satay gravy rice, hot and sour wontons, or wok fried macaroni with beef. Bun House have in the past been accused of putting style – both in terms of their restaurant’s interiors and their seasonally-decorated buns, dressed up as pumpkins for Halloween or chicks for Easter – over substance. And no, this isn’t the best Cantonese, or even the best nai wong bao, you’re going to get in the city.

Crush of lawsuits over voting in multiple states creates a shadow war for the 2024 election

The actors of the SAG-AFTRA labor organization officially voted on Thursday to strike over fair wages and the use of A.I. However, this will not affect one of the industry's biggest productions, House of the Dragon, at this point in time. “One of our biggest changes from last cycle to this cycle was making the election integrity department its own department with its own dedicated budget and focus,” Alvarez said.

Election litigation soared after the 2020 election as Trump and his allies unsuccessfully challenged his loss to Biden in dozens of lawsuits. The Democratic National Committee has a legal strategy of its own, building “a robust voter protection operation, investing tens of millions of dollars,” to counter the GOP’s efforts that seek to restrict access to the polls, spokesperson Alex Floyd said. Marly Hornik, CEO of United Sovereign Americans, one of the groups behind the Maryland lawsuit, said more lawsuits are intended in other states this year.
