I love places that put their own unique take on an old classic so I came here with the view to sampling their infamous lotus seed paste cocktail bun - but got slightly carried away -(and how it's still a cocktail bun without the usual coconut and leftover bun filling I don't know - but it was still a nice bun in its own right)In addition to the 2 "cocktail buns", I also ordered a "bo lau yao" (pineapple bun w/butter), a coconut roll and a "dou sa bao" (bun w/red bean paste filling)Having felt li
In addition to the 2 "cocktail buns", I also ordered a "bo lau yao" (pineapple bun w/butter), a coconut roll and a "dou sa bao" (bun w/red bean paste filling)
Having felt like I'd just bought half my rights to the shop! - I was pleasantly surprised to find the 5 buns came to $20!
The lady helping out was very pleasant and accommodating - which is rare for a cha caan teng - so either way I'll come back just to "bong tsun" (~"help them"?).
So it's just my luck that the buns were nice too! Generally the bread was soft and not too airy which can especially be typical of a pineapple bun (which may sometimes have a cardboard like texture!). The red bean and lotus seed pastes were very smooth and sufficiently sweet.
The only remark I will make is that I generally like the pineapple bun to my bo lau yao to be warm so that it balances out the cold slab of butter.. But that would be slightly nit-picky (as I did arrive late morning) and the bun did emit a unique aroma about it
Verdict: go early for a nice breakfast bun. If you aren't sure what to order, the friendly staff are sure to help you out
