Hattendo is a cafe from Mihara, Japan that is well ... pretty famous. Famous for their cream filled buns. In Japan there are long queues of people buying these up like it was end of the world. They sell out fast and I was never lucky to get one when I was in Hiroshima. Of course, with fame they expand throughout Japan and outside like Korea and now Hong Kong.Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, right next to the already popular Cheesecake Factory, is a small cafe with a take away counter for their cream fi
Located in Tsim Sha Tsui, right next to the already popular Cheesecake Factory, is a small cafe with a take away counter for their cream filled buns.
Seating is available where they do have actual meals with a 10% service charge.
However, I wasn't too interested in that. I was only interested in the buns. They have five flavors of buns: custard, cream, matcha, red bean and chocolate. Each bun costs $22 or 5 or $100. Take away counter also includes coffee using coffee beans from Itsuki, ice cream, drinks and something called as sweet burger. They have a kitchen in the back where you can see them baking the buns. Everything, even the wrapping of the buns are made by hand as they claim, it's so delicate, they have to do it by hand so it doesn't get crushed.
I bought a custard cream filled bun. It was wrapped in the famous paper package.
Instructions and ingredients are on the back.
The paper was pretty hard to unwrap without crushing the light little bun. After unwrapping it, it was pretty small in size. No wonder the website said you can have more than one. It was the size of the palm of my hand.
But biting into it ... OMG! It was filled to the brim with creamy custard. It was light. Airy. Not heavy at all. The bread was light and fluffy. Slightly sweet as well. The cream was glorious. I wish I could swim in it and do back flips. My eyes filled with joy at this wonderful little bun filled with soft soft cream. Immediately, I wanted another but then a long queue started up and I needed to go meet boyfriend for dinner.
I still dream of this bun. Now, I understand why it is so popular in Japan. Definitely a nomworthy moment.
