We finally stopped by Pink Box one night after months and months of meaning to. I really like how this place stays open till 10pm, since other nearby bakeries usually close by 7 or 8pm. After looking at our available options, my husband and I took home 3 buns:
(1) pineapple green tea with red bean filling:
I love pineapple buns, especially ones with red bean filling. This is the one bun I always get at every Taiwanese bakery. But who would have thought to incorporate green tea into it?? The green tea was a really nice touch and gave the good ol pineapple bun a nice kick to it.
(2) pineapple bun with milk cream filling;
(3) milk cream puff pastry bun;
(2) and (3) were similar except for the exterior but I personally didn't like the milk cream filling, it was a little too salty for me.
I do agree with Laura M. that this place is overpriced. I'm used to paying $1.25 -1.50 per bun, but here they charge anywhere from $1.75-2.25, and more for cakes and tarts. I see that the buns were individually wrapped which is nice and sanitary.
