| - Summary: classy looking Chinese bakery has quality buns in both classic and modern styles for a high price
Top Must-Gets: curry beef pie
Top Regrets: chicken pie
I usually come here to grab a quick bite or to supplement a smaller lunch (I have a big appetite!). It's a clean, modern look with friendly staff, and it has a good vibe.
You grab a tray, a pair of tongs, and start picking from their many options. They've got traditional things like pineapple buns, but also different options like the sweet potato bun! Items range from $0.90 to $2.00. If you get six items, they'll drop the tax, but it's still relatively pricey for a Chinese bakery.
They also have an assortment of cakes as well (past the cashier, further into the store) but I haven't tried those yet!
Chicken Pie: considered one of the high end premium items ($2.00) but literally a quarter in size compared to the other premium ones. Naturally, I got it just to see what the deal was. Superb quality? Not really.
Curry Beef Pie: noticeably bigger than the chicken one, and quite good, and somehow $0.40 cheaper. The pastry flakes were just right in crunchiness, and there was a decent amount of yummy, curryful meat
Matcha Milk Bun: a favourite of my colleague and friend, these things are about the size of a fist - pretty big for a bun, with a distinct green shade! They look super smooth and enticing... however, I would say it looks better than it tastes - not that there's anything wrong with that, it was still decent, just not as good as that silky, smooth exterior would have your taste buds believe.
If you're okay with spending a little bit more for slightly bigger, and arguably tastier Chiness buns in a clean, polished environment, this is where to go.
