There is no other place like this in Madison.
I've been to some amazing Asian bakeries. There's a whole slew of them in LA with lines out the door, not to mention having spent time in Taiwan where bakeries sell freshly baked custard filled breads at 33 cents. It would be unfair to compare this place to those places.
When I say there's no other place like this in Madison, I mean that in a complimentary way because I'm so happy that such a place exists in Madison. I love that there's a place I can order a bowl of thousand year egg congee with pork and it also comes with a bread for less than $5! Seriously? This place could mark up their prices by another 50%, and still retain business because they're the only place in Madison that sells Asian bakery items.
Their breakfast combos also comes with choice of coffee or milk tea. Since I don't drink coffee, I ordered the milk tea, which was not very good. But I really didn't care because the combo was only $4.50 for plenty of food.
I also got what they call "Chinese tamales," which is glutinous rice steam with peanuts and pork in a banana leaf. It was tasty and brought back memories of what my grandma would make. They were out of the bbq pork bun and what I call the pineapple bun when I got there at 4pm on a Sunday. I was disappointed as those are my favorite, but the ones we did get were very good. The buns themselves are fluffy and mildly sweet as any good Asian bun ought to be.
Come early as they're popular enough that they run out of variety by the late afternoon.
