| - Location/Service:
This bakery has been here for as long as I can remember. It is in the same plaza as Pacific Mall, just across from one of the mall entrances. The bakery opens as early as 6:30am so if you want a fresh bun for breakfast, you can get one early! I went there on a Friday morning at 8am, just before I went to work and there were loads of buns waiting to be sold/eaten. There were quite a few people there too, sitting and eating a bun or two with a hot cup of HK milk tea/coffee. There were about 5-7 tables that are good about 2 people in the bakery. It is definitely just a place for you to eat your breakfast/ a quick meal and not for your to stay long to chat with your friends.
In terms of service, there were 3 people working that morning, and they helped me when I asked them.
Food:
There is an assortment of buns. There are definitely the traditional ones like pineapple bun, cocktail bun, bbq pork bun, etc. but there are also more "different" buns like apricot jam buns, peanut butter buns, etc. Overall, the buns there are A LOT more expensive than at other bakeries. Each one is about $1.80, whereas other places are only $1.20 or less. Pineapple buns with no filling are usually just $1.00 or less, but here it is $1.5-1.8. It is ridiculous but I had to see for myself if the quality is better than other bakeries.
I bought a whole bunch of breads and tarts:
- BBQ pork Pie ($1.20): huge, but the meat tasted weird.
- Curry Beef pie ($1.20): huge, curry wasn't spicy. It was okay but not worth the price
- coconut tart ($1.20): Huge, good taste, but not buttery enough like other bakeries.
- Egg tarts ($1.20 for both butter crust and flakey crust): The butter pie crust one was really good but VERY expensive. The flakey crust one didn't sit well the next day as it became really soggy.
- Chestnut tart ($2.5): VERY good, very good buttery crust. For the price, I think it is okay since chestnuts are expensive. I will definitely get this again next time.
- Cocktail Bun ($1.20) - The outside looked different from the other bakeries so I had a hard time finding it in the first place. Unlike other places, the coconut filling was very sweet and the coconut filling was all like a smush/blended in. I do prefer if I could taste a little bit of the coconut meat texture.
- Pineapple Bun ($1.20): like any other buns, nothing special.
- Pineapple bun with custard filling (~$1.8): This was very interesting because the custard filling wasn't like the other ones I have tasted before. The filling was hard (not those that oozes out) and it tasted like those egg yolk custard buns you get from dim sum places. I really like this bun and would definitely get it again in the future.
I also ordered a chestnut birthday cake in advance. It was about 7'' and it was $30. Definitely pricey for the size. The chestnut was really good though so if someone in your family really likes to eat chestnut, I would definitely recommend getting either chestnut tarts or a chestnut cake from Brothers Bakery. Unfortunately, the HK milk tea was lacking. Too much tea and not enough milk. I'll stick to other places for hot beverages.
There's a 40% discount if you buy cakes and buns after 5pm everyday!
