Description

The bakery's pineapple char siu bao features a less sweet profile than traditional Hong Kong versions, though some find the barbecue flavor itself is quite mild. Alongside the pork buns, the menu includes a seasonal hibiscus and berry iced tea in the summer. However, experiences can vary; visitors report occasional baking inconsistency, pointing to instances where the dough beneath the pineapple bun's golden crust remained underbaked.
