Description
Alongside the core lineup, this neighborhood bakery serves pineapple buns and hot dog buns. While some find the pastries delicious and filling, visitor experiences point to highly inconsistent quality. Recent feedback highlights runny egg tarts with fragile crusts and dense pineapple buns. The signature char siu bao has also drawn mixed reviews, with some visitors noting an uneven balance of thick dough and sparse meat filling, occasionally carrying a sharp, vinegar-like taste.
