NT, somebody school me on chinese bakeries

[jerryjones]

Alright, so I consider myself a connoisseur of food, and I love trying foods from different cultures. I've always wanted to check out some Chinese baked goods but don't no where to start.  My Chinese NT'ers or anyone who is familiar, break it down for me..how does this stuff taste? what should i get?

In the first pic the bun with the yellow crust is a pineapple bun which is crack.

Steamed BBQ Pork Bun

Egg Tarts (Don Tat)
Pineapple Bun (Bo Lo Bow)

BBQ Pork Bun  (Cha Siu Bow)  These come steamed or baked.  It's all crack, but you should probably start with steamed.

Feel free to thank me with monetary gifts or offerings of beautiful women

Egg tarts have been a favorite of mine since childhood.

Chinese and most of those are disgusting. Only good ones are the pork buns and egg custard tarts.

10th pic is the best. The yellow custard is made from coconut

 

[danger style]

Why dont you just try everything in the pictures you posted?

They're all

 

[boys noize]

Try it all. Most of it is delicious.

My favorite is the second pic. They're called Gai Mei Bao. They're a bun filled with a coconut/butter/egg mixture and it's incredible.

I'm also a huge fan of Dan Tat which are egg custard tarts. The more obscure Macanese cousin to Dan Tat is called Po Tat and it's also great.

 

[jawnyquest]

chinese and bakery doesnt even go together to me

especially when they're fresh from the oven

. Cocktail bun is this btw...

I highly recommend getting these two but they have to be fresh from the oven or still warm. If I had to choose one, I'll go for the egg tart.

All of it looks interesting but the only thing I can vouch for is the steamed bbq pork bun 

 

[servechilled81]

the look good
these gave me chuckle though

 

[ooiron manoo]

Chinese bakeries are appreciated 

Bakeries in general are appreciated...

*Hits the gym*

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

85 degree bakery

That place is awesome.

*Yes, I am aware it's Taiwanese and not Chinese. So calm down.*

 

[shoedinidc]

I'm not gonna lie, most of them thangs gross except for the egg tart and the one with coconut. My neighbor owns a Asian bakery and brings this stuff all the time

 

[chino905]

I love the egg tart, along with a lot of the buns. Finish it off with some milk bubble tea and your good for the day
