Amazing bakery the buns are heated for you and their pineapple crusts are so crispy :D
The best tasting pineapple bun with roast pork. Excellent egg tarts. Come buy by the dozens.
Simple and no fuse bakery. Everything is super fresh. The service is fast too. So even if you see a line out the door don't be intimidated. If you don't see what you're looking for in the case, just ask because they are constantly baking and steaming for the demand. Sometimes it will take a few, but that just means you'll be lucky and get them extra extra fresh.
It is a small location so I'd personally just take my items to go, since crowds come and go.
