Reviews
- Wren_18This place is kinda hidden — we literally walked around in circles trying to find it lol. But once we got there, wow. The signature bean paste bun had this really clear pattern on the outside, filling was nice and even, sweetness was just right, though it was a little dry. The eight-treasure sticky bean bun was the surprise of the night — outside was kinda dry and firm but the inside was packed with stuff, and the chestnut and walnut flavor really popped. The brown sugar sesame swirl roll had so many layers and the sesame paste was super rich, with that sweet brown sugar taste — honestly tasted like something my grandma used to make. The honey-baked steamed bun was sweet but not too sweet, smelled amazing. Way too many options, I wanted to try one of everything. To be fair though, it's a bit pricey for what you get.
