About asian bakeries
Asian bakeries have their own distinct style, quite different from European baking. The breads are pillowy and slightly sweet, the cakes are light and airy rather than rich and dense, and the flavours range from red bean, taro and black sesame to matcha, ube and pandan. Japanese, Korean, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, Malaysian and Filipino bakeries each have their own specialities, and many have been embraced far beyond the communities that founded them.
What to order
- Shokupan – Japanese milk bread – thick-cut for toast or soft fruit sandos.
- Egg tart – Hong Kong-style with either flaky puff or short pastry and a silky, set custard.
- Pineapple bun (bolo bao) – Soft bun with a sweet, crackled top; best with a slab of cold butter inside.
- Curry pan – Breaded, fried bun filled with Japanese curry.
- Korean cream cheese garlic bun – Six-sided bun with sweet cream cheese and garlic butter.
