Im an ABC from socal, so I was raised on delicious Chinese baked goods. This bakery has tons of yummy options, but Ive only tried the nai-wo bo-lo-bao (cream filled pineapple bun), red bean bo-lo-bao, and the dan tat (egg tart). It was a bit of a test of my Chinese speaking abilities (which are basically none) because the woman working at the counter didnt seem to know any English. She, like all older Chinese people, was very amused by my lack of grace in pronouncing the aforementioned treats. But, if you really dont know any Chinese you can always just point at what looks good. When they saw I was having trouble, the opened up their holding cabinet thing of buns and let me look at them. The buns were a little flat, but that didnt affect their texture/flavor. The one thing I didnt like was that the filling of the cream bun was much creamier than Im used to. The buns back home are a bit more eggy/custardy. This was more of a French pudding/cream. The dan tat, though, AMAZING. So good. I honestly might choose these over Golden Gate bakery. Theyre not as big, but I kind of like that about them, and theyre perfectly flaky and light. Plus theres no line...so...theres not too much to think about if youre craving a good egg tart. The location is close to me, so thats another plus; I dont have to drive all the way to the Richmond to get yummy Asian snacks. And, its not quite at the heart of San Bruno Ave, so you can find parking a bit more easily. So, if youre feeling a little bit ballsy, check this place out, it wont disappoint.
