It comes out with the butter inside already like this:

You absolutely have to eat it right away. You will realize that when the butter melts inside the bun and then you eat the bun, it just doesn't taste as good as having the butter "squirt" into your mouth as you feel the texture and taste with your tongue. Basically, what other people said is true; the colder the butter they use, the better as it stays intact inside the warm bun much better allowing for an elevated oral experience.

I resent that statement.

God damn I haven't had one of these in so long. I think I'll get one today. I'll post a pic :)

It better be loaded with massive slabs of butter.

it's good stuff man! you should try it out. It's usually been put in the microwave for ~3 seconds so it's not cold like a slab of ice, but still solid and intact with a bit of "Cold" when you bite into it.


YUMMY TO THE TUMMY

Yum!

If you're ever in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Lin has great fresh buns - when you go there to eat, they are constantly bringing them from the kitchen yelling things like "bolo bao, chut lo!"

They are fresh, and HUGE, and they use real lard (not shortening) and real butter (not margarine)

Mine today was good, but unfortunately they don't pack on enough butter. Especially considering how big the buns are (I can't finish a whole one myself). Next time I'll ask for more ;)

Oh and their curry beef brisket is awesome, as is their milk tea and coffee. Lo mein is good too. Their other dishes are hit-and-miss.

fuck that looks delicious

I miss having the big pineapple buns in the sai kung bakery ... the long line ups made them taste even better than they really are... too bad no butter tho :lol

oh man, u guys r evil. I'm gonna go get my fix this weekend

Dammit skinnypupp. I was wondering where in Vancouver I can get something as tasty looking as that!

then I saw "Tseung Kwan O"......:cry::cry:
Well time to book a flight back to HK

i was there today, but they dont serve pineapple buns until 8am.. fuck

^^ That butter looks way too soft!

You can ask them to serve the butter separately. So you can put in the butter yourself.

I don't get it, why can't they make em here (vancouver) like they do in HK? Is it the flour?

I took the picture almost 7 minutes after it came out. :lol

Not all places have great buns here. 90% of the population goes to the chain bakeries - St Honore, Maxims, Tai Pan, Kee Wah, etc. They all suck, for the most part. They use shitty ingredients (shortening, margarine, etc) and aren't as fresh (they make them at one location and ship them out to the stores.

You have to find the restaurants that do their own baking, and use proper ingredients to get good buns like this. The one I mentioned was great. There is also this little 'hole in the wall' place in Kwun Tong we go to. The guy bakes all day with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and his big fat pregnant looking belly hanging out. But he makes great buns, and they are cheap ($5 HKD for any 3 buns - that's about $0.75 CAD).

Stay away from the shiny looking places that are packed with 9-to-5ers during rush hour trying to spike their blood sugar to be able to make the trip home. Find a local bakery, and you will get good buns.

As far as Richmond goes, IIRC, Kam Do was always good (at least for their lo por bang) and there was another in that strip mall between aberdeen and parker place that was good (their cocktail buns were great).

Kam Do lo por bengs are so good

and I like the eggtart at the place skinnypupp is talking about (cocktail buns)... it's called lai jing in canto

I just realized that Lai Jing translates vaguely to "pretty sperm" in English...
But yeah it's that place under ninkazu

you know you could've just added money to switch that small bun in the ham and egg plate to the pineapple bun and saved ordering one on the side haha

Obviously he's not asian enough unless he was hungry. That's one heck of a breakfast! Eggs/ham and instant noodles plus BUN!

That's what I asked them for but they still gave me the small bun. :confused:
