Full menu

Baked Buns

Bo Lo BaoThe pineapple bun, named for its crackly, golden sugar-cookie crust rather than any fruit; the milk bread beneath stays fluffy.
Gai Mei BaoCocktail bun filled with a sweet, buttery coconut paste and topped with two decorative stripes and sesame seeds.
Baked Char Siu BaoA glossy, honey-glazed bun wrapped around chopped Cantonese barbecue pork in a sweet-savory oyster sauce gravy.
Hot Dog BunA cocktail sausage coiled in soft, slightly sweet bread, sometimes with ketchup and scallions, a nostalgic lunchbox snack.

Steamed & Dim Sum To-Go

Lo Mai GaiGlutinous rice steamed in a lotus leaf with chicken, Chinese sausage, and mushroom, absorbing the leaf's tea-like aroma.
Siu MaiOpen-topped steamed dumplings of minced pork and shrimp in thin yellow wrappers, juicy and bouncy, often garnished with roe.
Har GowTranslucent wheat-starch dumplings pleated around plump whole shrimp, slippery-chewy with a clean, sweet seafood flavor.
Lo Bak GoTurnip cake of shredded daikon, rice flour, Chinese sausage, and dried shrimp, steamed then pan-fried for a crisp crust.

Pastries & Tarts

Char Siu SouLayered pastry rectangles filled with diced barbecue pork, brushed with egg and sesame, savory and sweet.
Curry Beef PuffA crisp pastry turnover filled with ground beef, onion, and potato in a mild yellow curry, a Hong Kong snack-shop favorite.
Dan TatHong Kong egg tart with a flaky or shortcrust shell holding a smooth, glossy yellow custard, best eaten warm.
Wife CakeLo po beng: a round, flaky pastry filled with chewy winter-melon paste and sesame, sweet and subtly perfumed.
