"Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation’s Devon Stahl goes to Mayflower for the bolo bao (Cantonese for “pineapple bun”), which is named for its distinct hatch-marked “glazed, almost cookie-like, topping” that resembles the tropical fruit. “It is messy to eat [because] the topping gets everywhere, but I consider it part of the whole experience,” she says. “The bun is light and not too sweet, perfect to pair with tea or coffee, which Mayflower Bakery also sells.” The fragrant, cloud-like sponge cake is another fan favorite." - Diana Lu
