"You'll know you've arrived at this small cash-only bakery by spotting the mooncake photos taped to the window. The face-sized pineapple buns are always squishy and fresh, and usually still warm when they’re pulled off the baking trays and packed neatly into pink boxes. The glass case at the front is a gleaming pastry utopia of egg tarts, baked char siu bao, and sponge cakes that are puffed up like hot air balloons awaiting ascent. There are a few tables inside and Portsmouth Square Park is just a couple blocks away." - megan zhang, julia chen 1, patrick wong
