Chinatown Bakery (Chinatown)

• Served piping hot and filled with yummy custard
• My 'dining' experience at Chinese Bakery was very much driven by the novelty of such a cute snack and they ARE indeed cute
• Each little pastry is made fresh in an odd iron baking contraption
• Using asian tastes with western styles baking
• The waffle fishes outside seem like the major attraction to most people walking by the bakery but inside is where the magic is
• The chicken curry puff is incredible
• People first tasting this incredible creation will be very confused by what it is but believe me
• The random pastries that I tried are incredible
• The prices are very low so its easy to explore everything
• With a bubble tea there is no better snack in london
• This little bakery is always crowded and for a good reason
• Even if the tayaki aren't exactly the best you can get
• Everything else on sale here is scrumptious
• From sweet to savoury you can find the best fusion of western breads and pastry with Asian flavours
• I've fond memories of of these snacks from my time in Japan and been able to taste them again with a cup of tea is the best thing I could ask
• Yet it is a place towards which (or around which if you are trying to avoid it) people gravitate
• Have sampled a variety of pastries at Chinatown bakery and the quality tends to be hit and miss though the pricing is a steal as you can walk away with 5 6 items for 10 quid
• Savoury pork pastry and Hong Kong style egg tart are highlights
• I stopped by after a night out to grab a snack and it was completely overrun by starving humans
• Velvety with a rich custard filling that was absolutely divine
