Everything we make, and what tends to run out
Forty six items across four parts of the counter. Prices are what you pay at the counter, and every item lists what it contains. If something is not on this page, we do not make it.
Filled buns
Soft milk buns, baked every morning, filled the day they are sold.
See the list
Steamed buns
Folded and closed buns, steamed in batches through the morning.
See the list
Breads
Loaves, rolls and flatbreads, baked once early and again at eleven.
See the list
Sweets and drinks
Small sweet things, and something to drink while you wait.
See the listWhat goes first, section by section
Filled buns
Cheese and onion goes first, most days before eleven. Braised beef usually follows it by about one. If you want either in the afternoon, ask us in the morning and we will put one by with your name on it.
Steamed buns
Pork belly is usually gone by half past one on a Saturday. Lamb and cumin is a Saturday only bun and often finished before noon. Plain mantou we can nearly always steam more of if you ask and can wait ten minutes.
Breads
Sourdough rounds are baked once, early, and there are about forty of them. On a Saturday they are gone by eleven. Tin loaves we bake twice, so there is usually one left in the afternoon. Flatbreads go with the lunch rush.
Sweets and drinks
Custard tarts are the first sweet thing to go, usually mid morning. Cookies last much longer. We stop making coffee about twenty minutes before closing so the machine can be stripped and cleaned.
What we can and cannot promise
Every item lists what it contains, and that list changes on this page the same day a recipe changes. Fourteen allergens are declared by name rather than hidden behind a symbol.
What we cannot offer is a kitchen free of anything. It is one room. Wheat flour is in the air, and sesame, soya, peanuts, milk and egg are handled on the same benches every day. If your reaction is serious, please talk to us before you buy and we will tell you honestly what we think.
There is more on this, including why we do not bake gluten free, in the questions people ask.
Ordering ahead
