The sausage bun: a classic where I live. The sausage croissant: rare, but a classic. The flying sausage bun: BEST THING ON EARTH,10/10! The Coconut Cream Bun: Depends on the area, but still awesome. Not my favourite because of the cream. The Tuna Bun: *dead* translation: another 10/10! The Pineapple Bun: Meh The Sweet Potato Bun: it's not my favourite but it's good. The Pork Floss Bun: *revived* It's so good, it brings you back to life. The Roast Pork Bun: You either love it or hate it, prefer it dim sum style. The Taro Bun: It's not my favourite, I don't know how to feel about it. The Char Siew Pau: Depends on how you make it, I love it. The Sesame Ball: *dead again* It['s good enough to kill, but I prefer the sesame filling. The Egg Tart: meh, depends on the flakiness and the sugar level. My opinion on the buns from my childhood up until today.
Scientificunicorns :3 there’s a bakery near me that sells a Mexico pork floss bun, and it is bomb. Idk why they call it Mexican, th eonly difference is the outside of the bread is crispy, and the inside is a nice soft cake
I love the red roast pork buns. I have a few vegetarian friends who refer to those buns as the "mystery buns" due to not knowing what kind of meat it is.
I know you don't like roast pork buns but my absolute favorite baked roast pork bun is from Hop Shing in Chinatown Manhattan. I promise you it's not red. Most of the time it still warm and chewy and delicious.
OMG. I love Chinese bakeries! I grew up just north of Toronto and I've gone to dim sum and bakeries my whole life. My favourite are egg tarts, bbq pork bun, the hotdog one is ok, coconut tarts, curry beef bun, I haven't seen some of these buns though, nice job.
Yes, these are the best videos. All I Have known of chinese food has been rice stir fry And the Generals Chiken dish. Who knew there are bakeries with meat in the buns. It is all amazing! Love it. Bean paste and sweet potato in buns, also.
As a hong kong people, we tried all sorts of buns since we were kid. And for me, now I only eat pineapple bun when I go to bakery, and there's only one rule eating pineapple bun - freshly baked. A freshly baked pineapple bun is 10x better, and if it's not fresh, I don't even bother to look at it. (also apply to egg tart, that feeling when u know u gonna burn yr mouth but u still eat the eggtart lol) I eat hotdog bun sometimes, only when I'm broke and hungry, because it's cheap and has protein lol
Have tou ever tried the ived fire pineapple buttery bun, it is a freshly baked pineapple bun with a little cut in the middle where u put a iced butter inside, and omfg it taste soo good
REAL Czech kolaches are the fruit filled ones, but we Texans adapted them into what he was showing! I wonder if the hotdog he was showing is a true hotdog or more sausage-like like the kolaches we have.
I live next door in Arkansas, the Chinese donut places here have sausage kolaches too. I hate calling them "hot dogs" XD it's not like a ballpark dog, it's more like a smoked sausage.
the pineapple bun makes me think of japanese melon pan which is the same idea - basically a round bun that is baked with a buttery, sugary crust that starts to resemble the outside of a melon when it is done. personally it depends on the day if i can stomach them or not. sweet potato buns ARE SO SO SO GOOD and so is mochi with red bean filling! i will have to try that sesame mochi bun when i can!
omg...each one of these looks sooo delicious, my mouth is watering. I am sure I would have a hard time choosing just a couple of them if I were there, cuz I would want to try them all haha
I went to a chinese bakery in manhattan's china town the week of Chinese New Year and it was so full and no one spoke english so i just pointed at the pineapple buns and they were DELICIOUS and warm. If it hadn't been so busy and chaotic i would have looked around for other things to try but the pineapple bun is amazing, so so amazing, love the coating on top, the color, and how soft the bread is. Love this video for introducing me to more things i can order next time i go to a chinese bakery. You're a cool guy Mikey.
What about the pineapple bun it is famous in Hong Kong. The outside flaky but inside is soft. Old wife cakes, green tea rolls. I had the hot dog in roll but had no way to split in half so ate the roll instead leaving rest hot dog intact it was funny.
The Chinese grocery near me has a fresh bakery and they make this weird bun with strawberry jam and pork floss. Yeah you read that right pork floss and it's awesomely sweet and salty.
I have yet to see a single bakery in Japan that doesn't have hotdogs, which I unfortunately started to hate as a child. The curry, sweet potato and red bean buns are great though!
my fave is the caterpillar bun i had in the local Holiland back home- its like a flat and really long eclair with criss-crossy stripes on it, and its filled with custard its awesome
Those all my childhood! Every time my mom bought me some of those I was very happy cause my family was poor at that time. Every time I eat that hot dog in the buns I always eat the buns first leave the hot dog to the end because its the best part. This video really let me reminder lots of my childhood. Make me wanna go back to China.T_T
+Phoebe Seitz Oh man, I feel the same way about the hotdog buns. We were poor too and having those buns would be a rare treat, but I'd eat the buns first then savour the hotdog slowly haha. Definitely brings back a lot of memories!
We use to have a Chinese bakery in town. I liked their roast pork buns and melon buns. I visited a Japanese bakery in Chicago and I liked their curry buns and bacon stuffed french bread.
OMG. I LOVE the egg tarts, pineapple bun, and the cream filled one😍😍. I use to make my mom get them for me all the time when I lived in China! so many memories. and food...
When you did the video about the Pasteis de nata it made me really curious about the Chinese ones. Thank you for making a direct comparison of the two.
really? Really? Chinese bread is almost like cake; if it is a dessert item its supposed to be sweet. American (or European) bread is not supposed to be sweet and it isn't
DanielJJ not bread, I was talking about deserts like cakes, pies etc.:) Bakery should not be limited to bread right? Maybe I am wrong. Bread is fine. Even though deserts are supposed to be sweet, too sweet for me. I think most Chinese will agree. We don't eat that much sugar. When I taste sweet, you may think it is bland. And there is no such thing as Chinese bread...If you are talking about steamed buns/bread, in northern China, they are not sweet at all, no sugar what so ever; in southern China, they are slightly sweet, so slightly that you will consider them bland.
No, I was not talking about the steamed buns, which seem to be more authentic Chinese cuisine. No, I'm talking about the Chinese imitation western bread, comes in a very rectangular loaf and is horrible bread. Like I said, desserts are supposed to be sweet, but bread, like regular sandwich bread is certainly not supposed to be sweet, but in Chinese bakeries (in Canada and China and Korea, for that matter) they are very sweet - like I said its like cake
never had those "bread" haha. American bread is fine. But deserts are not... As a native Chinese, I will never eat something that sweet, even for deserts. My sweet tolerance level is not high. If those things exist, I'm certainly not a customer:) I was shocked when I first saw the annual average consumption of sugar in America. Our tastes are totally different.
There are some native Chinese cuisines that are traditionally very high in sugar - Shanghai for example. North American cuisine, except for desserts don't have a lot of sugar (unless you are talking about preprocessed foods - then you get a ton of salt and sugar) And it seems in Korea and China, most of your snacks (and I mean chips and junk food, not street food) are sugary instead of salty as they are over here. So, we just have our sugar in our desserts while you (a large %) have it spread out in your other foods
There is a Korean bakery that I love to go to. They have the absolute best red bean paste buns in DFW. Not too sweet, light and fluffy and not sticky. They're amazing :)
I'm married to a Chinese for more than 11 years and now we are living in Shanghai for 2 years... My problem with Chinese bakeries is... I'm German. Germans love their bread. Chinese bread isn't bread, it's (SWEET!) cake mixed with some salty stuff in it. Not my cup of tea. (I guess Americans are used to eat sweet bread all the time. Not so much German people. Our bread normally doesn't have any sugar in it!)
I've never eaten at a Chinese Bakery. Mikey when I come to to NY. I will follow you, Dan and Yi anywhere. The food looks unbelievable and hanging out with you guys would be soooo fun.
i like to microwave my cream bun lol..i love how the melted caramlized cream taste on the bun. and very rarely a baked pork bun from a bakery will be good. i have found one place in san francisco which i think is the best for baked pork buns even though it isn't as good as it use to be lol
These are the Chinese version is always dense as the filling is comprised only of a simple red bean paste, densely packed into a ball shape. Personally I've never called this mochi... The Japanese version of this filling is indeed very light and airy, but: The red bean filling is made with red beans, sugar (or maple syrup or honey), and rice flour.
how can you not like pineapple buns？it's like the king of buns! pineapple buns need to be eaten hot and toasty while the cookie shell on top is still crunchy，try it with a piece of cold butter inside, it's HEAVEN
John Charles lol maybe not that extreme, but someone who loves when I make food with this kind of entusiasme. My husband usually loves my food, but I wish I got this response to my food xD
I love good food, and I always make sure I show my appreciation to the chef for all the time and effort they put in to making my meal! Oh yeah, and I love love love nice sweet buns...
I really like the videos you make. It feels like I'm talking to a friend when I watch them. I get to learn some new foods and all about the minor details in East Asian culture I'm not aware of. Thanks for making these videos.
Strictly Dumpling I really liked this video! I would love to see a video showing the best places to eat in Chinatown, or a video of a newbie's guide to REAL Chinese food, an introduction or primer so to speak. So a person could maybe get by on their own? Perhaps a series, like intro to types of dumplings, types of noodles, etc. I would love to know what dishes are more traditional and what dishes have been over Americanized. Thanks! I love this channel.
the 2 first buns with hot dog aren't really chinese buns, don't know what bein serve in US but in France you find those in regular snacking or bakery but not in a chinese one
as someone who's been to Hong Kong, they do have the hot dog buns there in all the bakeries and they are very popular. I can't speak for mainland China though.
I'm from Hawai and one thing. I can say is I understand the fact you don't like Taro. It's an item of food that takes getting used too. It's not really a potato more like the root and leaf and you grind it into a paste. Some people would let it ferment a bit and it would become sour which is a favorite of those who stick to traditional Hawaiian food. The pork buns here we call Manapuas. Basically charshu pork in a steamed or fried Chinese sweet bun. There aren't too bad but it just depends on where you get them honestly
I came across your Vegas buffet video, and now I watch all your videos, you do great work... I'm from Sydney Australia and love watching food videos, what I like about yours is watching you eat the food and your honest reaction to the taste.. If I may make a suggestion it would be, telling us how much the food cost, how much the buffet cost, how much a bun cost, or the sea food hot pot?. A lot of people make their plans around cost? And I just like to no anyway,I don't no why? Thanks for all the great videos..
+Malia F Totally agree with you. You are right on the money. We do make plans around cost, particularly on trips. Yes, it would be really nice to know the cost of the items. Come to think of it, keeping track of it may be a bit daunting in a case such as this where mike eat a tons of different pastries. How much he can eat is amazing. What talent.
In New Zealand the bun with cream and coconut its kinda reminds me of what we call a Cream Dounut. The Difference is the bread is slightly fired then covered in icing sugar then filled with fresh cream and dollop of jam.
I wouldn't have thought of that, but while it might appear weird to some other nations, the first two buns are common items in Greece as well (the term we use for all such buns filled with sausage is "λουκανικόπιτα" - literally "sausage pie").
In nz we have alot of Asian bakeries I love eating the first sausage bun he had, the cream bun is a fav, the pork buns too but I love the bbq pork buns, and I love the mochi ones too.
that's also called "char siu" and if you are familiar with Hawaiian food, char siu is definitely the term. I think in Hawaii the same buns are called manapu'a. if you go to Fayda, which it looked like you did, they have zhongtze -the lotus wrapped kind. they also have a char siu and meat pie with really flaky crust. those are really good. and the corn mayo and ham bun. love that one.
The sausage bun: a classic where I live.
The sausage croissant: rare, but a classic.
The flying sausage bun: BEST THING ON EARTH,10/10!
The Coconut Cream Bun: Depends on the area, but still awesome. Not my favourite because of the cream.
The Tuna Bun: *dead* translation: another 10/10!
The Pineapple Bun: Meh
The Sweet Potato Bun: it's not my favourite but it's good.
The Pork Floss Bun: *revived* It's so good, it brings you back to life.
The Roast Pork Bun: You either love it or hate it, prefer it dim sum style.
The Taro Bun: It's not my favourite, I don't know how to feel about it.
The Char Siew Pau: Depends on how you make it, I love it.
The Sesame Ball: *dead again* It['s good enough to kill, but I prefer the sesame filling.
The Egg Tart: meh, depends on the flakiness and the sugar level.
My opinion on the buns from my childhood up until today.
I've had most of these buns, I still enjoy them 2 this day. Btw, this video was basically most of my childhood snacks
Egg Tart from honk kong the best
Scientificunicorns :3 WHAT U DONT LIKE PINEAPPLE BREAD??!
Scientificunicorns :3 there’s a bakery near me that sells a Mexico pork floss bun, and it is bomb. Idk why they call it Mexican, th eonly difference is the outside of the bread is crispy, and the inside is a nice soft cake
I have all of these in my local bakery, And we have authentic Chinese food near us
"this is my favorite bun" -Mike about every bun
I love the red roast pork buns. I have a few vegetarian friends who refer to those buns as the "mystery buns" due to not knowing what kind of meat it is.
It's actually mashed up BBQ pork. Yum!
Tell them It's cabbage
the coconut cream bum is AWESOME. I always get this and the sesame balls with red bean fillings when I go to chinese bakeries.
I know you don't like roast pork buns but my absolute favorite baked roast pork bun is from Hop Shing in Chinatown Manhattan. I promise you it's not red. Most of the time it still warm and chewy and delicious.
Usually, the pineapple bun I eat is a circle shape and I love it warm. It's quite puffy so I always squish it before eating and it tastes good
I usually peel off and eat the top part and give the bread to someone else lol
Flora Chan I have a bun, I have pineapple. Uh! Pineapple bun. (I'm sorry.)
@@mediumbelly that is literally just sugar...
my favorite bun is char siu bao. steam or roasted, stuffing or with out stuffing.
Then it's just bread.
Steamed pork baos are insanely good
That UFO hot dog bun is my absolute favorite. I loved it when I was a little kid and I still do to this day. So good..
OMG. I love Chinese bakeries! I grew up just north of Toronto and I've gone to dim sum and bakeries my whole life. My favourite are egg tarts, bbq pork bun, the hotdog one is ok, coconut tarts, curry beef bun, I haven't seen some of these buns though, nice job.
If you haven't tried pork floss, you must try it. It's so good, you can eat it straight out of the can.
Duck I love pork floss
I've had Japanese. red bean mochi balls but never fried with sesame seeds! sounds awesome! wish there was a Chinese bakery on Maui!
Desiree Paahana
They serve em in Chinese buffet places.
“This is just breakfast." damn feast
I love roast pork bun, red bean paste sesame ball, scallion bun. I get them at a bakery in London Chinatown.
Coconut buns - MY PASSION!!😍😍💜💜💜
My childhood xD just saved the hotdog till the end and ate the bun. Idk why
Lol I did that too😂
+MrPeirrotGaming I never liked eating the sausage with the bun to be honest.
+MrPeirrotGaming Thats weird, I would do that 40% of the time and eat the hot dog first 40% of the time.
Same, i would 100% eat the bun of a hotdog.
+MrPeirrotGaming Ahaha me too, since for me the hotdog was the best part and the faster I ate the bun the more of it I'd get to taste in the end XD
How long were u in a sugar coma after eating all that good stuff
Roza Ventura were?
Did I spell it wrong lol
Roza Ventura haha no i mean im still in food coma
No more buns for u for a long while lol
:-)
Yes, these are the best videos. All I Have known of chinese food has been rice stir fry
And the Generals Chiken dish. Who knew there are bakeries with meat in the buns.
It is all amazing! Love it. Bean paste and sweet potato in buns, also.
coconut cream buns are my favorite ❤❤
I thought it would be Starbucks.
As a hong kong people, we tried all sorts of buns since we were kid. And for me, now I only eat pineapple bun when I go to bakery, and there's only one rule eating pineapple bun - freshly baked.

"As a Hong Kong people"
Boi.
So cantonese of you haha
So you think it tastes taroble?
Boi
Pork floss with a little bit of seaweed on a bun is amazing! A few Chinese bakeries i went to had the pork floss buns with a sprinkle of seaweed
Hot-dog in a bun is basically a kolache! We eat those in Texas. They're Czech. I'll have to try the chinese variety!
Alexa ♥ THANK YOU!!! You're the only person I could find, other than myself, who knows what it really is! And he calls himself a foodie...lol
does no one else know what kolaches are? that's weird...
REAL Czech kolaches are the fruit filled ones, but we Texans adapted them into what he was showing! I wonder if the hotdog he was showing is a true hotdog or more sausage-like like the kolaches we have.
In Malaysia we call them sausage buns and I personally eat them when I miss my meals or am craving a snack
I live next door in Arkansas, the Chinese donut places here have sausage kolaches too. I hate calling them "hot dogs" XD it's not like a ballpark dog, it's more like a smoked sausage.
the pineapple bun makes me think of japanese melon pan which is the same idea - basically a round bun that is baked with a buttery, sugary crust that starts to resemble the outside of a melon when it is done. personally it depends on the day if i can stomach them or not. sweet potato buns ARE SO SO SO GOOD and so is mochi with red bean filling! i will have to try that sesame mochi bun when i can!
omg...each one of these looks sooo delicious, my mouth is watering.
I am sure I would have a hard time choosing just a couple of them if I were there, cuz I would want to try them all haha
Mei Wang gotta get them all!
Strictly Dumpling hi where is this bakery？
I LOVE THE SESAME BALL BUN!!!
No you don't.
Roast pork buns are the best
I went to a chinese bakery in manhattan's china town the week of Chinese New Year and it was so full and no one spoke english so i just pointed at the pineapple buns and they were DELICIOUS and warm. If it hadn't been so busy and chaotic i would have looked around for other things to try but the pineapple bun is amazing, so so amazing, love the coating on top, the color, and how soft the bread is. Love this video for introducing me to more things i can order next time i go to a chinese bakery. You're a cool guy Mikey.
What about the pineapple bun it is famous in Hong Kong. The outside flaky but inside is soft. Old wife cakes, green tea rolls. I had the hot dog in roll but had no way to split in half so ate the roll instead leaving rest hot dog intact it was funny.
I completely agree with your statement on the sesame seed bun it's one of my all time favorites.
I'm sitting here contemplating those delicious buns and wondering why I'm still eating my cereal ... Thanks for another awesome video !
I'm Asian and I grew up with all these buns. Hotdog, Pork Floss, Curry Potatoes, Char Siew, etc. I love them all!
omg that sesame ball is my absolute favorite!
I agree
The Chinese grocery near me has a fresh bakery and they make this weird bun with strawberry jam and pork floss. Yeah you read that right pork floss and it's awesomely sweet and salty.
I have yet to see a single bakery in Japan that doesn't have hotdogs, which I unfortunately started to hate as a child.
The curry, sweet potato and red bean buns are great though!
my fave is the caterpillar bun i had in the local Holiland back home- its like a flat and really long eclair with criss-crossy stripes on it, and its filled with custard its awesome
Those all my childhood! Every time my mom bought me some of those I was very happy cause my family was poor at that time. Every time I eat that hot dog in the buns I always eat the buns first leave the hot dog to the end because its the best part. This video really let me reminder lots of my childhood. Make me wanna go back to China.T_T
+Phoebe Seitz Oh man, I feel the same way about the hotdog buns. We were poor too and having those buns would be a rare treat, but I'd eat the buns first then savour the hotdog slowly haha. Definitely brings back a lot of memories!
So you had succ back then
First Last No Succ. Succ is dead.
Carb overload. Creamed corn bun is nice. Not cornbread but cooked corn kernels on top of the bun. Like hotdog bun and coconut cream bun.
I LOVE TARO
TARO BUN
TARO MILK TEA
TARO BOBA
I LOVE ITTTTTT
Pikotaro
Kevin Renn The pineapple bun in this video... Pikotaro approves.
Zeawesomeivdgaming The Filipino Mango Queen sorry I don't like taro
lifang zheng aw .-.
But that's ok, everybody has their own opinion ^^
Zeawesomeivdgaming The Filipino Mango Queen never had taro before
I love steamed and baked pork buns, I make dipping sauce using soy sauce and chili oil and it tastes so savory and sweet at the same time.
8:30 "I feel like taro has an identity crisis..."
...
Everything you ate in this video has an identity crisis
Really interesting to see what different Chinese buns the USA has compared to UK, we have pineapple bun that has the roast pork filling, so delicious!
HOW are you so damn fit when you eat all this stuff?! xD
EDIT: You guys are great, the replies where funny lol!

We have the same items in our Korean and Japanese bakeries. Do you have a curry bun? Or a potato salad bun?
Oh my god, curry bun is so good
maxine my chemical danisaur lo YEAH, but fattening!!!!!
I've never seen them in Chinese bakeries but I wish we had them!
curry bun is bae
Yes some bakeries have curry buns. But more often they have curry puffs with flakey pastry or deep fried doughnut pastry.
We use to have a Chinese bakery in town. I liked their roast pork buns and melon buns. I visited a Japanese bakery in Chicago and I liked their curry buns and bacon stuffed french bread.
omg coconut cream buuuuns~~~~
OMG. I LOVE the egg tarts, pineapple bun, and the cream filled one😍😍. I use to make my mom get them for me all the time when I lived in China! so many memories. and food...
oh and the sesame balls too😝
Aqua Dragon My favorite are the lotus pastries, BBQ pork buns, glutinous coconut rice balls, and sliced red bean bread.
Omg you missed the corn and ham bun, its so good!
No it isn't.
you're crazy
It is only meh
The sweetness of the bread and the saltiness of the hotdog go so well together
Bun pineapple apple bun :D

blank00 Haha I knew I wasn't the only one noticing. I have a bun, I have pineapple... :D
Sesame/red bean mochi ball FTW!!!! Especially when there right out of the fryer! Chicken curry bun rox the blox!

You have such a healthy appetite....marry me😂😂😂
I love the bun that has toppings on top of it, I also love the stuff bun of pork, and the bun that has hotdog on four side. Yummy yummy yummy.
I'm married to a Chinese for more than 11 years and now we are living in Shanghai for 2 years... My problem with Chinese bakeries is... I'm German. Germans love their bread.

sonicgeek nice!!!

THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite is the egg custard bun & the black bean bun. Sometimes, they deceive you with red bean paste, but I can tell the difference!
The mochi balls are actually supposed to be airy on the inside and not dense
These are the Chinese version is always dense as the filling is comprised only of a simple red bean paste, densely packed into a ball shape. Personally I've never called this mochi... The Japanese version of this filling is indeed very light and airy, but: The red bean filling is made with red beans, sugar (or maple syrup or honey), and rice flour.

I love men who loves food and eat a lot :D
Madelaine Thomsen you mean fatass men with double chins and a fat big belly.
John Charles lol maybe not that extreme, but someone who loves when I make food with this kind of entusiasme. My husband usually loves my food, but I wish I got this response to my food xD
Madelaine Thomsen Then I've got a man for you, look up ,"JoeysWorldTour"
Lol I would praise your food
I love good food, and I always make sure I show my appreciation to the chef for all the time and effort they put in to making my meal! Oh yeah, and I love love love nice sweet buns...
They have all these in like every other bakery in Singapore! Grew up eating all these yummy buns for breakfast and tea time!
Why delicious tasty food is baaaad for you?!
Irayda E. Tejeda R life is not fair
You are right Strictly Dumpling
I really like the videos you make. It feels like I'm talking to a friend when I watch them. I get to learn some new foods and all about the minor details in East Asian culture I'm not aware of. Thanks for making these videos.
reminds me of home in Malaysia....the texture and savory .....sigh :(
All of these buns look pretty great. I will definitely have to try them out. Thanks for sharing!
Portuguese here
Strictly Dumpling I really liked this video! I would love to see a video showing the best places to eat in Chinatown, or a video of a newbie's guide to REAL Chinese food, an introduction or primer so to speak. So a person could maybe get by on their own? Perhaps a series, like intro to types of dumplings, types of noodles, etc. I would love to know what dishes are more traditional and what dishes have been over Americanized. Thanks! I love this channel.
***** thanks!!!
There is no Chinese bakery in my town. My life is sad now.
I love the way you talk about food!! And all the faces you make! More videos like these!!
kaodull haha Thanks :-)
You eat all that ? That easily 4000 cal or more. And just for breakfast?
I have tried almost all of these buns you mentioned and LOVE THEM ALL. TYSM FOR THIS VIDEO.
Excuse me while I drive 45 minutes to my nearest Chinatown...
Taros are awesome! It has potatoes' texture, but has its distinct taro flavor.
the 2 first buns with hot dog aren't really chinese buns, don't know what bein serve in US but in France you find those in regular snacking or bakery but not in a chinese one
as someone who's been to Hong Kong, they do have the hot dog buns there in all the bakeries and they are very popular. I can't speak for mainland China though.
ivan bijelic they are in chinese bakeries
+Panic! At The Fall Out Pity Party really like i said never seen one in french chinese bakery before but it's not like i've went to all
ivan bijelic
& taiwanése bakeries too.
To all their own.. ✔️
Mike thank you for eating FOR ME. Mike Chen eats for the people!
So basic General Tso's chicken gets an authenticity frown from a takeout menu, but the hot dog UFO is ok?
Lol I just watched that episode
I love it how every bun at the beginning of the video is your favourite! I'm not surprised though, they would be all my favourites as well! :)
There is also a custard bun that is popular around where I'm from. It is fairly sweet and also has a strong egg taste.
I'm from Hawai and one thing. I can say is I understand the fact you don't like Taro. It's an item of food that takes getting used too. It's not really a potato more like the root and leaf and you grind it into a paste. Some people would let it ferment a bit and it would become sour which is a favorite of those who stick to traditional Hawaiian food. The pork buns here we call Manapuas. Basically charshu pork in a steamed or fried Chinese sweet bun. There aren't too bad but it just depends on where you get them honestly
You know what Mikey...I could get all these buns you recommended in any of the bakery shops in Singapore! They are some of my favourites too!
I came across your Vegas buffet video, and now I watch all your videos, you do great work...
I'm from Sydney Australia and love watching food videos, what I like about yours is watching you eat the food and your honest reaction to the taste.. If I may make a suggestion it would be, telling us how much the food cost, how much the buffet cost, how much a bun cost, or the sea food hot pot?. A lot of people make their plans around cost? And I just like to no anyway,I don't no why? Thanks for all the great videos..
+Malia F Totally agree with you. You are right on the money. We do make plans around cost, particularly on trips. Yes, it would be really nice to know the cost of the items. Come to think of it, keeping track of it may be a bit daunting in a case such as this where mike eat a tons of different pastries. How much he can eat is amazing. What talent.
I absolutely love the sesame ball with mung bean. Its my favorite thing
The Coconut cream bun is my all time favorite, it's so delicious
Fried mochi balls and BBQ pork buns are my favorites.
1:59 !! That’s my fav!! There’s one with ham instead of sausages and it’s soo good
In New Zealand the bun with cream and coconut its kinda reminds me of what we call a Cream Dounut. The Difference is the bread is slightly fired then covered in icing sugar then filled with fresh cream and dollop of jam.
Everything is your favorite.....my favorite bun is Mexican bun.
I wouldn't have thought of that, but while it might appear weird to some other nations, the first two buns are common items in Greece as well (the term we use for all such buns filled with sausage is "λουκανικόπιτα" - literally "sausage pie").
I like any bun with green onions . The tuna bun look and sound so delicious.
Pineapple bun is amazing. Love it!
Omg I love Chinese bakeries!!
The sesame ball!!!
The fish and chicken sandwiches and pork sandwiches so cheap!!
In nz we have alot of Asian bakeries I love eating the first sausage bun he had, the cream bun is a fav, the pork buns too but I love the bbq pork buns, and I love the mochi ones too.
that's also called "char siu" and if you are familiar with Hawaiian food, char siu is definitely the term. I think in Hawaii the same buns are called manapu'a.
if you go to Fayda, which it looked like you did, they have zhongtze -the lotus wrapped kind. they also have a char siu and meat pie with really flaky crust. those are really good. and the corn mayo and ham bun. love that one.
