A week's breakfast settled in! Boston's Hong Kong-style bread ceiling

🍞 Top Bread: Boston’s Hong Kong-Style Bakery Gem—Soft, Buttery, and Irresistible Croissants are crispy, sourdough is chewy—but sometimes, all I crave is the pillowy, buttery sweetness of Hong Kong-style bread. This Chinatown spot? It’s the gold standard. Here are my go-to picks (and my friends’ too): 🌟 The Must-Buys (Headliners) Taro Toast: 🎉 My ride-or-die. Layer upon layer of real taro paste, swirled into soft, fluffy bread. Tear off a piece, and the taro oozes slightly—sweet, earthy, and so moreish. I even buy it to take back to my “small town” when I visit. It’s that good. Portuguese Egg Tarts: 🥧 Better than KFC (fight me). Flaky, buttery crust with a creamy, caramelized custard center—rich without being cloying. They rival New York’s famous Tai Pan tarts. Grab a box—you’ll finish them before you get home. 😊 For (Flaky Pastry) Lovers Pineapple Bun, Coffee Bread, Mexican Milk Cream Bun: 🥐 All winners. The pineapple bun has that signature sweet, crackly top; the coffee bread is subtly caffeinated and soft; the Mexican bun? A buttery, sweet-salty delight with a creamy filling. 🍠 Taro Obsessives, This Way Mini Taro Buns & Taro Cake Roll: The small buns are perfect for snacking—same taro goodness, just bite-sized. The cake roll (new to me!) is on my next list—stay tuned for a full review, but if it’s half as good as the toast, it’ll be great. 🥓 For Pork Floss Fans Pineapple Pork Floss Bun: 🥖 My friend swears by this—sweet pineapple bun crust with savory, fluffy pork floss inside. It’s a classic combo, and they nail the balance. The pork floss cakes? Decent, but not as standout as the bun. ✨ Bonus: Convenience You can order via 🍚 (Ricepo) for delivery—no need to brave Chinatown crowds. Plus, they have a points system—perfect for us “bread budget” folks. Budget Score: 5/5. Affordable, generous portions, and worth every penny. Top Bread isn’t just a bakery—it’s a taste of Hong Kong in Boston. For soft, buttery, nostalgia-inducing bread, this is your spot. 📍 Top Bread 77 Harrison Ave, Boston, MA 02111 #BostonBakery #HongKongStyle #ChinatownEats
