New Town Bakery & Restaurant

• its a park-get your order-and go kinda place
• free and limited parking, can get busy during weekends
• its not a very clean and inviting place but I love their Baos & goodies
• Baos: you can have plain, pork bbq, chicken, etc.
They’re great if you eat them right away. Otherwise, steam it again when you want to have one to go. Alternative: wet a paper towel, wrap it on the bao then microwave for 45seconds
• Baked buns: are actually great in the next ... up to 2 days as is, microwave it and its good!
• Glutinous rice balls with red bean: one of my fave! I can have this anytime! Soft, chewy, nicely flavours

Try their prawn turnovers!. That is all.

New town. So it a chinese bakery, or a filipino bakery? and or restaurant? not quite sure...
never tried the restaurant part of this place. but i do like a couple of items from their bakery menu: pork & vegetable steamed buns and the prawn turnovers. tastes more like large dim sum to me than bakery items tho?? the steamed buns are always fresh but the deep fried prawn turnovers are so hit and miss. sometimes they have been sitting around for a while and they are rock hard/hurt your teeth kind of old and other times, they are soft and delicious. we have promised ourselves to never get the turnovers again if it's later on in the day.
asado (bbq pork buns) seem to be really popular here, but i find them too sweet for my liking and i don't like the random chunks of pork fat/skin in them either.
don't like anything else i have tried so far. egg tarts are ok but the pork turnovers are really greasy and their red bean paste is nasty.
service is nasty as well but the pork and vegetable buns are so yummy and cheap that i put up with it =P

update: a relative bought a box of mixed steamed buns so i got to try a bit of a few different kinds. veggie and red bean had a pathetic portion of filling (like really pathetic), meat buns had very healthy portions of filling but the beef bun was raw in the center (posted a picture). thank god we were cutting the buns up beforehand to share so none of us ate or got sick from this. beware!!
