Egg tarts: Delicate, handheld tarts featuring a flaky crust filled with a creamy, lightly sweetened egg custard. One of the most quintessential Asian desserts
Pineapple Buns (Bolo Bao): Soft, pillowy buns topped with a sugary crust that, when baked, splits into a golden-brown checkered top that resembles a pineapple
Mooncakes: Round, dense pastries filled with sweet fillings like red bean paste, lotus seed paste, or egg yolks. Often eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival
Sesame Balls: Deep-fried glutinous rice balls covered in white sesame seeds and filled with red bean or lotus seed paste. Chewy and sweet, often found both in Chinatown bakeries and at dim sum
Hot Dog Buns: Soft, savory bread rolls baked around a Chinese-style hot sausage. A popular appearance in many Chinese-American childhoods
Cakes: Many cakes at Asian bakeries will traditionally boast a chiffon cake base, made from whipped egg white gently folded into the batter. That’s why cakes in Asian bakeries are typically very light and fluffy, filled with fruit and whipped cream for a fresher, lighter flavor profile
