"this is my favorite bun" -Mike about every bun

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 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.

the coconut cream bum is AWESOME. I always get this and the sesame balls with red bean fillings when I go to chinese bakeries.

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

my favorite bun is char siu bao. steam or roasted, stuffing or with out stuffing.

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

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.

I've had Japanese. red bean mochi balls but never fried with sesame seeds! sounds awesome! wish there was a Chinese bakery on Maui!

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 love roast pork bun, red bean paste sesame ball, scallion bun. I get them at a bakery in London Chinatown.

coconut cream buns are my favorite ❤❤

So you think it tastes taroble?

Coconut buns - MY PASSION!!😍😍💜💜💜

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.

“This is just breakfast." damn feast

My childhood xD just saved the hotdog till the end and ate the bun. Idk why

I have tried almost all of these buns you mentioned and LOVE THEM ALL. TYSM FOR THIS VIDEO.

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!

I LOVE THE SESAME BALL BUN!!!

I'm sitting here contemplating those delicious buns and wondering why I'm still eating my cereal ... Thanks for another awesome video !

All of these buns look pretty great. I will definitely have to try them out. Thanks for sharing!

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.

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

omg that sesame ball is my absolute favorite!

Love your videos..thank you. Brings back lots of wonderful memories of China.

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

How long were u in a sugar coma after eating all that good stuff

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.

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.

Roast pork buns are the best

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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~~~~

We have the same items in our Korean and Japanese bakeries. Do you have a curry bun? Or a potato salad bun?

yum!!! I wanna try them!!! idk if I would like them all but I would try them! I made pretzel buns with bbq baby back ribs inside and they were amazing!

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.

8:30 "I feel like taro has an identity crisis..." ... Everything you ate in this video has an identity crisis

Omg you missed the corn and ham bun, its so good!

The sweetness of the bread and the saltiness of the hotdog go so well together

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.

You are lucky to have good metabolism. If I ate all that I'd look like Zhu Bajie

I LOVE TARO TARO BUN TARO MILK TEA TARO BOBA I LOVE ITTTTTT

This was really useful to me, i can't wait to try some of these, i know it wasn't easy so thanks for making this video!!

totally lost it when you were talking about taro! i completely agree.. hahah what even is taro ??? just came across your channel today and i'm totally hooked. looking forward to watching more of your videos! :-)

He eat for us people!!! xD Keep claim and feel full.

Bun pineapple apple bun :D

I'm Asian and I grew up with all these buns. Hotdog, Pork Floss, Curry Potatoes, Char Siew, etc. I love them all!

I love the way you talk about food!! And all the faces you make! More videos like these!!

You have such a healthy appetite....marry me😂😂😂

I been looking for a buffet buddy lol

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.

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.

HOW are you so damn fit when you eat all this stuff?! xD EDIT: You guys are great, the replies where funny lol!

There is no Chinese bakery in my town. My life is sad now.

Awesome vid! The sesame seed bun segment had me dying (I caught that last bit lol)! And yes!!! I agree. The eggy flavor if the Asian egg tart doesn't sit well with me either. I love the custardyness of any egg based custard tart (ie: the Portuguese tart) as long as it balanced.

The hot dog in a bun are kolaches or sausage rolls. We get them in the US @ bakeries that usually sell donuts. That one had quite a bit of bread & instead of hot dogs, they’re usually smoked sausages.

reminds me of home in Malaysia....the texture and savory .....sigh :(

THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have all these in like every other bakery in Singapore! Grew up eating all these yummy buns for breakfast and tea time!

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.

American bakeries are way too sweet for me.

The mochi balls are actually supposed to be airy on the inside and not dense

Love all of it. We have almost everything you just showed in our bakeries here in malaysia.

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! :)

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

You eat all that ? That easily 4000 cal or more. And just for breakfast?

Pineapple bun is amazing. Love it!

This food looks soooo good. Everything looks solo yummy. What is the best place to eat the pork buns in NYC? I'm going in June!!

Me at a Chinese bakery: Me: *buys every item*

Portuguese here

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!

all my fave in one video!

Excuse me while I drive 45 minutes to my nearest Chinatown...

I love men who loves food and eat a lot :D

Very informative and love your enthusiasm......Char Siu Bau from the New Town bakery in Vancouver, BC rule!!!....their coconut buns and egg tarts are excellent too....

I absolutely love the sesame ball with mung bean. Its my favorite thing

Why delicious tasty food is baaaad for you?!

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!)

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 :)

Sesame/red bean mochi ball FTW!!!! Especially when there right out of the fryer! Chicken curry bun rox the blox!

So basic General Tso's chicken gets an authenticity frown from a takeout menu, but the hot dog UFO is ok?

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!

I just found your channel! LOVE LOVE LOVE! you should consider coming to Miami and scouting some good places to eat here!!

The Coconut cream bun is my all time favorite, it's so delicious

Never would've picked that tuna bun myself, but now I've gotta try it!

Thanks for using Chinese words to describe the foods.😊 I learn a new Chinese word or two everytime I watch your videos. ❤Keep it up. Love your pons!🌷

There are few more that I had wasn't introduce here and two of my favorites are Cocktail Buns with creamy coconut filling and Ham/Egg Buns.

I love you! LoL My local Asian store has a lot of buns, I usually get a custard filled bun, it's a half moon shape and fluffy and filled with custard! Sooo delicious!!

i love them all 😩

That was brutal. I'd be in a coma from eating all of that. Great work! Thanks for taking the tummy ache for your viewers. ^_^

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!

Thanks for your bravery and sacrifice. Well done. I will try them all when i get to a bakery.

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.
