On my way through the Outer Richmond one day, I was drawn into the Lung Fung Bakery (新龍鳳餅家) by the atmosphere inside — the sounds of the murmuring old men and the slapping of their chess pieces.
A popular neighborhood location?
They’re making ‘em in the back!
While I was looking over the menu, the lady behind the counter suggested I try their BBQ Pork Bun (叉燒包)*. The old man standing next to me near the counter chimed in as well: Yes, get the BBQ Pork Bun it’s very good.
Sidenote: The BBQ Pork Buns at these street-side bakeries are different from the type you typically get in dim sum restaurants (or dim sum takeout shops). The former, pictured below, have a tanned and bread exterior, while the former have a more textured and white exterior.
So I ordered the BBQ Pork Bun, and a deliciously artificially-flavored VITA mango juice to go with it.
BBQ Pork Bun = 80 cents (drink not included).
The bun was fresh and tasty, though not stellar. The short snack was a great respite for a weary passerby.
