People: RB and myself
Feelings: Two words: Pumpkin Bao. I am sold! Despite its oddly dirty sounding name, this Chinese bakery located right in front of Saigon Bakery has amazing steamed buns. At a low price of $.75, you can bite into this fluffy pumpkin bao heaven. It is not overly sweet, and the pumpkin filling inside is very creamy. They are not generous on the filling here, but I am one of those strange eaters who enjoys the bread more than filling, so I am completely satisfied. I would have bought the pumpkin bao without the filling! It was that good.
They offer various steamed bun selections as well as a dim sum menu, but on Sunday afternoon, they were of course completely out of all the dim sum items. They do have a counter with some stools here, but it is more of a takeout joint. It would be fun to pick up some turnip cakes and rice noodle rolls on Sunday morning and have a little dim sum party at a park when the weather gets warmer.
I am already dreaming of the pumpkin bao. RB conveniently works near the bakery, so perhaps he might pick me up the six pack of baos. ($3.75, if you are reading this, RB.)

They also sell 3 mini buns for $1.25. Perhaps for you since you've got a 'bun in the oven' too :P So you know that you'll have a son?! Congrats!!! Have you thought of a name yet? :)
