Roast pork bun, with a much more savory filling than I expected. I had picked up a roast pork puff to try, but the lady pointed me to this warm, freshly baked bun instead. Very well filled relative to the bread quantity.

Continuing here for 2026.
Stopped by a few Flushing spots to pick up an assortment for dinner with friends.
Pancakes and dumplings from assorted Main St. fronts – the pancake stuffed with greens was particularly good, the dumplings delicious as usual.
.
First time trying poached chicken with Sichuan chilli oil (@vinouspleasure I did finally try it) – delectable, if a bit salty. Also pork belly braised with taro – a bit too rich for me, but flavorful. Braised chiu chow duck was not as good as usual. Char siu was lovely, and not just because I have missed it!
.
Excellent shiu mai from the takeout counter. Also very good black bean spare ribs with squash, not pictured.
.
Satay had an unusual abundance of treats, perhaps in anticipation of Lunar New Year?

Queens eating after a while, in weather that varied from sunny and chilly, to graying and a bit wet, to gray and SNOWING, and then back to wet.

- the caramel croissant tart was delicous, surprised they’re not selling it for $5–$7
- the first butter mochi was a little more savory than I expected, but the second and third were very perfect, perhaps an acquired taste.
- the photos don’t do justice to just how many people are working that kitchen, it looked like something from a sci-fi movie.
at least for now, this is my fav bakery in flushing, maybe nyc.
best,
