Saint Honore Bun Shop, Chinatown Sydney

WHY are there so many different delicious buns in the world?
That is a question no one can answer
All we can do is try and eat them all

Saint Honore is a chinese bun shop in the city that has most of the classics and then some

Dan tarts (or egg tarts)
Notice that these have shortcrust pastry which is not my style but may be yours

Sesame balls with red bean paste

A thin pancake wrap with sweet cream and sponge inside

From memory, fillings on offer include strawberry, mango, banana and chestnut I THINK and the fruit ones are made with fresh fruit mmm so for about $2.50 these are totally worth trying

Mochis are round fat balls of glutinous rice with dessicated coconut sprinkled on the outside and usually sweet filling on the inside - from left to right are taro, green tea, mango, peanut and mooore to the right haha there should be red bean somewhere

Taro and green tea are pretty heavy - one or two mochis at a time is usually pretty satisfying btw! and the peanut mochi was surprisingly not a peanut buttery style paste but rather a loose filling of crushed peanuts, sugar and more coconut!

When they are good, coconut cocktail buns are a number 1 option from any bun shop
Sweet, coconutty, fluffy with sesame seeds

and 90c each :)

If the sesame seeds are browned and toasty and the balls look large and sturdy, snap them up quickly onto your tray! and you will be rewarded with a fragrant ferrero-rocher crunchy exterior and hopefully a soft sweet red bean interior like these ones had, mmmmmmm
