Bread Top House : Philadelphia

I'm closing in on the end of my Chinatown Bakery Roundup. Unfortunately, Bread Top House was one of my least favorite of the bunch.

Dan ta - Nice texture to crust ratio, with a great crunch on the outside of the crust; however, the sweetness of the crust overwhelmed the taste of the custard. The crust is all that you taste.



Cha Shao - something sweet and artificial about cha shao that is very distracting. bun is so-so



Pineapple cake - Limp was the first word to come to mind, mainly because there was no crunch to the topping. Tastewise, this was somewhat sedated.



Sesame ball - an insult to all sesame balls. Dry, pasty, really not good at all, even warmed up.



Raisin Twist - like other sweeter versions of raisin twists



Here's the rest of the Chinatown Bakery Roundup.
