????? Hai Tang Bakery & Cafe

Huge portion sizes. There are lots of rice noodles in the bowl. Broth was not that flavorful. Meat was tender. Not much satay flavor. But the price is very inexpensive, so what should be a 3 stars is a 4 star.

A small bakery and cafe in the Hollywood Square plaza. The black and green sign outside shows you where the bakery/cafe is. Inside there's a small seating area for the customers who stay there to eat their meals. On the right side of the cafe is where the bakery items are being sold. The bakery sells Chinese buns, cookies and cakes. In the afternoon, there is obviously less bun choices available. The cafe sells Chinese dishes. At around 4:30 pm, it is rather busy inside the bakery/cafe. They only accept cash, no credit or debit cards. They don't have the machine for you to use to pay for your food. The majority of the clientele is that of the older generation (the grandpas and grandmas, and a few adults with small children). I chose the Pork Floss and Seaweed with Quail Egg bun. It costed me $2.31 (with tax added). The rest of the buns prices ranges from $1.80 to $2.90. The bun that I bought and ate tasted interesting. Salty and sweet... For some reason ithe bun tasted like it had bonito flakes on it. And the strange surprise was that there was a quail egg in the middle of the bun... Just sitting and hiding there ominously. The sign name was slightly different from what I got. The sign said it was something about minced pork floss, seaweed, taro, something something. Are the buns worth it for their price? No, not really. The flavor was good, but for that price of $2.31... it's on the expensive side of the cost of singular buns. I suppose I would go to the cafe side and order something off their cafe menu just to try the food they had to offer. The bakery cafe is one of the other restaurant locations in the Hollywood Square plaza, besides the Cafe Hollywood restaurant.

Small cafe but full of customers. Love the milk tea!! Will definitely try the backery next time
