    This is a pretty legit place for Chinese snacks and breakfast items. We ordered ma qiu (Chinese fried sesame dough balls). They are huge and taste 100% legit. The downside is case only. $5 for two.

    I only got the bow tie there because this seems to be the only place that sells this old traditional treat. The service is quick and you have to order at the door and can't enter the shop. The bow tie is more on the thicker side when it's suppose to be the same wrapper as wonton skins. It's also coated with syrup. Simple yet, nostalgic and ease my craving.

    I've really been slacking with my Dim Sum reviews. I've eaten at like 13 of them in China town more than once and reviewed like 2. I'm sorry. Taking pictures is hard for me. I'm too excited to eat. Eastern Bakery is really old school and cash only. It only has so many selections in the window so it can be hard for a novice like me to know what to order. One thing they do have in the window is this Bow Tie speciality. It is magnificent. Just imagine like a wonton but coated and glazed in sugar. A dessert wonton?! Like you're talking dirty to me! The BBQ pork bun was filled with as much pork as any pork bun in China town. I mean it was noticeably stout and served piping hot. Also, had this chicken bun which was absolutely horrible. I mean not the target market for that or maybe it really just needs to disappear into oblivion. This was overpriced for dim sum in China town but there are some gems here. (4.1 Stars)
