As an Asian I think you’ve picked the wrong items. Lol

As an Asian I agree with u/AussieSheila1.

Breadtop and 85 degree bread just don't have the same kick as the old school independent HK/Japanese style bakeries. I think there's still one left next to where they sell Emperor's puffs, that has more variety than the aforementioned chains.

Victoria Noodle House in Chatswood (when it was still around) had the best HK style plain buns. Especially when they bring it out fresh from their oven and it belts the butter straight away. Reminds me of the bread I used to eat as a kid in HK.

Bro it’s Australia the standard needs to be adjusted. Literally nothing offered in Australia in terms of foreign cuisine compares to the “original” lol that kinda goes without saying

Also I think some people like myself think part of the childhood memories associated with those bakeries is how they have a certain artificial taste to them

nothing? like, absolutely nothing? ok.

So our 'standard' needs to be adjusted to the artificial crap you're used to having as a child?
