Alpha Bakery

Haven't been inside Hong Kong City mall forever.  I used to at least go eat near the area, but traffic there can get hectic, so avoided it for a while.  Happen to run an errand nearby, so decided to stop in.

Came across Alpha Bakery, lots of people lining up, and curiosity got the best of me.

You walk in and there are rows and rows of prepared food neatly stacked and ready to go.  There are spring rolls, fried tofu... 

and desserts.

I got the Bahn Beo, steamed fan cake.  Nice that they list all the info on the sticker.

What's in the pack: a small container of fish sauce (which they did put some pepper in there), the little bag on the upper right is fried onion.  Then they use rice flour to make these little mini disks which the texture is more like a thicker rice noodle.  The texture has to be a tad thicker to hold the toppings.  The orange stuff are fried shrimp crumbs, there are mung beans and green onions.  

So I like to spread the topping evenly across.  Then drizzle the fried onions, then pour on the fish sauce all around.  So every bite, you get a bit of everything.  It's actually pretty filling, so one will do the trick for me.  

Besides that, the shop is known of its Bahn Mi - as a matter of fact, when we walked up to the cashier, first thing they ask is how many you want, meaning how many sandwiches.  Since we stocked up on other food, we didn't get anything but that is definitely the thing to get here.  They also have palmier, macarons and other cookies for sale as well.  Definitely support this mom and pop shop.
