Lin’s Chinese Bun

If you just want to eat and don’t care too much about décor this place delivers. Food for two people came out to about $ 15 for 5 buns, soup, and chicken. I get the sour cabbage and pork buns, always tastes good. They don’t speak english here and they close before 10PM I think so it isn’t good for late night eating.

Knowing my love for vegetarian buns, my mom told me that i would find this place satisfactory. She was right, it satiated me. but it did not wow me… well the chinese name of the place did, as it’s a pun that also means «forest of buns» teehee.
They have daily specials for various types of buns, but my only interest was the egg and leek bun. We got a pack of 6, my mom paid for it, and we left. The leek bun did not have rice noodle inside, and they probably could have used more stuffing. The bun itself was well made and the flavour of the stuff was wonderful. It would have been a four star if they didnt cheap out on the stuffing. Maybe I’ll come back and try again, but i might just go to TnT and eat their vegetarian buns instead.

Driving into the plaza around 4:30pm or so, I felt snack craving or maybe the Night Market @Metro was warping my brain. Lots of selection but as for SMALL portion snackin’, I looked at Lin’s Chinese Bun knowing that it should be affordable snackin’.
I walked in to this 5 – 6 table mini-​shop to see 2 tables of patrons but to my surprise they were eating anything but Chinese BUN. They were having what looks to be Northern Chinese appetizer items (Soy/​Chili Marinated Meats) as I walked up to the counter/​cashier where they had a whole tray of Braised/​Stewed Pork Hocks.
I stood beside the beverage fridge and asked for 3 BEEF Buns, then I realize MANDARIN only when she spoke back. At least I can read the menu so I tried again and ordered the Pork & Napa Cabbage Bun (Ju Ro Bai Cai) instead. I will learn the Mandarin Menus by end of this Summer!
Most Buns were $ 0.89 each and she charged me $ 2.65 as I took it to-​go and ate as I went. One bite and it was JUICY and well flavoured with lots of Napa Cabbage bits for that crunch. The Bun dough itself was not soggy at all from the interior juice. They were just slightly smaller than my palm and it came out from the kitchen in just under a minute. 3.5 *Stars* I like the Cabbage!
