In response to Tina C. — the name most likely is a reference to the Feeding of the 5000 miracle in the Bible, where Jesus fed 5000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Just google«5 loaves and 2 fish» and the Wikipedia link is the third one :) Anyway, the name was what caught my attention as well. And when I saw that they had bubble tea I just had to go in! The price is pretty good at $ 2.25 a cup. I ordered a bubble milk green tea, but I think my flawed Chinese confused the guy, who ended up giving me just a regular bubble milk tea(I think). Regardless, the tea wasn’t bad!

This bakery name seemingly sound odd as perhaps its originated from a classic Chinese folklore, but to my surprise its origin is from the Bible. A reference to the Feeding of the 5000 miracle in the Bible, where Jesus fed 5000 people with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Perhaps the owners are very religious? One Caa1 Siu1 Baau1 叉燒包, one ham with egg sandwich with a bottle of vitamin water hits the spot for a very late breakfast prior to Mandarin and Cantonese classes. There are several breakfast and lunch specials at less than half of Midtown’s typical restaurant price range.
