Big Buns

Don’t let the size fool you! Big Buns Hong Kong packs a flavor punch in a tiny shop in Wan Chai, offering a delightful and unique take on French toast.

French Toast Bites: A Labor of Love

While Big Buns boasts a menu of tempting sandwiches, I just can’t resist to try their French Toast Bites. These aren’t your average soggy slices of bread dipped in egg. Here, they elevate the classic Hong Kong afternoon tea dish to new heights. Imagine fluffy bread cubes, filled with peanut butter and Nutella, then dipped in egg and deep-fried to crispy perfection. A sprinkle of sugar and a quick kiss with a flame torch creates a caramelized exterior that’s as delightful to look at as it is to devour. The finishing touch? A drizzle of condensed milk. Each bite is a textural and flavor explosion, with the contrasting textures of soft interior and crisp shell complementing the rich sweetness of the fillings and toppings. It’s clear that Big Buns puts their heart and soul into crafting these little masterpieces.

Friendly Faces and Fair Prices

The owner’s passion extends beyond the food. He’s incredibly friendly and chatty, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in his small shop. While the price of the French Toast Bites might seem a touch high at first glance, considering the care and what you get, it’s a fair price for the amazing experience.

The Verdict: A Must-Try place in Wan Chai

Big Buns Hong Kong is a treasure for anyone seeking a unique and delightful sweet treat. The French Toast Bites are a must-try, offering an explosion of textures and flavors in every mouthful. The friendly service and charming atmosphere add to the overall experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone who also enjoys nice sandwich and a twist of the classic/HK style French Toast.
