Tai Pan Bakery

Tai Pan Bakery is a bakery on Canal Street in New York's Chinatown that sells Hong Kong-style breads and Chinese desserts. Its egg tarts come in pastry crust, cookie crust, and Portuguese styles, and it also offers bolo bao, red bean buns, and mochi. Many customers stop in on their way from Canal Street to the subway, so a line often forms inside the shop. When it is crowded, ordering and paying are slow and confusing.
