For dine in, you get seated and order and will be served tea. Prices are ever so slightly higher but not enough to really notice. Takeout, you order at the front and off you go. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of steamed bbq pork buns so imagine my absolute adoration when we got a huge steamed bbq pork bun here. It's the size of my face. Fluffy bun and savory bbq pork without the red food coloring, what more could you want? Mango pudding was also a nice touch. Refreshing and not too sweet so it's a great dessert to finish off whatever meal you were having or just as a standalone snack. While New Town Bakery isn't exactly new, it's a tried and true spot for delicious buns and baos!

It is small and quaint with some of the smaller combined tables having plastic dividers separating the diners. I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

We have picked up some from the bakery counter too.

However, we made our way back later in the day, and the wait time was a modest 15 minutes. Was it worth the wait? Heck yes.

The shui mai, har gow, and char siu bao were all much larger than I expected, so my friends and I played it safe and still ended up with way too much food. Not a bad problem to have, but definitely come hungry. The service was also better than what I've experienced at a lot of dim sum places, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable.

You'll want to make a reservation WEEKS in advance and hope for the best! Our group ordered so many delicious items, and some standouts were: Shrimp Har Gao: These were crisp and tasty, with a skin that was the appropriate thickness - and of course had enough slip to it. Yum! Pork Shu Mai: These ingredients were tip top! I'm not a fan of pork, but I enjoyed this one... whatever they marinated it in was amazing. Stuffed Eggplant: Tasty, too! I love eggplant, especially the stuffed ones. The sauce paired very well and was simply satisfying. Mushroom Noodles: This was honestly a hot mess and hot miss. It tasted very bland like airplane food... highly recommend not ordering this! Cheung Fun - The rice noodle was crisp and very satisfying. Whether an oil stick or protein, highly recommend this one. What's nice is eating here was very relaxing late in the afternoon. The overall ambiance is spacious and quiet enough for conversation. Either we got lucky missing out on the liveliness, or all the aunties with tea left before we arrived. Overall, I could see myself coming back for the dim sum... but have a little more reservation (no pun intended) when trying their lunch items.
