If you haven't tried Koko since it opened, you might want to give it another shot; they've had a few years now to hone their craft and I think they do it very well. Though I don't think I've seen any moochi balls, they do the meat pies and cream buns.

That was back around the time that Koko started up, and I remember going to Koko hoping to find some of the things Golden made and being dissappointed. <br /><br />Those mochi balls filled with honey roasted peanuts and toasted coconut... Tiny flaky pastry meat pies with savory chicken and pork fillings... cream buns... so very good I could cry.sproutsplushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955274492005773093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584510497639649594.post-8506615681745655202010-03-06T10:39:16.511-05:002010-03-06T10:39:16.511-05:00Thanks so much for posting this!

I know that I saw one of these bakeries in Shanghai when I visited there in 1999, but I had heard the term "Shanghai Bakery" before I went to China. It does seem like a Hong Kong kind of thing, though. And Koko does it very well!Nancy Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882024476105521785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584510497639649594.post-25187940184343886212009-08-02T22:24:25.403-04:002009-08-02T22:24:25.403-04:00Interesting to see your post. People in the Clevel...Interesting to see your post. People in the Cleveland area are lucky to have at least one of these bakery/cafes that have proliferated across Vncouver, Toronto, New York, SF, LA, etc. I'm not sure who told u this style is referred to as "Shanghai Bakery" but thats most definitely not the case. Theres no exact name for them but its well known that these types of baked good stores originated in Hong Kong. Being a cosmopolitan city under British rule this certain bakery culture developed and was brought along by Hong Kongers who left before the handover in 1997. The bubble tea however, is pure Taiwanese and as it became popular across Asia, many HK bakeries started to sell it as a novelty (or conversely, bubble tea shops in Taiwan selling HK pastries). I'm a Singaporean living in Ohio and over the years have travelled across many of North America's chinatowns =) Hope this sheds a bit of light on things. Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
