OOJ: Mean Bao bakery, ABQ

clockwise, from top left: homemade pineapple cake, custard swirl bread,
green tea sweet milk roll, mango/coconut sweet milk roll, egg custard tart
(dan tat), char siu bao, sesame chicken bao

while abq has many charms, good asian food is not one of them. so when i heard a taiwanese bakery (Mean Bao) had opened on central ave, i ran to see it for myself as soon as the weekend came and bought myself one of almost everything (i passed on the whoopie pie- no, that's not a traditional taiwanese pastry). and while i might be able to find better baos in L.A., these treats were more than adequate to satisfy my taipei nostalgia.
