There ain’t a whole lot of English to be found at OK Bakery & Snack, which opened recently on South between Sixth and Seventh streets. But here’s what we could surmise, before we were politely and smilingly shooed out of the door by a funny little lady for taking too many photos:
- It’s a tiny space with all the trappings of a Chinatown bakery.
- On one side of the store, there are a dozen or more display cases featuring all manner of buns, including ham and egg, fish meat, bacon and cheese, peanut, onion and this one amazing quadruple-compartmentalized one with hot dogs stuffed in the holes.
- These buns cost A DOLLAR.
- The main display case is full up with generous wedges of round sponge cake, a million different swirls and flavors.
- These cake slices cost 80 CENTS.
- They’re also doing bubble tea, hot drinks and a small selection of dim sum (shrimp dumplings, roast pork bun, crab shao mai, S&P shrimp, etc.).
- They’re open Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 8 to 11, Saturday from 9 to 11 and Sunday from 9 to 10.
Yumumummm. I love hot dogs in baked goods–I will always choose that if it is an option. And it’s open late at night? Amazing.
Agree. I AM eating that hot dog bun this weekend.
I hope they go real authentic and do the ambiguously delicious “Pork Floss Bun” as well…and maybe some steamed bread, mmm…
