Ok that is a little dramatic, but seriously, these things are amazing. A light flaky bun with just the slightest sweetness filled with a thick and creamy custard. It is heavenly but it is a giant carb and fat bomb! That is why I consider this one of my guilty pleasures, something to enjoy once every few months with a nice strong cup of coffee.
What is your guilty pleasure food?
Guilty pleasure food would be pizza. I love pizza! Piled with lots of greasy pepperoni and cheese, that's what I call heavenly :)
ReplyDeleteI love the custard buns, too,but my favorite guilty pleasure is a truly well-made scone. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good bakery to me! I ate my way through many an Italian bakery in Chicago. The custard buns are fabulous! My guilty pleasure is ice cream.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love moon cakes - the red bean or taro buns. Delicious. My guilty pleasure is cheap delivery Mexican food... I get it at least once a week! Nothing like a big ole' burrito at my door in under 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your header and I'm wondering where that is...
ReplyDeleteHey Pam, my header photo is Amsterdam, where I will be heading back to in November for vacation. I am obviously getting excited :)
DeleteHow much do you pay for that coffee? I'm wondering if I could get it for you for cheaper?
ReplyDeleteI got the coffee for $4.99 for the tin at the Asian market, strange place to find it :)
DeleteI don't think I can get it cheaper then that. :)
DeleteBeautiful new header! I love European pastries too but I also like less sweet Asian bread/pastries - especially savory ones too. :) Custard ones are my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad was also diabetic, but rarely gave a thought about what he ate - he just gave himself more insulin!
ReplyDeleteAbout once a week, he'd come home from Dunkin Donuts with a bag of apple fritters - light fluffy donut, with a glaze and bits of apple in between - my mouth is watering as I write this!
Oh my oh my, I'm going to have to see if I can find something like that here. One of my favorite thing is a cheese danish and this sounds like a very cool version of that. The Asian market I usually frequent I don't believe have pastries but maybe I just never saw them b/c I wasn't looking. They sound so good.
ReplyDeleteMy guilty pleasure food is chocolate eclairs. The ones I love come in packs of four and while it is my intention to only eat one per day, I usually devour the whole pack in less than two days. Therefore, I only buy them once a year or so.
I was thinking a lot regarding this topic, so thanks for bringing it up here. You certainly have a good writing style i like, so will be subscribing to your blog.spiritual food

Ooooh I LOVE custard buns! Luckily there is not a place convenient enough to go and buy them often.
ReplyDeleteMy guilty pleasure? Pasta, pasta, and more pasta.
