Chinatown in Sydney, Australia, is a great place to go to find some cheap and tasty food. It’s restaurants and food courts serve up some amazing Chinese and Asian cuisines, and the entire place is always alive with activity.
Located on Dixon Street (the main street in Chinatown), at the Paddy’s Market end is a bakery with a tiny window next to it. At this window there is usually a whole lot of people lined up outside, which is the only reason that I even noticed it. The reason? Emporer’s Puffs!
Lining up to get some Emperor’s Puffs
The sign outside the window said 30c each or four for $1, and with it obviously being so popular I had to investigate further. After a short wait in line I had in my hand a paper bag full of four of these warm little balls of dough. When I took a bite of my first Emperor’s Puff I was greeted by a warm, gooey, creamy filling on the inside that was just amazing with the tasty soft, fluffy dough on the outside. It was sweet and delicious and the other three disappeared almost instantly!

The warm creamy filling of the Emperor’s Puff – Delightful!
If you’re in Sydney you should definitely go and spend some time in Chinatown, and when you do, go and grab yourself some Emperor’s Puffs. They are heaven!
Mmm, we have something that looks a bit similar in Korea except that is filled with a sweet bean paste. These look yummy!

Hey Audrey. Those sound interesting. I’ll have to give it a try if I ever make it to Korea.
