The last bread run of 2022 - and I am so grateful that Gokuku has an outlet in the east because the buns here haven’t failed.
Today I enjoyed a light fresh matcha and white chocolate bun, a denser chewy brown sugar bun and a butter sugar bun with raisins and walnuts. An after thought: Gokuku is great at making classic pairing work don’t they? Matcha and white chocolate, butter and sugar taken up a notch with raisin and walnuts.
Pro tip 1: if you can’t differentiate the flour variants the bakery use, just spot the description chewy if you’d like a dense chewy bun versus regular fresh fluffy buns, both are equally good and depends on the mood of the day.
Pro tip 2: bring your own bag to save the earth and get a 10cent discount 🙃
