Bakery:
Pozzo Bakery (普諾麵包坊)Address: No. 172, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da’an District, Taipei
Style: Chinese
Price: $$$
Aiming to be a little more upscale than your typical neighbourhood bakery, Pozzo is fully stocked with as many types of bread, baked goods and cake as the space can handle, most with English labels. This gives the space a cluttered feel, especially when the organization is a bit hodgepodge - I so wish bakeries would relegate all savoury items to one area and not intersperse them among the sweet baked goods. They're also a bit more expensive, with some products seeming a little pricey for what you get.
Wanting to diversify and try something different for once, I'd seen this pastry-topped bun elsewhere but this was the first time it had an English label: milk cream flaky bun ($37). Okay, so I didn't really need the English label for that... This honestly looked a lot better from the outside, with this puff pastry spread out over the top. Underneath that puff pastry, it was a typical fluffy sweet bun with a pathetic amount of cream on the inside. The cream was thick and snotty and I wasn't really sure what it tasted like; actually, it was pretty gross, but come on! this was 90% white bread. The pastry on top wasn't flaky at all and chunked off in big sheets... yeah, it wasn't very good.
