Description

Pineapple bun

Mee Sum Pastry operates in Pike Place Market's Triangle Building. The business serves buns and pastries, including pineapple buns and hom bow (filled with barbecue pork),[3] as well as shumai.[4]

Lonely Planet says, "This little storefront window is famed for its giant hum bao – eminently portable meat- or vegetable-filled steamed buns that make a great snack or small meal. The steamed pork bao is tops."[5]

Thrillist says, "With BBQ pork and supersize potstickers, Mee Sum Pastry is a tried and true institution in the market. It's a no frills, fast moving grab 'n go joint."[6]
