Charlie's Bakery: Steamed Bun Snacks


I am a person that gets hungry and frequently desires savory snack food. I often found myself going to MacDonalds and getting a sandwich for $1.50. However, MacDonalds food can get rather boring over and over again.

Thank the graces of fortune that I discovered "Charlie's Bakery and Chinese Restaurant." This place sells steamed buns almost identical to the ones in the picture, except Charlie's buns are a little large.

Price $1.99.

It's 50 cents more for Charlie's Bun than for a MacDouble Sandwich, but I love buying local as long as it's a similar price and the quality is better.


The dough is soft and almost wet (as it has been steamed). A thick layer of dough tops encloses around the rich hearty meat filling. Charlie's Steamed Buns are available with either chicken or pork. I choose Chicken. The way the steamed bun is cooked each bite releases the flavor into your mouth. First you taste the dampened soft dough, and then, you get all the Asiatic flavors unleashing their magic.

It's worth the extra $0.50 more than a MacDonald's sandwich, and it's the same size as a MacDonald's sandwich.

WIFI? No.
But this is for quick snack food.

If you'd ever want to visit Charlie's Bakery and Chinese Restaurant, it's available at 2729 C Street and on Bus Lines 2 and 75.
