I think what I'm looking for in/near Bergen County NJ is what it's called. I love hot "roasted pork buns" and I hate having to go to the "chinese market" in edison for it. I got some today at the market in river edge but they were "packaged" I was looking for some fresh or perhaps a local chinese bakery? Has anyone found any good places to either order it (like take out/delivery) or to buy it like in a supermarket (or chinese bakery?) Thank you all in advance for your help, I used to go to a great Bakery on Mott St but when I drove through this summer I didn't see the bakery around. Maybe I missed it? It was near the church for many years I think it was called Luong Fong Bakery (or Hong Fat? I forget) or something like that... Thanks again.

Check the thread for DIm Sum Palace in RIdgewood. I think 2 people have already said they were they have the best bao they ever had! I was planning a trip there just to pick some up.

I called the Dim Sum Dynasty to see if they were running any holiday specials they are going to have a "prix fixe" menu for Thanksgiving. (Reservations highly recommended) I reserved a table for 2 (I hate cooking - LOL!) in case hubby wants to try that for a change of venue! Thanks, I'll ask them if I can pick up a few sandwiches for "lunch" during the week.

I order them from a local Chinese Take Out place -- East Garden, here in West Orange.

I've seen two different types through the years... a steamed version...which I've had at those buffet places and purchased in packages of 12 from the Chinese supermarket in Edison or Green Brook area. East Garden's are like the kind sold in the bakery section of Captain Fresh Supermarket.. a dough almost like a sweet roll... larger than the steamed buns. Almost shaped like a potato roll, with a golden brown color. The East Garden take out menu lists them for 1.35 each.

I'd check local Chinese take out places near you. The buns are usually listed under appetizers.

You can get them in the Chinese supermarket (King Fung) on Kinderkamack Road in River Edge. I beleive Jollibee in Bergenfield also carries them.

Where in West Orange is East Garden? Not all that familiar, but may hunt it down for those buns.

KamMan also sells the steamed doughy version, lots of dough a little filling, in thier bakery section. They have a number of different kinds too, my daughter likes the hot dog bun.

Okay don't laugh but my favorite hot dog bun is the "potato" roll/long bun. GOD it tastes great. Also, yes I got them from the chinese market in river edge however they're not "fresh" but they told me on the weekend (sunday) they have them fresh so I'll have to run on over and check... thanks everyone!
