There is a bakery I like on Clement Street around 7th; I don't know
the name but it's logo is a yellow dragon. The only Chinese pastry I
ever had before was a sesame ball, but they were out and the lady
suggested something else. I expected a fruit filling but it was some
sort of meat and mild chiles. I'd rather not know what kind of meat
was in it but it was delicious! They had just come out of the fryer
so they were nice and hot, but so filling I could only eat two of
them. The texture of the dough was good, and even though it was
saturated with oil it wasn't too greasy. And you can buy three of
them for only $1.50.

Would it be possible to let us know in what city / country Clement St &
7th resides? The pastry sounds delicious.

Cheers,

What a strange remark! It was either pork or beef, and it was most
likely pork.

The original poster was referring to a bakery on Clement Street around
7th Avenue (not 7th Street) in the Richmond District of San Francisco.

I think 7th and Clement is just slightly east of the Richmond district.

You might want to enquire if there are other fillings. There is a place
near where I live (in Rockville, MD) that has what seem to be similar
baked buns. The pastry is soft and very slightly sweet. I remember
bean, pork and chicken curry and there are others.......pretty good too!

Nope, it's very near the center of the Inner Richmond.

Years ago in England, the authorities rolled up a Chinese bakery/restaurant
when the garbage collectors noticed every collection day an inordinate
number of used, opened dog food cans. Hmmm.....

If a known or self-identified Republican posted such a thing,
he'd be set upon and denounced as a racist.

Republican status not necessary to qualify.

And enough of a hotbed of Asian food even I, who've never spent more
than 5 days total in SF, knew it was in SF. Also, the post was cross
posted to ba.food (as in Bay Area). Pardon us USians, in general, and us
Asian foodie Americans specifically.
