KBC Bakery

Walk into KBC on any morning and you'll find a group of men reading their paper, shooting the shit and drinking copious amounts of 75-cent coffee as they enjoy pastries and rice noodles for breakfast. The staff may be a little gruff at times, but power through it as you order sub-$1 treats like egg custards, fried taro cake and custard buns. KBC has lo mai gai as well—sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf—which they dub "the Chinese tamale."
