Their Original Bagel goes for just $2.50 a pop, so you can dabao them back and make your own bagel sandwiches. Else, they also offer other renditions such as Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bagel ($3.20), Matcha Red Bean Mochi Bagel ($3.80), and Sesame Bagel ($2.80).

Shio pan has been gaining popularity lately, thanks to bakeries such as Butter Town and Gokuku Bakery offering these Japanese salted butter rolls. You’ll also find them here at Pawa Bakery, priced at $2.30 apiece. These simple yet tasty buns are said to be soft and buttery with a slightly chewy dough.
