Soup and snacks

Chinese Traditional Buns is an adventure in deliciousness. Don't really know what you're ordering or eating half the time, but the tastes are extraordinary. Great care is taken into the preparation of each dish, as easily observed by the diners vantage point into the restaurant's open kitchen. Everything is also home-made. Noodles are hand-stretched and and hand cut, dumplings are prepared to order, multiple sauces are ladled into dishes as finishes, and the service makes you feel welcome and at home.
Warm soy milk and green tea get you all warmed up and ready for what comes...


Chinese Traditional Buns has the most amazing soup dumplings I've ever had. Explosions of flavour and juicy soup! These buns are pork and shrimp.


This is a pulled pork on mini pita-like bread sandwich. This is the one thing that I MUST have every time. Savory and mouthwatering.


This braised pork belly in pancake has a sweet sauce and is wrapped up with green onion and other unknown stuff (deconstruction of the meal was not a priority when savouring and eating was first concern). The texture of the pancake which had been slightly charred was like a chapati.


Condiments! Must have condiments! I love condiments. Chinese Traditional Buns has a great vinegar and hot sauce which I mix together and dip everything into!!! Mouahahaha!



Alright this dish is a show stopper. Again, these noodles are handmade, and hand-stretched. The dish is described as vegetarian, probably to indicate the existence of vegetables such as bok choy and tiny macerated mushrooms, however there is surely pork included as well. Wonderful, harmonious, pork. This dish sings, in all domains of texture, flavour, presentation. This dish has it all. I want more.


Ah! And for the grand finale, home-made noodle and mutton soup. Perfectly tender and tasty mutton and refreshing broth makes this soup oh so comforting. This would be stellar in the winter but still happy to eat in the summer since I'm a soup monster. Oh CTB, I love you.
