Sydney notes: Emperor’s Puffs
Via Alison Cook news service is a link to a great listing of fried dough creations around the world. I’ve had about a dozen of the varieties on the list and a good number they have not listed yet.
Not on the list are the emperor puff’s, which I have only came across in Sydney so far. These things are cheap, addictive and quite excellent. The texture closely resembles a soft doughnut, but the flavor is that of a vanilla pudding snack. A blistering hot vanilla snack.

You can get a close approximation of your Emperor Puffs at Lee’s Sandwiches in Chinatown on Bellaire. Make sure to go on a weekday, though, when the little dude behind the counter is making them fresh. They’re called Deli Manjoo at Lee’s. They’re super hot but super delicious!
I have had those before, but they are a bit different. Good, but not quite the same.
have you had beard papa’s cream puffs? they are a japanese franchise and i’ve only seen them on the NE and west coasts in the US. they sold them across the street from my office in manhattan — 3 pm snack + coffee. so yummy!
No, first time I hear of them. Maybe I’ll run into some in Seattle this weekend.
Wow. I just got back from Sydney and did partake in these wonderful snacks. Funny thing is I also have a Bearded Papa’s Cream puff in San Fran a few months ago. Both are out of this world when it comes to custard style cream puffs.
