If you like your manapua baked (golden brown bun) rather than steamed (big white bun), you need to visit Royal Kitchen in Chinatown. Whether you choose the traditional char siu, the more adventurous black sugar, or the tasty chicken-vegetable, you'll find a very generous filling-to-bun ratio.
Parking is available in the small lot behind the store and is fully validated with your purchase. It's best to phone in your order ahead of time, as the counter gets fairly chaotic during their peak periods.
