Boko sells a European-style bread roll called "Brötchen" (it's German for "roll" -- literally "little bread"). This thing is so buttery and yummy that it would be a crime to eat it with anything else. It's kind of a cross between a croissant and a giant Kaiser roll. ;-)

That said, it's been a few years since I had one.. I hope they still sell it.

You don't need to have rice with the Chinese dishes when you are at Brother Wu. This is the golden bread roll (i.e., deep fried roll). We ordered two plates of golden bread rolls and we dipped the bread in the sauce from the dishes. Yum! Try it!

P.S. Their menu has gold and silver bread roll. Gold refers to deep-fry and silver refers to steamed bread roll. We like it deep-fried! When you go to a Chinese restaurant that is specialized in dumplings, xiao long bao or Shanghainese noodles, don't forget to order their gold bread rolls.

These Farmer Rolls are the epitome of fresh, white roll deliciousness. They also have Dinner Rolls, which have a smoother (and less appealing to me) shape. At $3.25 per dozen, the price is appealing too!

The texture is really airy fairy, but also with that delicious moistness that makes for excellent bread. It would be very easy to dispatch 3 or 4 of them at one sitting. :-)

Also seen: whole wheat rolls, Kaisers, and some elongated ones (hot dog, sub? not sure).
