Packed with eye-popping flavor, it’s considered by Peruvians to be both aphrodisiac and hangover cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_129962\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns.jpg\" alt=\"Baked bao, kimchee sausage croissant, garam masala bun at East Wind Bakery in Sebastopol.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"716\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129962\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-160x112.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-800x559.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-768x537.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-1020x713.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-960x671.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-240x168.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-375x262.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/07/east-wind-bakery-buns-520x364.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Baked bao, kimchee sausage croissant, garam masala bun at East Wind Bakery in Sebastopol. \u003ccite>(Heather Irwin)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sweet and Savory Buns: East Wind Bakery\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n3851 Sebastopol Road, Santa Rosa\u003cbr>\n707-568-6081\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"eastwindbakery.com\">eastwindbakery.com\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastry worlds collide at East Wind Bakery, an off-the-beaten-path patisserie in west Santa Rosa, resulting in kimchee- and Chinese sausage-stuffed croissants, garam-masala-spiced sweet buns, Thai chicken pot pies and Japanese milk bread studded with Earl Grey tea.

Daring Ando to overcome that kind of distaste, he threw out a signature roll made with spicy tuna and salmon sitting on a pool of homemade ponzu sauce. I’m still not a spicy tuna fan, but the roll had me at homemade ponzu.
