Egg Pastry Frenzy Returns: Bu Er Fang Mid-Autumn Phone Pre-orders Begin August 13, Key Details to Note

The highly anticipated "egg yolk pastry chaos" is set to return as Taiwanese bakery Bu Er Fang announces its mid-autumn festival pre-order schedule. Starting August 13, customers can attempt to secure their orders via phone, with specific hours set from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. However, the bakery will not accept orders on August 17.

Bu Er Fang, a renowned pastry shop in Changhua City, is famous for the intense demand for its egg yolk pastries, especially during the mid-autumn festival. Even before the official pre-order period, long queues have been observed, indicating the fervor surrounding these treats. The bakery has outlined three key points for mid-autumn pre-orders: no changes to dates or quantities after confirmation, no delivery service (pickup only), and a warning that if the phone line directly goes to voicemail within a week of opening, it signifies that all orders are filled.

The mid-autumn pre-order date will start from August 13, accepting phone orders daily from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Historically, the phone lines for Bu Er Fang's pre-orders are overwhelmed immediately, often filled with bulk orders. This means that the order window can close much sooner than a week. Those who miss out on phone orders may have a chance to purchase pastries during on-site sales, typically announced a few days before the festival. The bakery's popularity has turned its pastries into a must-have gift, with many people already strategizing to call as if they were trying to secure concert tickets, hoping for the chance to snag these highly sought-after treats.

If the phone directly transfers to voicemail within a week of opening, it means mid-autumn orders are full and will no longer be accepted.
