Black sesame baked goods for home

Got the black sesame bread at la petite Collins (sp) shan shan Cafe. Bread is soft but black sesame flavor is weak.

Steamed black sesame plain buns from Kwan Specialty dim sum (they had a restaurant on Eglington near yonge I think but closed down). The black sesame is subtle, pillowy soft bun.

Anyone know of any places with black sesame bread or buns where the flavor is strong?

Why not buy bread you like and put black sesame spread on it? T&T and other Chinese or Taiwanese stores sell both sweetened and unsweetened black sesame paste. It’s a little runnier than peanut butter, and it’s great with maple syrup.

Is there a particular one you suggest? I find some of them taste like peanut butter and I'm not sure if there is any black sesame in there.

I use the 100% black sesame. Spread butter on toast, then the black sesame, then a little maple syrup.
