3.5 stars coming from the oven!
Ding-Dong the witch had the pastries here and went to heaven! Plus she made a killing on the prices: 6 buns for 3 bucks. That's a bit on the crazy side of prices in this town. The buns that I bought at the end of the day were still deliciously fresh and mildly sweet just the way I like, perhaps a bit more eggy than I'd like. I really enjoyed the paper cakes and the taro bun. However, the empty display cases while indicative of sold out products looked sad.
I was also happy seeing that they have mango mousse cake which is surprisingly hard to find!
My friends thought that the lady serving us might have been tipsy, but hey it was TGIF!
p.s.I like the buns here more than the T&T ones that Loblaws has begun to carry. Fun fact: The Weston family owns T&T now!
p.p.s. I love that this bakery is called Ding Dong. I am sure it's got some really deep Confucian philosophical meaning but even it doesn't, the name injects a wonderful dose of quirk into Toronto.
p.p.p.s. When I open my bakery, I'll call it Thank You, Come Again! just cuz I can!
