| - My mom introduced me to this place after she received a bakery card from our good family friend's wedding.... tucked in a little plaza on 14th ave and kennedy road, it is usually very inconvenient for her to stop into the plaza on her way home from work.. however, she tells me the buns are awesome and they even serve meals like a HK style cafe... so I said that she had to show me why it was soo good.
The buns are at a Markham premium of 90 cents/ bun.. unlike the stiff competition who are selling at a markdown of 50 cents (at Gloucestors, and I was quite surprised because it is quite a premium bakery). There is a little sit down area, and in addition to the buns, and cakes that are sold, there are also hot meals. You can get rice with toppings like pork chops for $3.99. NO joke. 3.99, it will fill you up for lunch, and perhaps can even count for a dinner meal. There is also the option of a HK style breakfast - drink, noodles, and bread.. for yes.... $3.99. That is crazy!
I ate the bun in the seating area, and shared a piping hot cup of HK style tea - so strong, so rich, so good. The bun was pretty good - not overly doughy, but had great taste... deservingly 3.5*
How I wish there was such good HK style cafes in the heart of Van...
