  • I learned the hard way that not even Chinatown is awake before 9am on a Sunday morning. My mission was to find fresh egg tarts, and it was a difficult task at this hour! I ended up having enough time to comparison shop all the Chinese bakeries (if they were open) along a stretch of Dundas (between Spadina and Beverley) and a stretch of Spadina (between Baldwin and Dundas). It turns out the first stop, Chinese Bakery, had the best prices of all the shops open at this hour. Unfortunately, their egg tarts wouldn't be ready for another hour, so instead I got barbecue pork buns, curry buns and sesame balls, all priced at 2 for $1! The competition was priced anywhere from 70 cents to $1 each and their pastries weren't as big as those at Chinese Bakery. I also got several glutinous rice balls (my favourite) at 3 for $1. The competition was selling these for 60 or 70 cents each! I buckled under the pressure at the counter and got a couple of bags of their day-old stuff (a whole bag for $1.50) and was impressed to find these products tasted just as fresh as the new stuff! I tried (at least) one of everything and loved them all. Tip: warm your buns or sesame balls a little before consuming. They taste they like they just came out of the oven! I recommend buying anything you want quickly as your favourites may sell out fast. On my first visit when I was just window shopping, they had loads of bbq pork buns. When I returned, however, they were down to only 2. The only problem with Chinese Bakery is that it's difficult to communicate with the staff. I used my Cantonese with the lady at the counter, but she could only respond to me in Mandarin - which, unfortunately, I don't understand. I'm sure you won't get too far if you ask for directions to the "Chinese Bakery" in Chinatown. If it helps, in Chinese, Chinese Bakery's sign translates to "Big Dragon Phoenix Bakery". Otherwise, just look for the big yellow sign (see picture).
