| - This place is as they say.... ...the best.
Nah, I can't write chinese at all, but man I can sure eat a lot of the food for sure.
1. Parking - Easy strip mall, but be careful as their are plenty of goofy drivers.....
2. Ambiance - Very clean, organized, tons of buns and cookies and pastries on display. All wrapped in cellophane nicely. With all prices easily displayed. Each item is described in the best possible way so if you are not familiar with the baked goods, you will get a good idea.
3. The Food - Great.
a. I tested the place out eating a winter melon cookie. These are my favorite all time and the cookie here is very flaky, nice texture, and melts in your mouth.
b. Purchased the Hot Dog Bun, the Red Bean Roll, the Green Onion Bun, the BBQ Pork Bun, the dried pork bun, coconut bun.
c. I haven't tried them all but boy do they look tasty. Besides the winter melon cookie, I did try the pork bun and this is why they loose one star. There was not too much pork in the bun. It tasted nice, but the bbq pork bun at Diamond has a lot more meat in it, at least 2-3 x more.
4. Prices - 1.25 - 1.75. Seems great. Huge Custard tart for 1.00.
5. Cakes and stuff - They sell some cakes and all, like Tiramisu cakes. They look great, but I did not try them.
This place, I would say, they are very, very good and if they put more ingredients in the pork bun would be unbeatable.
Oh yeah, big hint for those of you that are not of the asian persuasion, be careful coming here. A lot of chinese frequent this place and the tradition is to simply go for what you want and get to the front to pay. They do not pay attention to lines and etiquette so while you may consider this really negative, it is simply the way, so go with it rather than fight it....
GK says check it out.
