| - I have lived in and frequented Chinatown for several years, and I have to say that Ding Dong is the best combination of quality and price as far as Chinese bakeries in the area go.
They have the best deals on buns and sweets, the products always taste fresh and they have bonus items I have not seen at all other bakeries such as delicious spring rolls and AMAZING steamed soup buns, which come in both vegetarian and meat versions.
The girls working there are always very pleasant, and the store appears clean and modern, with tables at the front, which is definitely a one-up on a few of the more 'classic' bakeries.
Out of the products I have tried, I can particularly recommend the following items from Ding Dong:
- spring rolls (veg)
- steamed soup buns (meat and veg)
- small and large savoury buns (bbq pork, curry beef, ham and cheese, hot dog fillings)
- sweet buns (coconut cream filled)
- sweet rice balls (taro, red bean)
- sesame balls
- walnut layer cake
- paper cup sponge cake
- egg tarts
I have had much better experiences going to the bakery early in the day, but I have always managed to buy way more than I could eat in 2 sittings, and I don't think I have ever spent more than $10 at a time.
