| - Definition of hidden gem! Tucked behind an indoor food court, sorta dumpy, inexpensive, & specialises in something specific, re: Chinese sweet buns, egg tarts, roll cakes, etc.
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this place is really small, re: 1.5 of a Chinese person-wide. Do NOT expect a seating area to enjoy your goods. It's a buy 'n enjoy at home type of place.
Baked goods were pretty cheap at $1.40/3 items or $0.55ea, something like that. Yes, buns are smaller than standard T&T size, but I actually preferred this. Something else that I noticed, that I did preferred, was that the buns/cakes weren't too sweet, just a hint of sweetness which was a nice change.
All of the items I got were piping hot out of the oven, including the egg tarts which was a real treat! Egg tarts stand out and they do not look or taste like Play Doh food, egg filling is creamy and pastry was flaky.
I also got a Green Tea layer cake with red bean and cake was light 'n fluffy, lotsa whole red beans in filling, but cake wasn't very green tea-ish. Still good as it was topped off with fresh whipped cream as opposed to some icing junk.
Excellent place for a nostalgic Chinese treat!
***Tip: Buy 6 items to avoid the tax.***
