I've been coming here for about 8 years even though it's probably been around for much longer. You can't tell given that the sign says "Grand Opening 3 for $1" and it's been there as long as I have been patronizing this place. It's called Chinese Bakery and it's run by the same gruff Vietnamese girls that have been serving me for all 8 years. It used to be one of the few who made the milk egg tarts (as opposed to the traditional yellow ones) so it kept me coming back. It's a money printing operation cos they're always busy (though I've noticed they haven't been as busy as in the past... perhaps the competition is finally getting to them??). Well, in Chinatown, it really doesn't matter cos if they close, another one pops up and it's like they've made their money so they don't care.
Service rating is crappy... like a 1-2 star as they treat you worse than just a number and they've even ripped me off cos they can't add so make sure you know how much you've bought. Their prices have climbed over the years and it seems like the size of the pastries have gotten smaller. The only reason I'm still coming here is because it's the closest one to the east where I live and I need to pass through the war zone to get to the others. In the winter, I'd rather not but if the weather is not too hot or cold, I'm willing to venture to a few of the other places to get my pastries. Overall, the quality is a 4 star for their buns, butterfly cookies, cakes and pastries but the sizes are smaller now, prices gone up and service is not so good so it's a 3 star and dropping. Keep your calculator handy and your eyes open for new bakeries.
