| - I've frequented the bakery part of Richmond Court for years now, having never visited the restaurant this review is just for the bakery portion (obviously).
The cakes are made in the typical Chinese method, in that they use light whipping cream and not the rich sugar cream, like the friends at Ruelo or Chocolada. It makes a great change from the norm every now and then. The pre-made cakes come in a variety of flavours like Mango Mousse, Fruit, Chocolate Mousse, and Black Forest.
The also have an assortment of pastries like egg tarts, really sweet rice cakes, custard buns, red bean cake, black bean, etc. Their turnover is pretty frequent so you don't need to worry about the softness of the bread.
There is nothing innovative about their line and in terms of presentation, it's a bit lacking; I've been to much better Chinese Bakeries, but Richmond Court is a pretty stable supplier if you live in the area or happen to be passing by. The hours are great and there is rarely a lineup.
