Portuguese Egg Tart
Randy F.

Maxim's Bakery is ubiquitous in Hong Kong and it's nice to see an outpost of the familiar chain in Richmond. It's a small store front and almost easy to miss as you are perusing the mall, but they serve the standard pastries and baked goods Maxim's is known for. We stopped by to try the Portuguese egg tart and while it was delicious, it was very tiny. The other pastry roll we got was too sweet which is very unlike the items usually from this Asian bakery. Maxim's accepts credit cards, including Amex.

Ahhh.. Maxim's bakery!! I used to work at the clothing store just across from maxim's back in highschool for 1.5 years!! I still remember that co-workers and I always take turns to go maxim's to get our lunch/snacks/dinner/breakfast lol!! cheap and convenient :-) I remember one of my co-workers kept telling me to get the biggest pieces for croissant since their croissant sizes are unequally distributed for some reason!! I used to get pineapple Danish, tuna Danish, and some coconut buns yum yum!! Since I was away from the town for a while, I kinda forget how those buns tasted like at maxim's!! So I ditched Kam Do, which I really like their baked goods just for today to try maxim's bread again. I got the sausage corn and cheese bun :-) It was just as good as I remembered! But too bad, over the years I tasted so many buns from different bakeries.. Cannot give 5 stars but still, it's on the "better" side of Chinese bakeries :-)

I love bakeries with their lovely aromas. And Maxim's doesn't disappoint. Maxim's is a good place to get a quick snack when you're running low from all that shopping. Their baked goods are quite fresh, with the bakery replenishing goods occasionally. You'll find all the traditional Asian bakery treats from egg tarts to wiener buns to pork-filled buns. I love pineapple buns - sweet crust topping on a soft bun. They make cakes for all occasions as well: I suggest the Mango cake - fresh mangoes and fluffy, sponge cake. There's usually a small line-up whenever I go, but the cashiers are quick and accurate. Note: If you buy 6 baked goods or more, there's no tax.

More delicious than I expected. Soft fluffy breads, lots of coconut stuffing in the coconut buns. Service is ok.

Last December, I was lucky enough to win a prize package from Kam Do Bakery from a contest they…read moreheld on social media. I received with a box of assorted pastries, a box of wife cakes, and $30 in gift cards. This is my honest review of my visit and I wasn't required to post a review. When I came into the store, the staff were confused about what I was trying to pick up at first, but it was quickly resolved when the manager came to the front counter and I explained to her that I was one of the contest winners. The queue was short because not many customers was inside at the time so I was in and out pretty quickly. The store area was spacious and there were quite a lot of pastries on display. The pastries i received were beautifully boxed. They could definitely be presented as gifts to loved ones or work colleagues. The box was gold and red, with a golden foiled design on the lid and a gold string ribbon to keep the lid closed. The pastries themselves were gorgeous. Just looking at them made my mouth water. They were soft and crumbly to the touch. The buns of the pastry were buttery and the outer layer was very flaky with every bite. Some of the pastry buns had sesame seeds sprinkled on the top. They were all baked perfectly. The inside fillings were quite sweet but no overly sweet. There was no indication on the box on what kind of pastries they were so im not totally sure what kind of pastries i received. Some had a sweet tasting filling with an egg yolk or a century egg center, just red bean paste, or just some other type of sweet filling. I shared the pastries with my family over afternoon green tea and they were a hit! My family loved them. The wife cakes I received were very soft, tasted delicious, and sweet but not as sweet as the assorted pastries. They were filled with winter melon filling, i believe. They were also made a great pairing when they were served with tea. They were all individually wrapped with plastic wrap which helped keep them fresh. The boxed was also nicely designed with gold and red colors. My family really liked them. Overall, i think Kam Do bakery is one of the best Chinese bakeries in Richmond. Gotta give them 5 stars for their absolutely delicious pastries.

Car's Dessert - Durian Mochi x 2

Car's Dessert is a hidden gem for mochi lovers! This small takeout shop delivers big on quality and…read morecare. We tried the combo pack with Durian, Purple Yam, Chestnut, and Mango, and every bite was delightful. The mochi wrapping is impressively thin, with a pillowy texture that makes each piece melt in your mouth. While I usually gravitate toward durian, the Chestnut and Purple Yam stole the show. You can really taste the effort and pride in the chestnut puree--it's smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The staff are warm, friendly, and clearly proud of their craft, which adds to the charm of the experience. This is absolutely one of those places worth lining up for. If you're in the mood for artisanal mochi that's made with care, Car's Dessert should be at the top of your list.

finally made it to the new location of car's dessert and it's quite the upgrade from their old spot…read morein the food court at pacific plaza. they're now on number 3 road, just around from aberdeen and next to the canada line station, with a small but bright storefront that feels a lot more like a dedicated dessert shop. take out only though, so don't expect to sit down and linger. car's is known for hong kong style desserts, especially their mango cream mochi and baked sago pudding. they even picked up a critic's choice award in 2024 for the fresh mango and cream mochi. i grabbed the holiday combo, a box of four mango mochis for $14.95, which comes with a little sticker, best before: same day, as it's made fresh daily. individual mochis require a minimum purchase of two. inside each mochi are generous chunks of ripe mango and lightly sweetened cream, all wrapped in a smooth, soft, stretchy mochi skin. the texture is super tender and delicate, and the mango really carries the flavour, juicy, fragrant, and not overly sweet. deceptively easy to make with only a few ingredients, i've tried my hand at making mochis, and suffice to say, i will be leaving it to the professionals. a friend told me the name car's is actually short for carson, the owner's son, which makes the name feel a bit more personal. note: there's a 2.5% surcharge for credit cards and 4% for international credit or debit cards and where applicable, an additional 1.5% transaction fee, best to bring cash if you can. still one of the best spots around for mango mochi if you're in the richmond area.

Also compared it with a few other changfen/rice roll places in Richmond and we still loved this one the most, especially at this price point ($7.50 cad with egg added) The changfen isn't in very distinct strips because it hasn't had time to cool down and take shape, but I didn't mind. There's also a little table to sit at and the chili oil is SO GOOD OH MY GOD AND you MUST add an egg It's also super sweet how they're always really excited when we mention that we always stop by when we come up from Seattle :,) HARMONY BAKERY MY GOAT

I got the beef rice noodle roll and added egg for a $1 surcharge, total $7 CAD. What a bargain when other popular rice noodle rolls are approaching $10 CAD. They make each order fresh so it was steaming hot when I got my order. The soy sauce is prepackaged as this is primarily a takeout spot with just 5 seats in a small table (communal). However, we were able to find a spot and enjoyed the dish in the store. The rice noodle roll was really solid - they're not mushy like other places and they are easy to take apart. The soy sauce complements well with the dish and the beef is quite flavorful. I'd definitely come back here if I am craving rice noodle rolls. The only challenge is parking as half of the already tiny parking lot is reserved for staff and you'll be fighting for parking even at off lunch hours around 2pm.
