I stopped by to pick up a pair of cocktail buns for my boys and two dun tats for myself to compare…read morewith my experience of the He Made Portuguese egg tarts last week. The cocktail buns are consistently well filled with their coconut fillings and have a tender outer bun. My family really likes how soft and satisfying these buns are to eat. I tried my Portuguese egg tart first. The pastry shell is known as a thousand layer pastry with its delucate, very flaky texture and slighty savory flavour that balances the creaminess and sweet of the egg custard. I found the custard texture with its broiled surface to be as smooth and almost as creamy as the custard filled in The He Made Portuguese tart. Almost and very close. The other flaky egg tart was similar in taste and texture in both the pastry and custard but I think Kam Do bakery's version of their Portuguese egg tart is a really good second to He Made. The flaky egg tarts are also available in a cookie crust too. For $2.45 each at this bakery it is excellent value for the money when you can't get a piece in the best. The service at this bakery is very well organized to keep line ups moving. The interior is well lit with organized and labeled shelves of baked goods ready to take home. Self serve from these shelves. They also have a refrigerated section for prepared fruit filled cakes and Swiss rolls to go. Cash and cards. No American Express accepted though. Join the hungry crowds who recognize value, consistency and variety.

Online ordering and pickup was easy. The staff also waited for us to pick up the cake at 6pm. The site said that their cakes were not too sweet and it's absolutely true. Their cakes might be a good option for someone with diabetes. Unfortunately, I didn't expect that the buttercream lining the outside of the cake to not have any sugar at all. The cake was fresh - the sponge cake was soft and cream was fresh.

Great new Japanese-French pastry shop in Richmond, if you want little cakes and other pastries that…read moreare on the less sweet and less rich side of things. They have a fairly small selection and sell out of items over the course of the day, so they're not a great after dinner dessert place, and the prices are fairly high considering the small portion sizes, but if you don't mind the price and can hazard the parking here, it's worth a visit. The person who works here (the owner?) seems really into providing good service, but this place just opened and they're still getting things figured out, so there can be a bit of a wait even when you're only in line behind one or two people. Based on how much the owner seems to care about good service and good food, I'd expect to this to improve over time, but I'll have to check back here to see how the service is in a few months.

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.

Kam Do is a Vancouver staple and I swung by at 11:30 AM on a Saturday to a nearly empty store. The…read morebread was pretty much still all available and this location has a parking lot in the back as well as some seating available if you want to eat your goodies right away. Only tried a few options, but was genuinely impressed by the classics done well! FYI it is cash only in spite of being a chain with multiple locations Egg Tart: Just the manifestation of the quintessential egg tart. Super flaky crust and perfectly smooth egg custard. Pineapple Bun: I really wanted to get the Bo Lo Yo, but apparently, this location of Kam Do doesn't offer it, so I settled for a regular Pineapple Bun. Not doing this with butter is such a shame though because for a not super fresh pineapple bun, THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. Fluffy and not dry at all in the center. Thick cookie crust was the perfect level of sweet. If this was fresh, I think I would have died on the spot.

The line did move kinda slow and the parking lot is pretty small, so it could be a challenge on the weekends. Ended up getting two mango and two durian mochi. Both were delicious and stuffed with cream and perfectly ripe fruit. The durian is pretty strong though, so you gotta be a durian lover for sure. The mochi itself is where Car's really shined: soft, but still stretchy and chewy. Genuinely incredible texture.

We went…read moreto another Pine House Bakery but in Vancouver to look for the Chinese Cookies, also known as Phoenix Cookie or 鸡仔饼, but didn't have the taste I was looking for. I guess there might be different owners and chefs for each of these bakeries. There's different style and ways folks make the 鸡仔饼 but this specific location makes it super well vs others. The flavor is different, and I use this one to compare to others. They also have other pastries and goods like a pineapple bbq pork bun, pineapple custard bun, cakes, etc. This location is located inside Parker Place, and with lots of other small shops and restaurants. Lots of parking too.

*THIS REVIEW IS SOLEY FOR THEIR CHINESE COOKIES*…read more I only come here for one thing and one thing only: Chinese cookies. They reign supreme! I never had this type of cookie ever in my entire life. One of my sisters in law introduced it to me about maybe 13-14 years ago and we haven't stopped coming here ever since. It's a must try! I don't know what's in this magical cookie, but it's sweet and savory with hits of umami. It's definitely giving lap cheong essence and we're here for it. Yum!

The walnut bread was very dry. There was a small surprise though. I noticed several items are Taishan pastries packed in plastic boxes.
