We went here for lamprais and it hit the spot. Lady that runs the place was extremely nice and…read moreaccommodated us with open arms. We got one regular lamprais and she made a veggie one specially for my partner that is vegan and tolerates less spice than myself (I've got a Sri Lankan trained tongue, so I always go extra spicy). The traditional lamprais had all of the parts, though maybe a few slight deviations from what you might have back in Sri Lanka. Overall the lamprias came together very well and tasted great. The Sambal Belacan was modified but very tasty and the eggplant was perhaps a tad sweet. That's part of the experience though, every place makes theirs a bit differently and it is for you to try out and discover the one you like best. Certainly give there's a try. Besides the lamprais, we got some buns, rolls, and other small eats which all tasted exactly how they should. Looking forward to visiting them again.

Heard about this hidden gem on CBC Metro Morning when Food Critic Suresh Doss described how this…read morerestaurant's Lamprais attract a devoted following. So I stopped by on a Thursday mid-afternoon to buy a vegetarian Kothu Roti ($5). It was rightly spiced (I asked for mild) and very flavourful. When I inquired about their Lamprais, I learned they are available on weekends and can be ordered as Classical (meat) or veggie version. I couldn't help but to try their veggie Samosas (4/$1) and the courteous lady asked if I would like samosa as well as patties(also 4/$1) and also gave me one extra as this was my first visit to their restaurant. Overall, I was impressed by their food and service. Will visit again.

The tray of pork floss buns hits the perfect sweet, salty, and fragrant balance. The fried chicken bun was a standout. Crispy juicy chicken with mayo inside a slightly sweet bakery bun is an unstoppable combo. The Garlic Hot Dog was pretty average since I couldn't taste any garlic at all. The curry bun could use more filling, but the pastry itself was flaky and flavorful. The cheese chicken bun was huge and super satisfying. We got it fresh so the outside was crisp and the cheese stayed gooey. We also grabbed their famous egg tarts. They kept selling out and the kitchen was scrambling to keep up, so we pre-ordered and came back thirty minutes later to pickup. Totally worth it. The crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is silky and creamy. In our opinion, these are the best egg tarts in the city.

Coconut bun which was soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. Egg tart was also really good. Crust is very buttery crust with a silky custard center.

The buns were all excellent. Prices are fair for the quality, and the staff is kind and welcoming. Definitely a new go-to spot when I'm craving pastries and buns!

I have seen an article about this place (introducing it as an award winning bakery) a few years…read moreago. It is a Hong Kong style bakery, offering a variety of buns (both savory and sweet) and tarts at affordable price. Stepping in, it was more like cafe offering variety of drinks than regular HK style bakery. Bright and clean. Looking closely at each product, the quality seemed to be better than other counterparts- each looked fluffier, less greasy, and a bit more sophisticated in presentation. I got - BLB (Bo Lo Bao): Crunchy cookie crust on soft bun. - Crispy cream: Crispy sweet topping on soft bao - Chestnut Bao - Sugar donut - Egg tart Buns are very pillowy. The taste was "milk forward", no detectable butter flavor, which makes their aftertaste light & healthy. I found that the texture is a bit drier than I preferred. We liked Chestnut Bao. Chestnut paste matched the milky sweet bun. Overall, affordable, a lot of options and comforting. Next time I want to try savory types of buns!!! Oh each buns are individually bagged and sealed. Which is great, but you want to open it before buns with sugar topping get soggy inside. ;)

Their egg tarts are excellent, along with their milk tea. However, I need to call out their frozen rice dishes. It's like a mini clay pot rice place, with chinese sausage and a salty egg.

Each location I've been to has plenty of parking, very clean and comfortable decor along with friendly staff. I would highly recommend this local bakery in the Markham area.

Some Chinese bakeries have switched over to using a thicker, chunkier custard filling, but this place uses a traditional custard filling.

The prices were also super reasonable. The thing I love about this place is that you can tell that it's family owned and reminds me of the bakeries my parents would take me to as a kid. It just had such a sense of comfort to it. I ended up getting the Angus beef burger, the custard pineapple bun, the cream cheese bun, 3 egg tarts, and a box of earl grey shortbread cookies. Like usual, if you get 6 and pay with cash, then there's no tax. Everything was absolutely delicious! The egg tart was warm and straight out of the oven when I got it, so it was soo creamy and not too sweet. The Angus burger was surprisingly good and tasted like how my mom would use to make them. The custard pineapple bun was also delicious with lots of filling and once again brought me back to my childhood. Don't even get me started on the shortbread cookies, sooooo buttery! I will literally go back to buy every single flavour of shortbread cookies that they have. Overall, a must visit bakery, and I will be coming back in the future whenever I need a bao fix.

Our family's haul consisted of some puffs, buns, and cookies. We were happy with our selection. Curry beef puffs were savoury, flaky, buttery buttered puff crisps filled with curry beef with tiny bits of carrot. BBQ pork buns had good proportions and sizeable chunks of BBQ pork stuffed into a giant sized bun. Hot dog bun was good too. Chicken hamburger was such a welcome snack sandwich made with a sesame seeded sweet bun, mayo and a pinch of lettuce on both sides. It's about the size of a McDonalds Junior Chicken Burger, but tastes sweeter. Assorted cookies I bought were the flaxseed shortbread, sesame crisp cookies and butterfly crisp cookies. Their attention to detail is not just in the craftsmanship of their baked goods. It's also in the way they treat customers and the details of their decorations inside.
