Hong Kong Bakery

Hong Kong bakery is my absolute favourite place to stop to get all sorts of dessert goodies! This location has a good amount of selection, similar to the downtown location, but the staff here is much friendlier. There are buns and ice cream and cakes –oh my! The buns are the best thing here, hands down. My personal favourite are the Pineapple Custard Buns. They are to die for! There’s a yummy crumble on top and creamy custard inside… Mmm…
On top of the delicious factor, this place is dirt cheap! I think it’s like 3 buns for $ 1.50, or something around that range. I always stock up on a ton of buns and it only comes to about $ 5! I highly recommend you stop here and grab some yummy treats! It is cash only though, so make sure to bring some money. (There is an ATM in store, but ick ATM fees).

After a disappointing round of dim sum, we needed something to satisfy our sweet tooth and make up for a lost meal opportunity. Just next door sits the homely Hong Kong Bakery, hidden in a corner of a strip mall along busy Gateway Boulevard.
The place isn’t enormous but there’s a great selection of eats here. Pork buns, sesame buns, basically any kind of Chinese bun you could be craving. There was also a good selection of different sweets like packages of almond cookies for a good price.
I was in dessert mode so I picked up a strawberry mousse cake. It was one of those round little pink cakes painted to look like an animal (in this case, a mouse — I think). It’s a pink sugary base and pink mousse shell filled with soft pink strawberry cake. The mousse shell is my favourite part. Thick, the perfect amount of sugar, and a solid crunch to it. The best!
I can’t wait to come back and try the chocolate mousse cake next time!
Unilocalers, take note: Bring your wallet because it’s cash only! There’s no ATM here, only an ATM in the massage parlour next door. Don’t get caught only with your debit card ;-)

Similar range of sweet and savoury Cantonese pastries, buns and cakes to one on the 97^th Street.
In case you don’t know what this means, there are flaky pastry, steamed buns, soft eggy dough buns, and a few other kinds. Most are filled with yummy things like lotus seed, red/​green beans, custard, barbecued pork, beef curry, and a lot more. Also some really light sponge cakes and swiss rolls, with cream and fruit fillings.
Everything there seems really fresh, and all very tasty– nothing really strange for people used to Western food so I could see most people enjoying a lot of the products they sell. I give them a full 5 stars because as well as the food being tasty the prices are incredible, some buns are as cheap as 50 cents or so!
