Rainbow Bakery - Calgary

Don't let the humble interior fool you: Rainbow Bakery is definitely one of Calgary's better Chinese bakeries. They always have a wide variety of desserts, which are all very, very affordably priced. I decided to try egg tarts 蛋挞, 3 for $2.00), wife cakes 老婆餅, 3 for $2.00) and a cocktail bun 雞尾包, $1.40 each). The pastry on the egg tarts wasn't quite as flaky as what I'm used to, but the filling had a really nice flavour and really, egg tarts that have been sitting in a bakery will never be as good as those that are fresh at dim sum). The wife cakes were really, really nice: very sweet with little morsels of candied winter melon and coconut all encased in flaky puff pastry. The cocktail bun, however, was definitely the highlight and one of the better ones I've had in a while): the coconut filling was generous and absolutely delicious, and there was a perfect ratio of filling-to-bun. I'll definitely be back!

Rainbow Bakery Calgary is hands down one of my favourite Chinese bakery in Chinatown. It's located inside Dragon City Mall in Chinatown, and they’re usually open the whole week except Mondays). The store itself is quite messy, unkempt and probably not as clean as other bakeries. Their pastries are tasty and its pretty cheap. My favourite here are their wife cakes $2/3 pieces), which are chewy and sweet, perfect with tea. However, beware: CASH ONLY!

Came here after picking up some bubble tea from Pearl House directly across. I was craving a baked good and notice they had egg tarts. Ordered 3 and the owner pointed to a sign that said '20% off orders after 5pm '. It was 530pm so it came to $1/egg tart! Yay! We got our egg tart from the owner...

Best asian bakery. It reminds me of the asian bakeries in Vancouver. The ones in Vancouver is cheaper, but this one is still good. Only a couple cents or a dollar more expensive in this one though.The tuna bun and the bbq bun are amazing.

And super awesome service for being in China town! I went in and they had not made red bean ball's yet and the gentle man there went right to the back and made them fresh for me on the spot! That was awesome of them and one of the reasons I am a big fan!
