Bidrage med feedbackEver give a gift and after discover that the gift is s* !? That 's the situation I find myself in as I write this! I am a huge fan girl of Chinese bakeries and all the pastries sold, so as I passed this one today I had to go inside and make a purchase. Then I remembered that my neighbor (and a great one at that, 'had a birthday coming up,on Monday I think ' followed by 'who doesn 't like yummy, soft and gooey pastries on their bday '! Well these weren 't yummy. I was surprised, I have never met a pastry I didn 't like;until today. It was awfully sterile looking for a bakery, no signs of anything ever been baked here, and none of the amazing smells that usually temp people inside. Also I was a little put off by all the pastries being wrapped up in crinkly wrap. But, it was very crowded, everyone had their trays loaded and that is a good indication that it will be tasty. So I bought a few to eat and a few for my neighbors birthday treat. The Napoleon was terrible, I usually live these; they are my very favorite, but this! The pastry leaves were cooked well and tasted buttery but the filling was not creamy and light. It actually tasted like an old sugar cube that had some coffee spilled on it so it was hard as a rock. It went in the trash. Maybe I misunderstood what a Napoleon was? Next I warmed up a pork bun; the pork inside was all pieces of fat. No meat, it reminded me of the pork in pork and beans cans. The sauce tasted rancid. The bun however was perfect. I also spent 7.50$ for a piece of durian crepe cake, again the crepe part was delish; but the creme tasted spoiled and the durian smelled and tasted overripe. You might get lucky if you get a roll or something plain, but just go somewhere it is fresh and yummy.
Tried the unique, subtly sweet tasting sesame coated yolk crisp bar. It was not really my type of item and so I'll definitely be back to try their pastries which looked rather ravishing.
Food is not fresh. I bought a sandwich and had diarrhea after eating it. I had diarrhea 6 times and my stomach hurt for a day.
Egg tart was really bad D: tasted like cheese. Didnt taste fresh
I always stop by this bakery whenever I make a trip through Clement Street. The prices are great and the quality of the food is top tier. Both their savory and sweet pastry options are comparable with what you can get in Chinatown or Irving Street. Definitely recommend trying their matcha green tea rolls!
