An extremely popular bakery in Chinatown, minutes away from Leicester Square tube station. Compared to other bakeries, items are competitively priced. Both sweet and savoury items and a variety that cannot be compared with. Items disappear from the shelves quickly and staff struggle to keep up with filling the shelves. Weekends are perpetually crowded which shows the popularity of the place. My personal favourites are the Coconut bun, peanutbutter bun and the chicken bun. Once you have tasted the bakery treats, you will surely come back.
Love this bakery. Every time we arrive to London, I come here especially for the pastries. The fluffy cake. Delicious! Custard cake is my new favorite.
Large bakery, wide selection of freshly baked goods and always very busy. The pandan sponge cake was soft and fluffy, but flavour-wise a bit shy. The handmade milk tea (less sugar) also wasn’t really our cup of tea — literally. Prices are fair. But the real star? The „Deli-Taiyaki“ with custard, freshly made by the exit: warm, tasty, not too sweet. We’d happily come back just for that!
This bakery sells fresh Chinese bakery products. They taste delicious. It is very small inside. On the left of the shop, you walk in and take a tray and a set of tongs, then you walk around and take your items from the shelves and pop it on your tray. Then you walk into the next room, queue up and pay. You can also get freshly cooked fish moulded bakery custard bites, and ice cream in the summer.
Me and my sister got the fish cookie/biscuit each - omg absolutely YUMMY!! I got the one with Nutella filling and my sister got the custard. We also got the little fish biscuits with the custard/cream filling which was really delicious too
