The shop itself is very neat and clean. All the bun and pastry in the shop are well packed, and the way they pack is hygienic. We had 4 buns from this bakery shop (don't remember the exact name, try my best to give them the right name!).
Pork floss bun They are generous with the pork floss with this bun, not only the surface has pork floss but also inside the bun. The saltines of the pork floss is perfect (to me). In the middle of the bun, after few bites, there's pork floss mixed with something I think it's mayo (?). It taste good with the mayo, but it becomes too rich after few bites.
Honey and pineapple bun, Mexican bun The reason why I put these 2 together is because they basically have same base of the bun, just the surfaces are different.
For Honey & pineapple bun, it's pretty average, not too bad, not too wow. For Mexican bun, the surface has combination of saltines & sweetness at same time, not sure what flavor it supposed to taste like, it's pretty average as well. I wish the flavor of these 2 buns can be more flavorful as they taste kinda similar, just different textures on the surfaces.
Custard bun This is my favourite one out of 4 buns we got. As you can see from one of the pictures I uploaded, the custard in the middle isn't that much, but the flavor is really good and tasty! I just wish they could put more custard in the middle!
Tips: I usually microwave my bun for about 20-30 secs with 80% power (if you don't like your bun cold, you can try it). I don't do it to all the buns, only some specific flavor (I didn't microwave the pork floss one as it has mayo).
Overall I like this bakery shop and would love to go back to try other items they have.
Down parts of the shop are they only accept cash, and you don't see expired date on the packed buns.
You probably can ask the staff about the expired day, just it's inconvenient when you have long queue behind you are waiting. Since covid pandemic, we are trying to avoid using(touching) cash, unfortunately like I mention above, this shop...
Read moreUnless you are chinese speaking I would strongly, strongly recommend you don't use this bakery for anything. They botched up my order and they gave me a lot of grief placing it because the person taking it could hardly speak english. As other people have mentioned, customer service is very poor. I ordered an expensive cake and made it very clear what I wanted, no fruit on the cake, but despite them confirming the details to me in writing, stating no fruit on the cake, they took no responsibility for providing the wrong order to me, which was for an important birthday party, thereby ruining the event. When I told them they should provide some kind of refund as it was their fault they refused, suggesting it was my fault because the cake was collected and not rejected at the store even though they clearly messed up the order and they would otherwise have left me with no cake at all. They even suggested my order was placed incorrectly, till I showed them it was confirmed by them in their own order confirmation, nice try to avoid the responsibility. They were very rude and contemptuous when I told them about my dissatisfaction. They insist in payment in advance in cash, no cards, so it is likely you will have no option but to accept whatever they give you on the day if it is an order for a special occasion and you pick it up on the day. I would definitely recommend therefore NOT to order from here if you are interested in getting what you ordered. The cakes are also not that nice, with very sweet artificial tasting cream and amateur looking decorations. The convoluted order process was great hassle and I could not understand them for...
Read moreThis is pretty much the only Chinese bakery left in Manchester after the other one in Faulkner street close down a few years ago (did it closed down during lockdown?). Overall their pastries are delicious. The only complained I got is the basket they used to store the baked goods are too small (half the size compared to supermarket basket)! I come from far away so I tend to buy it in bulk (example four or five of the meat buns and four of the custard buns etc). Can barely fit ten to twelves in two baskets. Also their coconut mochi is not quite how I liked them when compared to the other bakery but hey, it's better than nothing! The service are good as already mention, I buy them in bulked so of course the staff help me out putting them into a big bag of my at the till! Lastly I wish there was a more secure way to place my big bag down (grocery) when getting the goods. I left it near their table and while nothing bad has happened (eg a random strange run off with the dropped bag) but I am paranoid it could happened! Also I wished their website also shows the pastries they have selling. I get why they only shows the cakes as you can ordered those online. However it would be nice to see the pastries on offer beforehand before seeing...
