This is a Chinese/Asian-style bakery located on 41st, right by the Joyce Skytrain Station. They have a large selection of steamed baos, buns, and various other baked goods. I had their BBQ Pork, Ube Bean, Chicken Deluxe, and Racy Yolky Bao. The baos were all fantastic: soft and fluffy, and stuffed with a generous amount of tasty filling. The prices are very fair. All in all, I highly recommend checking this place out.

BBQ Pork Bao ($2.75):
4/5
The bun was very fluffy and soft, with a great chewy texture. It was filled with a great amount of pork. The pork was tender and had a great bit of sweetness to it.

Ube Bean Bao ($2.05):
4/5
Again, there was a good amount of filling inside. The ube was creamy and sweet. It might be a bit on the sweeter side for some people, but I quite enjoyed it.

Chicken Deluxe Bao ($3.60):
4/5
This contained BBQ pork, salted egg yolk, and ham. Again, the bun was filled with a good amount of meat. The meat was flavourful, tender and juicy; there also seemed to be some water chestnuts inside that provided a bit of crunch.

Racy Yolky Bao ($2.90):
4.5/5
This was filled with custard and salted egg yolk. The custard was sweet and creamy, while the egg yolk was oily and provided a great saltiness to balance the sweetness. This is definitely a great twist on the regular custard version.

Summary:
Food: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Service: N/A
Overall: 4/5
Recommendations: Baos (favourite was racy yolky)

Bao goodness.

The baos here are packed full of flavour & meaty goodness. The classic BBQ pork bao had a sweet juicy filling. The bola bola is a meaty with pork & chicken plus the saltiness of the egg yolk.
Other menu options like the crispy fried shrimp dumpling that looks like a curry puff is crispy & filled full with well cooked shrimp. The siu mai lacks flavour & needs some sesame oil otherwise cooked well.
The Weiner buns come in 2 varieties- the cheese & original. Both gorgeously baked & presented.

My recommendation- the BBQ pork bao & fried shrimp dumpling.

• located near Joyce skytrain station just before the Filipino restaurants, next to the corner resto
- their sign is way up and you won’t be able to see it right away unless you are standing across the place
- free parking along the streets & side streets, read the sign so you won’t get towed away as I’ve seen this quite a bit
• first impression: unwelcoming, unfriendly service, not even a hi or hello from the staff. Most of them are impolite really and did not even thank me for my purchase. Service 1/5
• Asado siopao $2.25: pork with soy sauce, brown sugar & spices in a steam bun. The flavours are good, the amount of filling to the bun have good proportions. The bun itself is soft & got a perfect texture
• Lumpia shanghai (Pork spring rolls) 9pcs for $4.95: was not too bad, it just have this distinct Chinese spice flavour I can detect. I wished they made it 10/$4.95 :)
• Deep fried shrimp dumpling $ 1.95: a bit pricey for one piece, yet it was grounded shrimp inside the dumpling. Of course it was a bit oily, but was ok
• overall their siopaos (steamed buns) were good almost comparable to the one of the best in town (Newtown bakery), just don’t mind the attitude there
