Zhao Mah Bakery - Saint Ives Australia

Hidden gem, hall in a wall bakery, I've been here twice and I'll be back again. Most buns are $1.80 and huge! I tried pizza bun, garlic cheese, bbq pork, coconut pineapple, egg tarts and everything was fresh and delicious. Have to come back to try noodles. Good, friendly service and cash only.

These buns are hands down the best buns we have ever had. And 6 fresh buns for $4.50/5 are so good : the garlic and chive buns are our favorites. They are out of this world! So soft, fresh and delicious! Dedicated customers and we will be back time and time again. Staff are kind and nice to interact with!

Prices were really good and the food tastes amazing.

They sell my fav tapioca dumplings (pork and veggie filling) 4$ for 4 pieces.Will need to come back next time in the mornings to try the rice noodles!! I live in downtown and there isn’t a lot of Chinese food like this in the area. I’m used to eating Chinese food on Victoria street and like Richmond food. So I’m glad they have this bake shop here that serves Chinese staples food like the dumplings and steamed rice noodles.

I was told that this place had was the best Lao Po Bing. After traveling around to and from Canada and the US, I finally arrived in Vancouver BC. We drove Chinatown to look for this place and slowly drove by it twice. We were just about to give up and then I barely spotted the place. Their signs and awning were worn so badly that I couldn't read anything. Place is very small near the east corner of the block. Now mind you, I am comparing this to the Lao Po Bing that I had in Montreal at Delicieux. See my review. Since then, I been searching for one similar Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and any other places that people have told me. So far it has been disappointing. Well, after I got back to our apartment, we cut into the Bing and I was excited to try it. The Bing was slightly smaller but much bigger than those in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The crust is softer and and thin and not flaky. The filling is also generous and slightly sweet. But missing the winter melon crunch. I believe some people will like this version but I would have to say that for my taste, this Lao Po Bing is close but not as good as the one in Montreal. I hope others that get the chance can do the same comparison and let me know how they feel. As with all taste, it is subjective. But I like the soft crunch of winter melon.
