Dong Dong Pastries

Two choices for egg tart: puff pastry or regular dough thats similar to apple pie crust. The puff pastry egg tarts are perfect! Custard is eggy not watered down like other bakeries, dough is flaky and light. Very fresh!
The tiny 3 for $ 1 char siu buns are yummy! I like the small ones better than the full sized buns

After grabbing some wonton noodles at JCK, I stumbled upon this place… without reading any reviews.
I’m alright with Chinese buns, both sweet/​savoury, and I do have my favourites. However, for the most part, I just try not to eat them that much ’cause they’re soo abundant and I get sick of them. Plus, they’re not conducive to staying trim!
Anyway, I was surprised about the prices. Has it been this long since I’ve actually purchased Chinese buns? Was I in some kinda time-​warp? As per my photo, Dan Tats (Chinese egg tarts) were $ 0.60/$ 0.70. That’s pretty cheap, considering the Portuguese version is like at least $ 1! Other buns were ~$ 0.70÷0.80 which is also quite good.
So far, I just tried the Coconut Tart and it was very good. Fresh, moist, and not dry and overly sweet like a lot of places!
The key though in the buns is that they’re eaten FRESH. So don’t be a hog and buy a bunch of them when you’re not gonna eat it right away!

We came here thanks to an article posted on the wall of Jim Chai Kee noodles after our wonton lunch. They carry both savoury and sweet Chinese pastries.
Grab a tray and some tongs by the door to self serve pastries from small trays. Put the pastries right on the trays — they will wrap them up for you at the register.
We tried the coconut tart (recommended in article at Jim Chai Kee), a coconut and cream bun and a box of small almond cookies. All for $ 3.50 and all tasty! My favourite was the coconut tart — it’s a coconut-​cake-​substance filled tart crust. The coconut cream bun was a sweet bread roll with coconut cream in the middle, the almond cookies were your standard Chinese almond cookies. All tasty and they really hit the spot after our noodle bowls. Great place to pop in after a meal for something a little more than a fortune cookie.

I come here once a year just for Chinese new year fried pastries. their fried sesame balls are the best!

Dong Dong is a chinese bakery, drowning in a sea of similar bakeries. Finding a chinese bakery in Markham/​Richmond Hill, is like finding a pair of shoes at Aldo. They are everywhere.
Dong Dong is located in an all asian plaza. What maks Dong Dong stick out from other bakeries are that they have pineapple buns (sweet dough buns with a crispy sweet topping which makes it look like a pineapple) all day, 3 for $ 1. Considering at other chinese bakeries they go for around $ 0.70 a pop, it’s a pretty sweet deal. When eaten fresh, they taste amazing.
Other than that, they have the usual other buns, coconut buns, ham & egg, cookies, cakes and other chinese dessert delights. The quality of their buns are in the middle of the pack. Pretty good, but not the top of the line.
