Tai Pan Bakery Within Wing Yip Centre

Tai Pan Bakery is not that bad
Breads are good and the price is ok
thanx

For something a little unusual to your usual doughnuts and cream cakes that you find in a English bakery try the Tai Pan Bakery located at the Wing Yip Centre on the Purley Way, Croydon. They offer a vast range of traditional Chinese cakes from fantastic flakey pastry egg tart to the coconut filled cake and more. The char siu bun can be as filling as a sandwich and is fantastic hot which they can heat up for you for an additional cost. You have the option to take the cakes away or eat them in a tiny coffee shop ambience. It does get very busy and crowded there but is also wonderful if you want to stop for a cup of tea before travelling home after the shopping in the Chinese supermarket. They also have a selection of birthday cakes which are very creamy and taste very different to the English cream cakes. The sponge is very light and I have yet to taste a cake which is as light as this from an English bakery.
