In the process of finding the BEST Chinese bakery in Richmond, BC – we first had to find ALL (as much as possible) the Chinese bakeries in Richmond, BC. This is then followed by a short-list of those worth trying, and finally choosing the five BEST Chinese bakeries after trying it in person.
However, as mentioned – we first had to try to find and sort ALL the Chinese bakeries in Richmond (unlike user-supported voting system where consumers vote for their favourite bakeries and hence initiative is required… or algorimatic sites who basically populate content without any in-person, local experience for ad revenue – at VancityAsks.com, we try to find and share the Best of Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, with a local’s perspective to help locals rediscover their amazing city and visitors to experience the best that Vancouver and its adjacent municiplies have to offer – that requires both first hand and second hand experiences.) this is no easy task and many Chinese bakeries do not bother with advertising or technology for that matter (do note as well that it’s common to have cash-only policy with Chinese F&B).
For this reason, you may not find all the good Chinese bakeries worth trying with a simple search online – so also for this reason, we’re listing all the Chinese bakeries in Richmond that we’ve found along with a brief description in this section… probably one of the most comprehensive directory of Chinese bakeries in Richmond you will find – since as mentioned, some of these Chinese bakeries may be owned by older Chinese (who not only need to overcome the technologial barrier to promote themselves online, but also possibly a language barrier – in other words, they may not be as familiar with technology, especially so if there is a language barrier to learning or some just being very resistant to new technology).
While the vast majority of these Chinese bakeries are worth trying, note that we’ve not tried all of them (we’ve only tried the shortlisted, and a few of these where not enough second hand accounts from other consumers were available online) before compiling the best Chinese bakeries in Richmond, BC.
