A Hong Kong-styled Bakery

The very first shop, Saint Germain (新之美), at Oakridge Centre was a bakery. It sold all kinds of bread that we often see in Hong Kong. It was amazing to see a queue of customers. They lined up in order to buy their favourite freshly-baked bread.

Such kind of queuing reflected two things :
[1] the bread or cakes of this bakery must be delicious,
[2] the salesladies are slow at work,
[3] the people at Vancouver learn the culture of queuing up.

We bought two meat buns. The one I had a bite contained a sausage. The taste was right and fresh, but the price was high, over 1 Canadian dollar, which meant it was about 10 Hong Kong dollars. To me, the feeling at the bite was good because it seemed that I had been back to Hong Kong.

At the time when we left the Centre, the queue became much longer. There might be s 15 or some 15 or over customers waiting for their turns.

Wow, we wish we were the bakery shop owners.
