In my opinion, Lucullus is the best Chinese bakery in town! Their BBQ Pork bunsare my favourite! Ample amounts of BBQ pork in delicious sweet and sticky sauce are nestled inside a soft and deliciously sweet egg bread. Few places more BBQ pork into their buns AND few get it this tasty! The buns aren't cheap ($1.20/piece, I believe), but well worth the price in my opinion. They do so much volume on their buns, you can usually get them warm out of the oven.
They also have a great chocolate-strawberry meringue cake! After reading all the other yelp reviews, I will need to go grab an egg tart too! -

Lucullus Bakery not only has Chinese pastries and Western cakes but it has a good lunch specials too!!
For $4.16 you will get a decent lunch/with a drink. The choices are pretty good. But they are all pre steamed so you can get your food in 3 minutes after you order! Talk about speedy services!
The minced meat I ordered was quite ok. Reminded me of something that my mother used to make.. (yes she is not a really good cook and she always overcooks my meals)
The HK style tea are all premade in a warmer... I have to give it a -0.5 star because it is really strong and bitter and she did not put in enough cornation milk. Usually I prefer places that don't make them all in the morning... imagine how their tea will taste like in the evening.
The reason that I am giving Lucullus Bakery a 4 star is because of the Durian pastry ($1.50)! Yes it is so good!! The outer shell is so flaky and light and the filling oh yum yum. Yes it is real Durian inside... (yes I am a durian fanatic even my dog loves the smell!)
I will definitely be back for the lunch specials and then finished it off with the durian pastry and I will be so happy!

Unlike the previous reviews, I'm not going to rank the Egg Tart in terms of quality for this CITY because I just don't eat that many to know which one is better than which however I am going to rank it based on my personal taste and enjoyment.
As I walked up the the only plastic display that is FOGGED up, I opened it to reveal some still warm Egg Tarts($1.00). They're not just any Egg Tarts but Omega 3 Egg Tarts. I must be getting old as I'm simply old school thinking that Egg Tart is an Egg Tart no matter which Chicken hatched the Egg.
When I was eating Egg Tart as a KID, I never inspected the Egg that went into the Egg Tart. I guess I have to be open minded to changes such as Swallow's Nest versions and whatever adaptations that comes for the future generation. All I want is my Egg Tart to be Flaky and Custardy.
When I used the plastic TONGS to pickup the Egg Tart, it held its shape quite well even when using a bit of strength. When I bit into it, that was what surprised me most is that the Custard was actually SOFTER and more runny than most others while when I picked it up with tongs, it didn't compact and squish in the middle while the flaky pastry wasn't that hard at all but just right.
Lucullus also has a fridge with PRE-MADE Chinese Dessert-Style Drinks ready to be picked up to go at your convenience. 4 varieties to choose from and was pretty tempting except that I was on a mission for something else later this evening. Next time, next time...Listed in: Desserts - Western, T

This place has the best egg tarts and pineapple buns in the city. They also have lunch specials with rice and a drink for cheap eats!
One of my favourite spots. -

I also agree that this bakery makes some of the best Chinese egg tarts in the city. The custard is perfect - perfectly sweetened, perfect firmness, nice flaky pastry shell. They make them fresh throughout the day and if you are lucky you might catch them as a batch comes out of the oven!
