About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that delivery driver always honk three times when he leaves?’ The cashier shrugged, smiling, but no one else seemed to notice. Finally, an old neighbor piped up, ‘He’s signaling “Mission accomplished”!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been focusing too much on the noise. From then on, every morning became a little more cheerful at Chiu Quon Bakery.

2. A few days ago, an elderly gentleman stopped by Chiu Quon Bakery just after dawn. As he approached the door, he noticed something peculiar: every morning around this time, a delivery truck would pull up, its driver meticulously adjusting something on the side of the van before giving a single, precise honk. The old man watched curiously until one day, when he finally worked up the courage to ask the driver what that mysterious honk meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, 'That’s my way of saying “good morning” to Mrs. Chan next door!' Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood greeting.

3. At dawn one day, a sleepy neighbor heard something strange—a soft, rhythmic tapping coming from the alley behind Chiu Quon Bakery. Curious, they crept closer only to see a tiny wooden box, its lid gently opening and closing like a tiny door. As the neighbor approached, the box suddenly sprang open, revealing dozens of adorable little dim sum buns waving their steamy tops in greeting. Startled, the neighbor backed away, but soon found themselves drawn back for another peek. Turns out, it was just an early-morning prank by a regular who loved teasing everyone with free treats—now a cherished part of the neighborhood’s morning routine.

4. At lunchtime one day, a customer exclaimed to her friend: ‘Did you notice how our dim sum arrives exactly when the clock strikes twelve?’ Her friend raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Coincidence? I think not!’ Just then, the door opened, and the delivery driver walked in—right on time for his shift to start at noon. The two women exchanged knowing smiles, realizing that Chiu Quon Bakery & Dim Sum had found their perfect employee.
