Chinese bakeries in big cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and across the world in Chinatowns, serve traditional Chinese goods (such as mooncakes, sun cakes, and wife cakes) and western-styled goods with a Chinese influence (such as cocktail buns and egg tarts). Tea, coffee and other drinks may some times be served too.There are generally two types of Chinese bakeries: Hong Kong styled bakeries and Taiwan styled bakeries. The baked goods in these two types of bakeries differ although they may sell some of the same goods. For instance, the Bread Cake was developed in Taiwan styled bakeries while the cocktail bun is a Hong Kong styled bakery product. Another type is Malaysian Chinese style bakeries which can be found in Malaysian cities with large Chinese populations, such as Penang, Ipoh and Malacca and offer certain innovations that cannot be found in China itself.
