Asian Bakery Nam Dae Moon is celebrating its soft opening in Richmond, BC at 2132 – 3779 Sexsmith Rd on April 24, 2021.  This is the international chain’s first BC location, in addition to its three Canadian shops in Toronto. 

Nam Dae Moon is specializing in traditional steamed Korean rice cakes known as tteok.  The chain was founded by an ethnic Korean-Chinese in China based on his family’s recipes for healthy, chewy Korean rice cakes that are low in sugar. For freshness and quality, everything is steamed in-house throughout the day to ensure the texture is up to the top standards of traditional Korean rice cakes. 

“Since everything is hand-made and we can only produce a limited quantity every day for the best quality consistency ”, says founder-owner George Xu. 

The popular options include the classic Red Bean Glutinous Rice Cake made with sweet potato puree and red bean, the aromatic Sesame Glutinous Rice Cake with dark nutty sesame glory, as well the more exotic Osmanthus Rice Cake with subtle but refreshing floral sweetness on the nose and the palate.

Nam Dae Moon also specializes in premium daifuku, the mochi pastries filled with fresh fruits, also hand-made only in new batches everyday. Mango, Banana, Strawberry, and Durian are among the most popular choices, adding natural sweetness and tremendous flavours to the perfectly chewy snack.

The bakery also has exciting plans to incorporate local and seasonal ingredients to the line of their sweet treats.
