Scout Magazine

For this edition of 'From The Collection', we asked the Acting Curator of the Museum of Vancouver, Jillian Povarchook, to share a museum piece that really spoke to her.

The iconic (奇華大餅家) Keefer Chinese Bakery's neon sign is situated at the entrance of the upcoming exhibition, A Seat at the Table: Chinese Immigration and BC - which opens publicly on November 19, 2020.⁠
⁠
Donald Lee-Young opened the bakery in 1975 and in 1993 relocated it to 251 East Georgia Street. Keefer Bakery helped introduce Hong Kong–style pastries to Vancouver. Baking in this style incorporates elements of European pastry techniques adapted by Chinese chefs in colonial settlements such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Macau, and Saigon. The famous egg tart is an example of this innovative hybrid baking tradition.
