Tai Tung has a long history in Hong Kong. It is famous for their wife cakes and pineapple buns…read more They were one of the major players in getting pineapple buns recognized as one of Hong Kong's 480 intangible cultural heritages in June of 2014. I recently visited this famed bakery and tried their original wife cake and one that is green bean and ginger flavored. Both were warm, flaky and gooey in the middle. I loved that the original was not too sweet and had an extremely fresh flavor. The green bean and ginger was also really interesting. I liked that there was just a hint of ginger and that it wasn't overpowering. Because I didn't learn until later that they were also famous for their pineapple buns during my first visit, I had to return to check them out. I bought an original pineapple bun and a Tai Tung pineapple bun. The original one was rather disappointing. It might have been that I didn't get one that was fresh out of the oven and it was cold that day so they cooled down quicker than normal. The top wasn't especially crispy and the bottom was actually kind of rubbery. The Tai Tung pineapple bun is interesting because it has pineapple inside! I didn't think that the pineapple filling actually added too much pineapple flavor to the bun though. Although unique, I was also a little bit disappointed with this one. I would say stick with the wife cake and skip the pineapple buns from here.

It took me a while to find the place to review since I only stopped by HongLong for a day!! I love…read morethe variety of different choices, the freshly baked bakery! However, I wouldn't say it is top notch!!

I googled the best egg tarts in Hong Kong and someone had this list of four places. Hoover's egg…read moretart was on the list but it was ranked the lowest out of the four. But this place was relatively close to where I was staying in Hong Kong, so I decided to check it out. The place is super small that you can't really go inside. All the pastry offerings are displayed so that you can view them from outside and then you just tell the ladies inside what you want. I didn't see the egg tarts right away, but they were actually right by the door. I got one at $7HKD. The egg tart was fresh and hot and it was super tasty. I kind of wish I had gotten a second one.

I did not like the egg tart. However, I do not think I will ever like an egg tart. As far as egg…read moretarts go the crust was buttery, nice egg taste. I did love the pistachio angle food cake. Light and fluffy with a hint of pistachio.

This place is not overrated at all. Lives up to all the hype - I didn't even know there was a hype…read morefor this restaurant until I got back home and looked it up online! FOOD Silky smooth tofu, you really can't ask for more. I chose the hot tau fu fa and I was blown away. It was only $9. I had the tau fu fa at Lamma Island and I must say that this store blew those ones out of the water. The tofu would just melt in your mouth. I want another bowl just thinking about it. You can add more brown sugar or ginger sugar water if you like your tau fu fa to be a bit sweeter. The ginger infused sugar water gives the dish a bit of a kick - you can barely taste the ginger but it adds some spice to the tofu. They also sell bottled soy milk so you can get one for the road. SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE Quick turnaround and service. They served the tofu before I even got a chance to pay. Efficiency at its finest. There is limited seating so don't expect this to be a place where you can sit and chat. The guys were friendly and were helpful when I asked for recommendations. Will definitely go again - this time I'll be sure to bring a few bowls back home.

This place raised theirs by a dollar, so it's $9 for dine in (only 3 seats) and $10 for take out. I have no regrets especially on a cold night with piping hot perfect texture tofu soup! Yes there is another shop that sells this too, but the other shop has other options to add into the classic.

This little restaurant has been here since as long as my parents can remember. It was a childhood favourite place for my parents, took my sister and I here when we were younger, and now it is a staple place for me to grab some delicious breakfast. This place has history and it can't be given up for anything. Doesn't hurt that the food is also delicious. Thank you tseun wan!
