This no-frills bakery has been a neighborhood staple since my elementary school days, and it's easy to see why. The hot milk tea (9/10) is a standout--rich, fragrant, and perfectly steeped, thanks to the HK English Breakfast teabags they use instead of the usual Lipton. For $2.25, the large (16oz) comes with two teabags, while the small (8oz) is just $1.25. The iced milk tea (9/10) is equally reliable, though slightly pricier at $2.50 for 8oz. Pro tip: If you ask for sweetener, they'll use wildflower honey, a nice touch.
The triangle cakes (all $1.75) are a fun, affordable treat. The coffee, rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla versions (all 8/10) are moist and lightly sweet. The chocolate cake (7/10) was good but didn't wow me--still, for the price, no complaints. The real hidden gem? The bag of cake crusts/excess (9/10), a budget-friendly way to snack on leftovers without guilt. The egg tart (7/10) was decent--flaky crust, decent custard--but not memorable enough.
The shop itself is tiny, with just 2-3 tables usually occupied by longtime regulars--neighborhood elders sipping tea and chatting. Service is quick and no-nonsense, reflecting the bakery's unpretentious charm. Affordable, quick, and reliably open late (I've even swung by past 11:30 PM in the summer to find them still serving), it's the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret.
It's not fancy, but that's the charm. It's a place for cheap, satisfying bites and a dose of community warmth. For a reliable milk tea and a slice of local history, this spot hits the mark. read more
