Koi Kei has set the bar on pineapple cakes for me. I am ruined for the rest of my life until I can…read moremake my way back to their shops. You can find the shops in Hong Kong but the prices are more expensive than getting it direct from Macau. There are multiple stores in Macau and from what I could tell, the prices were the same even if you were closer to the ferry. There are boxes of cookie, jerky, etc samples throughout the store and the employees are typically a little pushy to get you in and looking around. I think it's because that's half the battle. Once you're in and you try a sample, you'll walk out with full yellow bags of goodies! Highly recommend: Walnut and peanut brittle which was very light and crunchy vs the American version that feels like you're going to break your teeth! At $15 USD for a generous size box and gorgeous packaging, it was a great souvenir. We got packaged jerky instead of the fresh jerky that you can buy by the pound. The employee said it was the same but the packaged ones come in little 2" sealed chunks. Instructions say to heat it up prior to eating which resulted in a smoky microwave and super hot napalm covered jerky. Pineapple cakes: get the big box. Tender and almost crumbly cake / cookie outside and pineapple filling; you can see the chunks of fruit! Absolute perfection. Shortbread cookies: comes in multiple flavors. My son loved the chocolate chip the best. Some of the packaging at Kee Wah looks similar to Koi Kei but they are not the same. Both are good but Koi Kei is top notch. Can't wait to visit again!

One thing I do not understand is that the items in the HK Koi Kei is way more expensive than the Macau Koi Kei. I suggest you get it at Macau. Also the Macau Koi Kei is crazy packed full of people and HK Koi Kei is very quiet. I mean of course if you do not want to travel to Macau then you might as well get it here. I do enjoy their products!

This shop is a little hidden just north of Kowloon park and west of the Jordan mtr. The base tofu is the same for all the options, but you can choose ginger, which is the classic.

They have 5 types of egg tarts but shortcrust original was sold out. D24 durian, puff pastry…read moreoriginal & Japanese cheese all seemed to have the same pastry, which was rich enough & flaky. All tarts had a very smooth custard filling. Portuguese was good with a good flaky crust. The custard was pretty rich. The sweetness was between a Portuguese & Macanese Portuguese egg tart. There was no cinnamon. Puff pastry original was good. The custard had a very light & pure flavour, apparently due to local milk. D24 durian was decent. It was better than Thai durian though still not that strong. Using local milk seems to have lightened the flavour. Cheese was good. The custard had a very rich & savoury cheese taste with a salty-sweet flavour profile. The cheese was so rich, the richness of the crust didn't matter.

I'm so glad I tried this because it was one of the best things I tried! I know there are a few locations of Mammy Pancake around Hong Kong island, but the location we went to was near Wan Chai in what is literally a hole in the wall. Queueing up was hard since we spilled out onto the sidewalk. But no matter the wait, this was totally worth it. A the banana chocolate flavor is a must!

We opted for a Matcha flavored waffle with "Italian hazelnut chocolate spread" aka Nutella, everything with Nutella is good, right? Short line at this location in HK, and just a few minute wait both to order and receive our food. The waffle came out hot with the Nutella warm as well from being spreading onto the hot waffle. It was a really nice snack, delicious waffle was fluffy and crispy at the same time, really excellent with the spread. There are a ton of egg puff shops in Hong Kong, but this one has good marketing and made the experience just a little bit better by adding extra options, such as March flavoring in the battery and Nutella, along with many other toppings. They also provide each customer with an order number and show they number on a screen when it is ready, which makes things easier when so many languages are being spoken.

Mochi ! Freshly Made Mochi!…read more This may not be that most "famous" mochi stall on Cheung Chau but I can assure you that they tastes just as good and without the lines. Durian is my must order as usual. But the mango tasted just as good. On a hot day, remember to pick up an iced cold herbal drink! They are refreshing and supposed to be good for you. Menu in both Chinese, English and with photos too. In doubt just point!

"I always thought of myself as James Bond." - Michelle Yeoh…read more You must think I'm a freak for giving all the egg tart bakeries on Hong Kong Island perfect scores. Well yea, I can be a freak lol, but in this case it's all the bakeries "so far", not all were exceptional, but damn most are! Tai Cheong Bakery is the OG of bakeries on my list. Established in 1954 here on Lyndhurst Terrace, Tai Cheong Bakery is a legendary Hong Kong bakery famed for pioneering cookie-crust egg tarts. Known as a favorite of the last British Governor, Chris Patten, it is considered a must-visit for warm, buttery egg tarts, along with their signature Sha Weng (Chinese donuts). Bakehouse and Hashtag B Bakeries are the innovative ones that turned the "egg tart wars" upside down with modern recipes and Michelin baby followers lol. On the other side you have Tai Cheong Bakery that has been using the same recipe for 72 years. All amazing bakeries yet something in my heart will always favor the originals. On my visit I arrived about 10 minutes before opening and was second in line. For the 10 minutes I chatted with the sweet Korean lady who was there for the same reason as me... original egg tarts! There's a menu sign posted outside - lucky for those waiting in line because it's a photo menu with Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English translation. Once the doors opened I was second in line and the line of about a dozen formed behind me. Auntie greeted me in English and I ordered the following: Egg Tart (Cookie Crust) 12 HK$ x2, Puff Pastry Egg Tart 12 HK$, Milk Protein Egg Tart 15 HK$, BBQ Pork Pastry 7 HK$ x2. I actually wanted the Coconut Egg Tart, but oddly I ended up with eh Milk Protein Egg Tart. Ok, still ate it! Ambiance can be described as a good chi bakery, and apparently this is the original location from 1954, if so it was really clean and inviting. I didn't see a sit-down area tho. Everything I had delicious, yes including the Milk Protein Egg Tart I didn't order lol. The traditional Egg Tart (Cookie Crust) amazing with flaky crust and tasty filling expected from only the best Dan Tat! In the end, Tai Cheong Bakery is a must for egg tart fanatics. In fact, the menu was diverse enough to walk out with no egg tarts and still be happy as a clam. I heard the buns here are delicious. My only regret was not having a second visit, but it's only because it's located in Central and I was staying in Causeway Bay. Next time I'll jump on the Ding Ding for a second visit! Out of all the "traditional" bakeries this was tops! Pls follow my IG travel adventures: @eric_travel_guru
