Technically, you should keep the baked good and treats to a minimum, but when I hate going to restaurants and don't want to cook or make a mess, I find baked goods to be convenient for snacks later on. Maria's Bakery has a great selection of breads and baked goods. I love the green "dorayaki" with red bean paste. It's not really a dorayaki but it's damn yummy and I think there's something like mochi inside. Mmmmm. I also really like the pineapple bun that has the slab of butter inside. The regular kind is good, too, but that butter really sets off the taste of the bun and makes it heavenly. Oh my gosh! The Cantonese are geniuses. The sausage buns are alright and I've tried the BBQ Pork tart thing, but it's not amazing. Oh, you must definitely try the egg tarts! I thought egg tarts were good in the US, but I was damn wrong. You have to try them here! Also, everything's fairly priced and you can pay with your octopus card. Easy easy easy!

Quality as always is consistent, shops are clean and service is prompt and the sales ladies are polite. Most of the baked goods are produced in their central kitchen, one or two types of loaf bread are baked (with ready made dough) on the premises. Smart marketing strategy in use here together with a semi-open kitchen - aroma and visual as tools to attract customers.

I used to be a fan of this bakery but the attitude that I get from the staff is outrageous. The store set up is typical of Kee Wah bakeries and the store is packed with customers, making it hard to navigate through the store. The staff don't help either with little to no interest in assisting customers to the cashier end of the store. Do you get the picture yet? When the store is crowded and no one can make turns or walk over to pay without pushing one another, that's a problem. I almost gave up shopping here because I found it annoying. Worst part is, the "greeters" standing at the store front literally just stand there. No "hello" or anything. Once I found all the goods I wanted and made my way over to pay, the cashier acted like she didn't want to do her job. Honey, you're in retail and need to spice up your customer service skills. Needless to say I'm not coming back to this location.

Walking to Blackball, I was greeted by several people standing outside Bread Man as they offered samples of cookies. I love bakeries, especially the ones in Hong Kong, but hearing "and everything is buy one get one free for the bread and cakes" ... um, who am I to walk away from that! The store owners and workers were so welcoming, offering to help us grab any bread that we wanted or introduce any items that we might have been unfamiliar with. We ended up buying two pineapple buns, so with the deal both were under $1 USD. Such a steal! Went to Blackball to order my dessert, but as we walked back to the hotel, of course we passed by again, and this time my dad headed inside to take a closer look at the selection. The workers recognized us and offered to help us once more, telling us that they had just opened so they were doing their BOGO promotion on Sunday's for a limited time. All in all, we ended up buying a total of 4 breads for the price of 2. Pineapple bun was good - not as good as the Kee-Wah Bakery in the US, but they were pretty decent. The bread was soft and the pineapple crust on top was sweet enough. But I also ate it before boarding my plane back home, so I wasn't feeling too happy. Although I didn't taste the other bread that my dad bought, I do remember them saying that everything was pretty tasty. And the cookie samples were really good, too! Glad I was able to buy some bread whilst taking advantage of their BOGO promotion. Workers are super nice. The storefront is in a really good location. Definitely come by if you're in the area to check out their bakery selection!

My favorite Chinese bakery in Hong Kong…read more My brother said the Kee Wah bakery in International Financial Centre is larger than the one located at the basement of Sogo in Causeway Bay; perhaps there is a bigger selection. Whatever my brother says, I believe him. After all he is the wiser one. There are just two favorites I usually get in Kee Wah. They are: 1) Chinese sweet crispies (HKD20 for a pack of 4) 2) Pineapple Shortcake (HKD8.50 each) This shop is indeed bigger than the small stall in Sogo but the few things I bought can be found in the small stall as well. There are so many interesting pastries I like to get but the thought of packing them to head home to Atlanta in 9 days time is already giving me a headache. So I bought 8 pineapple shortcakes, 2 mango shortcakes (since I love mangoes!!) and two packs of sweet crispies. Will definitely try to save those pastries so I can slowly enjoy them when I return to Atlanta :)

I would recommend giving both of these a try. The egg tart is egg white based and will be a bit different than your typical Hog Kong egg tart. A bit more expensive as well but I think it's worth the premium. The crust is a bit thicker and you get a bit more more crunch. The milk bread is thick cut toast and I often will pair this with avocado and and a sunny side up egg. The bread is soft and fluffy and has a bit of a sweetness to it. Not your typical white bread.
