Over the years, I have purchased vitamins and Mary's Gone Crackers from this store. The staff is friendly and for their small space, they seem to have lots of stuff. Prices are not discounted, but they do have a Reward Card program that is a little perk I suppose They are really conveniently located smack in the middle of Central, which is their best asset. They had an outside remodel to the front of their store at some point in 2017. Store is always well organized and clean.

Koi Kei Bakery is a famous Macau souvenir shop chain. It has stores outside Macau in Hong Kong and…read moreSingapore. This is a small location in Mong Kok on Sai Yeung Choi Street. The selection here is smaller than the ubiquitous locations in Macau which you find in just about every street near the Ruins of St. Paul's. Unlike in Macau, they don't offer Portuguese egg tarts here unfortunately. Store is too small I guess. However, they do have a nice selection of snack cakes and desserts. They come prepackaged so they are perfect as souvenir gifts from your trip. What I like about Koi Kei is that you can sample the product. They have boxes of each item that you can try out before you buy. I bought a couple things from here and I liked them both. The phoenix egg rolls are nice and crispy, but the key ingredient are the coconuts shavings inside. Though beware this product does not travel so well. The package I brought back was mostly intact, but there were a few egg roll pieces that were crumbled up. I would also recommend the orange peel cake that they have here. It is not for everyone, but I really like how fragrant it is and the texture of the pastry. It is nice to know that you don't have to make the trek across the water to Macau to get these delights. A trip to this store in Mong Kok will suffice.

Their cookies are fresh but I don't think they make any in the store. When you walk in you can pretty much tell. They must have made it at a factory and delivered it. But still their cookies are awesome. I highly recommend giving this place a try

You'll find all the greatest hits from Koi Kei (and Macanese bakeries in general) like soft peanut brittle, beef jerky, cookie egg rolls, and almond cookies. This Macanese bakery company is one of the only ones that has HK locations. Although I did go to Macau on my last trip, I bought from bakeries that didn't have HK locations there and saved my Koi Kei purchases for here. They have bulk deals, such as having discounted prices for buying multiple packs of the soft peanut brittle. Since I had plenty of family to appease, I took advantage of the bulk deals. Their soft peanut brittle is excellent: chewy, not too sweet and has a wonderful balance of peanut and the added flavor (coconut, black sesame, etc.). I'm not a huge fan of Macanese almond cookies (traumatic experience as a child as I vomited after eating one) but they are pretty good here. The gift boxes are presentable and pretty, and definitely makes for a nice present for someone not in the area. All the treats are beautifully wrapped or packaged. Service is a little aggressive, as they'll try hard to make you purchase a lot. However, being polite and having the wherewithal to speak Cantonese goes a long way. The lady at the counter gave me a free sample pack with a nice box. They accept credit, which is an incentive.

I saw the same cookies available in smaller quantities in vacuum packaging but the woman assisting me told me that the ones in the gift box are fresher (they're just packed in a clear plastic box with the lid taped shut, not really sealed for long-term storage) and thus taste better. There was an option of a discount with buying multiple but I couldn't carry that much so I stuck to just the almond cookies. They really were wonderfully crisp and slightly buttery but other than that, they were not strong on almond taste. There were just sliced almonds on top. It's a nice snack that's not too sweet but it's not a type of cookie I would crave. I wish I knew what the shop was really known for. I should have asked!

Don't let the giant queue scare you, and yes there is almost always a queue. Despite that, it moves fairly fast. Its definitely not a place where you sit and chat with your friends. They expect you to sit down, order right away, eat it, and leave right away. But I guess many popular places are like that around Hong Kong.. Seating-wise its very cramp here. You'll be sitting basically elbow to elbow with strangers next and behind you. But that doesn't matter because their desserts are so wonderful! Some of my favorites are the tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) that come come with peanut sauce. The one that comes in the ginger soup is good too (for this dish, the balls have fillings inside, such as sesame or peanut sauce). Another good one is their sorbets, which are perfect for a hot day.

Heyyyy, do you like durian? Or even want to give it a shot despite the crazy smell it may emit or…read morethe odd taste it might exude? I believe one of the ways to try durian without having to be afraid of it is by tasting it through the various dessert dishes here at this cute little place. Having no idea that this place existed, I was pretty thankful to my new local friend who suggested this place. It's located in a small little street, similar to an alley way, and by the time you get near it, you'll definitely see a long line of people waiting to get in. The wait itself isn't that bad. Most people just come here to eat dessert and leave right after. Once seated, my friends and I spent some time browsing through the extensive dessert menu and settled on trying the durian with crystal seeds (one of the many popular dishes) and watermelon and lychee with crystal seeds. In summary, the watermelon and lychee were ok. The watermelon ended up being too watery for my taste and the lychee wasn't too memorable. Both tasted decent but definitely not a must try. For the durian, this was surprisingly good! I am normally not a durian fan (the stench gets to me sometime) but here, you couldn't really smell too much of the durian in the dish. The taste of durian was also soften quite a bit, making this dish a bit more doable for those who do not like durian. I found this dish to be pretty tasty and not too sweet and it was unique to eat it with the crystal seeds. Overall, this is a great spot to stop by for desserts. If you're not a fan of durian but can tolerate the smell of it wafting through the restaurant, this place is great to try other HK desserts at an affordable price.
