Since 1984, the bakery focuses on traditional treats. Loved the banana cake which is light and addictively delicious. The pan fried mochi with sesame seeds is so unique. The shop has a decent line that moves quickly. No surprise that it has been Michelin recommended and featured on Netflix. Next time, I'll try the wife cake.

Ming Wah (明華餅家) is the kind of local Chinese bakery does everything well. Located in the heart of…read moreMongkok, they are truly hard to beat: no pretension, awesome prices, efficient service, and above all, delicious products. I honestly wish all bakeries could operate the way they do. There are no English signs and the workers do not speak much English at all. (#1) The place is old school and super local. Instead of grabbing a tray and serving yourself, in this setup the items are out on display in tubs and you point to each one that you want the worker to package for you. There is always a crowd here, so items run out quick. I love their version of the egg tart (蛋撻) and the wife cake (老婆餅) is one of the best I've had. A popular pastry is their hot dog pastry (腸仔包), which is fluffy and almost buttery with every bite. They have an awesome variety of shao bing (燒餅), which they bake and grill almost looking like stuffed pancakes, but they're usually filled with a sweeter ingredient such as bean paste (豆沙), sweetened custard (奶黃), azuki / red bean (紅豆), just to name a few. Everything ranges from $3-7 HKD, which in my book is extremely affordable. Try to target the items you want ahead of time and be sure to bring cash. I wouldn't bother calling ahead of time and I would suggest being patient with the staff when the crowds are fierce. ___________ (#1) If you can't rock the 廣東話, be prepared to point.

After dinner at Spring Deer, we walked from Mody Road to Hau Fook Street within 20 mins. We hadn't digested the dinner and need to be ready for dessert. The menu selection was great, we almost wanted to all everything. My hubby joked to my friend that he might have allodoxaphobia if he has to pick the dessert. LOL Chocolate soufflé - It's light and fluffy. However, the chocolate taste was so bland. Mango and pomelo sago cream - Mango was so fresh and sweet but Pomelo just a bit sour to me. Mango sago with Durian ice cream - Mango and durian are my hubby's flavour. We rarely can eat fresh durian in Vancouver. My hubby just finished his own dessert without sharing. I believed it should be good. We're so satisfied on our first day in HK.

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.

I love that they serve traditional Chinese desserts such as black sesame soup, glutinous rice balls in ginger soup, yams in ginger soup, etc. but also have a lot of new and innovative desserts such as jelly noodles. I also love the fruit basket desserts that I dub as "healthy" desserts. These have a variety of fruit and jelly in them with a mango puree. I've also has their black sesame soup with the glutinous rice balls and that was really good. I love that the glutinous rice ball with peanut filling actually has bits of peanuts in it so there was a nice texture to it. Although there is sometimes a wait, I think it's worth it if you're looking for a solid Chinese style dessert join.

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 always order their mango series because it's always yummy and not overly sweet. You can taste that it is made with mangoes! Good thing that I like to order in this restaurant is tofu, sweet dessert. It's usually very very smooth and again not overly sweet. This place can't really go wrong if you wanted to have some nice dessert. The service is really quick. The waiters would come to you immediately and ask you for your order. Usually people come and know what they want to get. The place itself is quite small, so there isn't a lot of seatings people come and go quickly I would have given it five star if the seats are more comfortable But it is kind of crowded and a bit rush. I knocked down star. But if you're here, just for the food and don't care for the environment and ambience, this is a place to go !
