Kee Wah is a big bakery chain in Hong Kong with stores just about everywhere. This includes even…read moretrain stations. This location is at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong on the MTR level. It is located next to Taste supermarket. I came here looking for one item, wife cakes. Wife cakes (aka lou po beng) are a flaky wintermelon pastry. Wife cakes are the ideal baked good to bring back from Hong Kong because they are individually wrapped and their expiration date is a little longer than your usual baked good. I bought a couple of wife cakes (HK$8 each) as a sample to see whether I should bring some home as gifts. The wife cakes at Kee Wah are indeed very good. I like the sesame seeds on top and the pastry is soft and not too sweet. When eating them, make sure to peel off the paper wrapper underneath the pastry before devouring. In addition to wife cakes, they have your usual assortment of Chinese buns and breads. Kee Wah is also known for their mooncakes and they are also very tasty. But problematic to bring back to the US since the good ones contain egg yolk inside which is generally a no go. Though nothing wrong with picking some up in HK to enjoy them while you are there. The baked goods at Kee Wah are great. If you are a fan of wife cakes or mooncakes, I suggest you visit one of Kee Wah's shops around town to pick up some.

Just ask any old local person and they will recommend this place. Though they sell all sorts of traditional Chinese pastries and cakes, their most popular item is their Wife Cake. Wife Cake is a round-shape traditional delicacy with puffy pastry and a sweet winter melon filling. Its definitely became my favorite place to get Wife Cakes. I always pick up some every time I pass the area.

Walking around in the AM looking for a cute bakery I came across Paper Stone. It's hard not to see…read morethe rows of baked goods and bakers right by the window making fresh goods. The place is clean, presentable with lots of freshly baked pastries along the walls all labelled in English as well. Their prices are quite reasonable ranging from $10-15 HKD from what I bought.

Located on the ground floor of Discovery Park Shopping Center, right next to McDonald's. Easy access from MTR and public buses. This is also another store that's not affected by the constructions.

Before going on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, we saw a Bakehouse right there in Tung Chung. We knew…read moreit was a super popular bakery, so we had to try it. They use special French flour and sourdough to make their pastries, and you can really tell because their pastries are so crispy and flaky. We bought a few different pastries and their famous sourdough egg tart. Honestly, everything tasted amazing. The egg tart is different because the crust is made from crunchy croissant dough. The inside is a super smooth egg custard with a burnt, sweet top. They even have a few unique snacks that you can only buy at this specific location. They cost a little more than regular neighborhood bakeries in Hong Kong, but the high quality makes it totally worth the price. The shop is right outside the MTR station at Citygate Outlets. It is a quick takeaway spot, so it is the perfect breakfast or snack before you get on the cable car.

A delicious Japanese-style Hong Kong bakery with a good selection of beautiful desserts. Everything…read morein the restaurant is immaculately clean and the marketing material is beautiful. The desserts themselves are nice and colorful with good attention paid to small details in the construction of each pastry. Only two things really keeping this place from getting a fifth star from me. First is the price as there's plenty of great bakeries in Hong Kong that I feel are more competitive in value. Second is the inconsistency between items. Even between two mango pastries, I felt one was among the best I had but the other was extremely underwhelming (especially considering the price). I would still recommend Arome Bakery though for generally having delicious pastries, at a slightly premium price.

I was craving egg tarts one day before work in Tai Wai (after devouring one stick of the infamous…read morefishballs near the MTR station) and noticed a new Arome had just popped up. Arome bake + drink has some Hokkaido milk egg tarts for under $10 that are unlike your typical egg tarts in other local bakeries, and worthy of a Yelp. Everyone who's tried them can vouch for their superior quality. The milkiness is discernible even before you take a bite, with a slightly silkier and lighter-coloured filling. It is slightly less artificially sweet than the normal egg tarts, but more delicious, and went down well with my Oreo cookie milkshake, also from Arome. The giant plastic cup lasted me almost half a day before the cookie bits got all mushy and I thought I was just drinking melted chocolate icecream... (melted Magnum chocolate, though, if I were to specify the quality of chocolate...) The cakes here, too, sometimes use Hokkaido milk - like the Hokkaido milk cheesecake, which you can buy in little slices. I would avoid the little chicken pies next time, as their shortcrust pastry is a little too sweet for my liking. But this is standard of most other Hong Kong bakeries. What I did like about it was that the chunks of chicken were generous, so you do feel like you're getting your $8 worth of chicken interior. Still, I would've preferred a more savoury crust than that shortcrust. What's good about this shop is that they've got two cashiers, one for the quick shakes and nibbles, and the other for larger orders like cakes and breads. I didn't need to waste any time at all lining up, and went to my next class with the treats - the chicken pie still warm. Unfortunately, one student of mine denied this pastry pleasure as he said he didn't eat sweet snacks after breakfast and before lunch. I guess I know who I'm not inviting to my next brunch date...

The baked goods are for Cantonese tastes, never too sweet. Always delish and artfully made. Be sure to call ahead to place an order for full size cakes because they run out fast or some items may only be made to order. They also serve cake slices for individual servings. Their chestnut cake and fruit tarts are faves of mine. Try everything and decide for yourself which are your favorites!
