This bakeshop is celebrity-owned by Kathy Yuen circa 2020 and is known for their cheesecakes. The…read morebakery goods offered also include ice cream, mochi waffles, bubble egg waffles, muffins, mousse cakes, chiffon cakes, and more. This location is hidden inside of Yata Supermarket at New Town Plaza in Shatin (New Territories). It is on the lower level behind all the groceries, on the far right where there are a few eateries. The staff are friendly and efficient while juggling both front end and kitchen area as one assists customers and the other prepares the food items. It is somewhat confusing that there are actually two separate counters, onefacing left and one facing right inside of Yata. Apparently the one on the right side only services guests looking to purchase cakes. The one facing the left only services guests looking to purchase everything else (drinks, ice cream, waffles). Since I wanted to try a variety of their goods, I went to buy a cheesecake slice first and it was placed inside a paper bag for to-go. I then made my way onto the left side of the shop and purchased waffles, which took about ten minutes to make and bag for to-go. They were also placed in a paper bag. Payment for both counters were easily made via Octopus, though they accept everything else too. Since there are no seats to enjoy these goods in the vicinity, the only way to devour them was to take it home or eat on-the-go. There is no central dining or food court space in this shopping centre. Here's what I tried and my thoughts about each item: PANDAN BASQUE CHEESECAKE SLICE: light green and appealing, the burnt basque exterior was perfect and smooth, pandan flavor was there but too subtle, the interior was smooth but not creamy and sided on dense rather than light PANDAN MOCHI WAFFLE: nice and chewy with lots of pandan flavor, the kaya was also a nice addition PANDAN BUBBLE EGG WAFFLE: an attractive choice for pandan lovers in bubble egg waffle form, lightly flavored, mochi like texture, addictive Overall a nice spot to grab a sweet treat but be prepared to eat it right away for the fresh factor.

As part of my modernized egg tart hunt in Hong Kong, Hashtag B was on the list of must-go bakeries…read more This location is on a busy street of Tsim Sha Tsui and its easy to spot it because it's the only spot that has a long line. The bakery does not have any interior space for dining nor standing space other than the counter. The line moves quite fast as one person takes your order while you move thru the line at the case and another person checks you out. There were many tourists at this location due to the popularity of attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui and many standing in front of the bakery to get selfie. If you're at another Hashtag B, I think it would be a bit less crowded? The Hashtag B tart was the only item I had tried and it was a clear winner in my book. It is known for its flower-shaped napoleon style tart and the crust was buttery, flaky, and crisp while the interior was custard. Very well crafted and I enjoyed the crunch from the caramelization. The tart base remained crisp throughout, unlike other tarts I've devoured at other well known bakeries. The price for one of these egg tarts is incredibly reasonable so you might want to get more to share or for later (the tart stays as good as when you get it).

This is very close to the pier in case you want to grab something to go or make a quick trip for some local food without having to worry about making it back to the pier on time. The mango mochi was large and delicious. The mochi skin was smooth and stretchy. The mango inside was juicy and sweet. It was easy to devour in a few bites without overly messy eating. I'd go back for seconds and even try their other flavors. Icy treats like frozen watermelon on a stick is also a popular item here whenever the weather is hot and humid. Service was fast and the lady working will get you on your way asap.

Mixue is an experience and not only a bubble tea shop. This spot is one of several in Hong Kong and…read moreknown to dominate globally now. The prices are unbeatable. The quality is also pretty good, not stingy and not watered down. This specific location is close to Langham Place in Mongkok, where it's catered to the crowds that walk by as people travel to their next destination in the hustle and bustle. The line to order forms outside and once you place your order and get your receipt, move to the back where it is inside space connected to a retail/office space (kind of odd). The drinks I tried were so refreshing on a hot day and loaded with delicious toppings. However, I still need to try their soft serve ice cream. I definitely wish I lived closer to a Mixue location in the USA, but I'll be sure to make a visit when I'm in HK.

Nostalgic Hong Kong treats are now available at New Town Plaza's Yata thanks to Lam Kee Snacks…read morebeing a newer tenant inside! They previously had a few pop-ups prior to its current position inside of the supermarket on the first floor. I'm glad it is gaining popularity because Hong Kong really needs to maintain the sweet treats that have been passed on through the generations. I find it less and less on the streets where grandmas and grandpas or aunties and uncles used to sell traditional treats like black sesame jelly rolls (film rolls), red bean sweet rice cakes in white or brown sugar (put chai ko), fresh mango mochi (lo mai chee), and even coconut wrap with candy (tong chung beng). Lam Kee Snacks also has a stall in Central (inside of Central Market), so whichever location you are closer to I recommend visiting. The stall isn't very big, and there is no seating around the stall, meaning you have to take everything to go. The snacks are very tasty and reminds me of all things good. While they may not be completely the taste of childhood, it is extremely close. I appreciate that they offer several types of nostalgic treats and I can get them in one go if I want to. The staff have always been friendly and efficient. My absolute favorites from Lam Kee Snacks are their Black Sesame Jelly Rolls, Dragon Beard Candy, and Mango Mochi. I really hope this place stays and that more people get to enjoy these traditional treats.

If you're a black sesame die-hard fan, you absolutely must make a visit to Heartwarming. The…read morelocation is almost always packed and the line is along the sidewalk leading up to the shop. It is very worth the wait since the line moves fast and there are no spots to sit down and enjoy the treats. Enjoy as you go or just stand out of the way nearby if your cone starts to melt quickly in the heat and humidity of Hong Kong during the summer months. The shop is known for scratch-made black sesame soft serve ice cream served in a signature black cone, black sesame sweet soup, black sesame balls, black sesame paste, black sesame ice cream drizzle, and more. The good news is that you can purchase these items and enjoy them from the comfort of home as there are many items that are packaged and boxed for later use for self or as a gift. I was only able to devour the black sesame soft serve in their signature cone on this recent visit and will definitely come back to try the black sesame jelly rolls (film rolls) and sweet soup. However, I purchased their black sesame balls and drizzle to go and believe me, this was one of the best buys I've had during a trip to Hong Kong. Think rich and nutty, but smooth and lightly sweet. Just amazing!
