It was lunchtime, I was hungry, I love egg tarts, and I heard Gold Garden Cafe has one of the best egg tarts in Hong Kong, so I made my way over. It was a bustling place, but there luckily was a table open, and I got seated right away. For those like me who cannot read Chinese or speak Cantonese, there is an English menu. The menu has a lot of options, and after some pondering, I ordered one of their lunch specials, which was a set containing a bowl of rice noodles with pickled mustard greens, a ham omelet with bread, an egg tart, and a cup of milk tea. Everything was brought to the table so quickly. It was so much food for one person, and everything was so simple yet delicious and ridiculously affordable. The milk tea was strong and hit the spot. The egg tart was truly a standout - flakey, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness. I was so stuffed, and I did not finish everything.
Go to Gold Garden Cafe for an authentic Hong Kong cha chaan teng experience. Definitely get their egg tarts. read more
