“ Love this shop’s egg tart. The one back in Singapore isn’t that good. Likely due to the ingredients used. So whenever I can in HK I’ll come have this. ”
“ I tried the famous pineapple bun with butter which was delicious. It’s a nice place if you want to try local food. The only negative was the waitress that initially was a bit dry and grumpy which almost made me leave. I am glad I stayed and had a lovely breakfast. Prices are very affordable. I paid 42$ for the coffee and bun. ”
“ The place I would recommend every traveler to come! Their egg tarts are the best I’ve ever had in HK and they sell out around 4pm! Flaky and buttery and distinct layers. The egg flavor is not lost in the creamy and silky soft custard, perfectly set. The French toast is also great! A layer of peanut butter as well as a layer of butter between slices of white bread, fried to perfection then coated in golden syrup and a small piece of butter. Indulgence on. Plate. I like going for their afternoon tea sets. This fried tuna roll was surprisingly delicious and although it’s 90% bread, the panko makes it very similar to fried fish! ”
“ A good place for their traditional and famous pineapple buns - it does not have pineapple. The bun is crispy on top and wonderfully soft inside, served warm with a thick slice of melting butter. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic but feels authentic, giving you a true taste of local life. ”
