Our Guestbook
“ My husband brought me here to taste the famous buns and egg tarts as a tourist after departing HK for six years despite that I grew up here. The food turned out superb, freshly baked, less sweet and super delicious. One good thing is that they allowed us to dine in and order buns and egg tarts without a regular meal, because we were full by then. Highly recommended ”
“ This was probably the best value and taste breakfast set for 41HKD! You get so much food and the taste is awesome! This was very popular amongst the locals as the place was packed by 7am. Way better than the other tourist traps in town. Service was ok, didn’t get scolded . ”
“ I had a custard bun from here and the taste exceeded my expectations. Maybe the bakery here is a little bit higher quality than others. The staff lady was also very sweet and friendly. ”
“ Only managed to try the polo bun here and it tasted amazing especially right out from the oven. Crispy on the outside and soft inside ”
“ Chanced upon this restaurant while craving for a good 干炒牛河. This eatery definitely didn't disappt. The beef was succulent and the noodles were not oily as other eateriea. The wok hei was there, but is not at it's max cos it still lacks that char flavor from the wok. Nonetheless it was one of the better ones around. ”
