Bakehouse Hong Kong: The Ultimate Egg Tart Experience

 


Discovering Hong Kong's vibrant culinary scene is always a delight, and our recent visit to Bakehouse in Tung Chung, nestled in the picturesque Lantau Island, was a memorable one. Renowned for its handcrafted pastries and indulgent treats, Bakehouse offers a modern twist on traditional flavours. Among their many delectable offerings, the egg tarts stood out as a true star.

Egg Tarts with a Perfect Balance

Bakehouse's egg tarts are a sensory delight from the very first glance. Priced reasonably at HKD12.50 each, they feature a perfectly charred top with a caramelised sheen, which hints at the richness within. The golden crust, crafted from flaky pastry, has an inviting browned hue. As you take a bite, the buttery layers crumble delicately, delivering a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.

The custard at the heart of these egg tarts is nothing short of exceptional. Velvety and smooth, it carries a subtle hint of vanilla and a gentle sweetness that doesn’t overwhelm but rather elevates the entire experience. It’s this meticulous balance of textures and flavours that sets Bakehouse's egg tarts apart.

A Versatile Treat

Whether you’re in the mood for a midday pick-me-up or a delightful dessert after dinner, these egg tarts are a perfect choice. They are not overly sweet, making them a versatile treat for any time of the day. Pairing them with a warm beverage enhances the indulgence, allowing the flavours to truly shine.

Beyond Egg Tarts: Milk Tea Honey Toast Danish

While the egg tarts stole the show, another noteworthy mention from Bakehouse is their Milk Tea Honey Toast Danish, priced at HKD36. This pastry is an ingenious nod to Hong Kong’s iconic milk tea culture. The flaky layers are infused with the bold, comforting flavours of milk tea, and a drizzle of honey adds a delightful touch of sweetness. It’s a creative offering that perfectly complements Bakehouse’s dedication to culinary craftsmanship.

Ambience and Service

Bakehouse Tung Chung boasts a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot for a quick treat or a relaxed catch-up with friends. The service is prompt, and the staff are friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.

Conclusion

If you find yourself in Tung Chung or exploring Lantau Island, a stop at Bakehouse is a must. Their egg tarts are a true testament to their baking expertise and love for detail. At HKD12.50 each, they’re an affordable indulgence that captures the essence of Hong Kong’s vibrant food culture. Whether you're a tourist or a local, Bakehouse promises to make your day a little sweeter, one egg tart at a time.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...

Hooi Kee’s Hong Kong Style Roasted Char Siew and Roasted Chicken Rice: A Decent Meal?

  Looking for what to eat in Ang Mo Kio, we got ourselves a simple order of char siew rice with roasted chicken for this round of chicken rice food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Char siew pieces were fatty and lean, a good ratio combination, with the fats roasted to a melt in your mouth consistency. We loved the gravy that drizzled onto the charred and caramelized parts, which elevated its taste and flavour. Coupled with the tenderlicious roasted chicken, which was soft and juicy even for their breast meat. Skin was crisp and tasted lovely with their briny sauce. Rice was fragrant and not greasy, and somewhat addictive together with the char siew gravy and chicken sauce. Chili was mundane, runny and spicy, complimenting the rice and chicken perfectly. @yumzyumzsg Hooi Kee Hong Kong Style Roasted - Roasted Chicken Rice with Char Siew Visit YumzYumz.com for their food review. #sgfood #foodlover #foodreview #f...
