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.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

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...
