Join the steady line of hungry customers in front of Hoover Cake Shop, a local favorite for their array of cakes, breads, buns, and best-selling tarts. Their Egg Tarts are so popular that even flight attendants buy multiple boxes to take home to their families. Unlike other bakeshops, they use duck eggs to give their flaky Egg Tarts’ custard filling a rich flavor with a firm center. Their Pineapple Buns are also a must-try, which come with flavored fillings such as red bean, plum, and peanut butter.

Considered one of the best egg tarts in Hong Kong (and certainly one of my favourites), air stewardesses used to buy egg tarts from here before they boarded flights traveling all over the world, to take these delicious morsels to friends and family residing elsewhere. The egg tarts are still delicious, but the new airport was built more than half an hour away by car, and it has become too inconvenient for the habit to survive. Still, this modest little hole in the wall shop (that literally has no space inside for you to stand and browse) serves these delicious morsels hot off the tray quite a number of times a day. There’s still a queue sometimes, and you’ll be able to choose from 3 types of egg tarts. The cookie crust egg tart, the flaky egg tart, or the Portugese. I love them all, but my favourite is the flaky egg tart! Butter butter butter 😍

Honeymoon Dessert (Lantau Island)
As the original Honeymoon Dessert shop, the Sai Kung branch has developed into a bilingual haven to satiate your sweet tooth. The service and the interior design are very traditionally local (despite having an English menu), but the food is diverse. The signature yellow bowls of the old days are moving towards trendy glass jars filled with quirky flavours, such as the Durian pancake, New Guinea sago and Hong Kong favourites like grass jelly. It may be wallet-friendly, but it sure isn't diet-friendly!
