Its not an easy task, finding the best egg tart or buns out there

Some shops are so inconsistent, so u need to try them a few times before judging, to be fair! And the Flaky Pastry type is very hard to get right, whereas the Biscuity type like the one served in Tai Cheong is easier, but they kind of win on egginess factor I guess!

Some other supposedly famous Egg Tart shops in HK I can recall right now 新華茶餐廳 (長沙灣 branch), 祥香園茶餐廳, 蘭亭咖啡閣, etc. I personally like St. Lolan Bakery’s version in Sai Wan! Each to their own

haha the term “Best in Town” is very subjective sometimes, I’ve even heard that you can find the best egg tarts in Tai Cheong, Honolulu or Kam Fung. It all boils down to your own personal taste I guess? and I’m more inclined towards egg tarts with flaky crust

Apart from the pretty good Polo Bun with butter (I might swap it with French butter next time I go there haha!), they also sometimes do a very good Egg Tart – when its not underbaked! A big gamble!

When its good, its the best in Hong Kong.
When its not, it tastes like some weird soda powder ! :S

I am still deliberating over where they make the best Polo Bun and Egg Tarts, that’s after 2 years of searching after repatroning back to HK!

[...] it, it sticks in your teeth, like how bread soaks too much in water. Nothing beats Polo Yao from Kam Wah Cafe at Prince Edward! You should only choose the egg tarts… And avoid the polo bun at all [...]
