Hoover Cake Shop 豪華餅店

Old traditional bakery shop of hong Kong, well known for its no 1 popular egg tart, with other choices of cakes and breads. Was rumoured to be a bakery shop whereby the egg tart so yummy that celebrity Chow Yun Fatt would drop by here very often to grab a piece or two himself. Egg tart comes with two style, one as normal and the other with burning skin at the top layer. Skin texture is smooth and tasteful, the fillings comes with a rich taste, something that taste and smell just out of the other typical egg tart you get every now and then. It's hard to describe how it taste, but best for you to try it yourself, definitely 0 regrets. You can opt for the famous Hong Kong polo bun here too, they have the plain ones, with sour jam, peanut jam etc. Many variety which you could pick up to your preference.

The egg tarts here are really good, better than super overpriced Tai Cheong. Incredibly egg-y that matches very well with the crispy flake pastry shell. The only thing is, it costs HKD 8 each, which is double that of some other places but not as bad as super overpriced, tourist targeting shops.

We tried there famous egg tart, the shell has quite a lot of layers and very crispy, but it’s a bit too oily for us.

I was recommended to visit here by the locals of Kowloon City for Egg tart The egg tart was very soft and rich in flavor. They only accept cash and they have other breads too

I've been on the hunt to find the best egg tarts in Hong Kong, and while I wouldn't call myself an connoisseur, these are definitely the ones at the top of my list.

I decided to visit this small local bakery after the strong recommendation from my colleague who grew up in this town. It was first time trying HK style egg tart, and I absolutely loved it! Crispy tart lasted till the next day in the fridge. I don't mind walking half an hour to get to this place :)

I was still hungry so got a Flower roll from this place. The woman was quite annoyed because I didn't buy more. The Flower roll is made with bits of pandan cake, chocolate cake, cream and walnuts which are obviously cake scraps and leftover cake bits when they make the cakes. Overall not my cup tea but a popular pick for people in Kowloon City.

Shop is run by this nice old lady. If you're unsure how to tell her what you want, just take a photo of it and show it to her. Goods here are all freshly made and amazing. I recommend the egg tarts and her cookies! ((:

I googled the best egg tarts in Hong Kong and someone had this list of four places. Hoover's egg tart was on the list but it was ranked the lowest out of the four. But this place was relatively close to where I was staying in Hong Kong, so I decided to check it out. The place is super small that you can't really go inside. All the pastry offerings are displayed so that you can view them from outside and then you just tell the ladies inside what you want. I didn't see the egg tarts right away, but they were actually right by the door. I got one at $7HKD. The egg tart was fresh and hot and it was super tasty. I kind of wish I had gotten a second one.

I did not like the egg tart. However, I do not think I will ever like an egg tart. As far as egg tarts go the crust was buttery, nice egg taste. I did love the pistachio angle food cake. Light and fluffy with a hint of pistachio.

I was told this place has the BEST egg tarts in Hong Kong. Well, tasted PRETTY damn good to me. But then again, pretty much all the old school bakeries that sell egg tarts tastes amazing to me. So.....you're just have to try this place for your self.

So yummy!!! We hiked across town to have the best egg tart in Hong Kong. It did not disappoint! We managed to get there just as they were taking them out of the oven. I got far more than I planned but I'm glad I did. Everyone loved them.
