My first experience of Top Pot Bakery was in Taiwan. I loved the bread sooo much that I packed a few in my suitcase to HK. I am not fond of bread, not at all. So you can bet how tasty their bread is to make me go through all the troubles. When I learnt that the Bakery is opening in HK, I was thrilled!!! I was there the opening of the Bakery and I was not let down. The HK branch is, in general, no difference from the TW branch, in terms of the quality and variety of the food and the decor!
Enough about the background.
I loooove their bread. Their signature "Black Eye Bean Bean" is heavenly! There is something really special about the texture of the bread and the body of the bread is extra moist, soft yet chewy. You can taste the wheat of the flavor, and of course the mouth-watering chocolate! The molten chocolate melts from within when you micro-wave the bread (or you can melt it with the heat of your body as you put it in you mouth, i guess?)!!! A must-try!!!! It is $28 for 5. Great for value!
I also love the pillow-shaped chocolate bread. I dont remember the name though. It has cheese, chocolate, and coffee powder (?). The combo of the three brings the best of one another! And the texture of the bread is soft and moist, somewhat like "Black Eye Bean Bean". This one is a bit more pricey. But considering the size and quality of the bread, it is really worth the money!
One thing I dont like about the HK branch is its location. Though it is near the MTR station, Prince Edward is not convenient location. Especially when the Bakery is more of a higher end, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay or Central seems a more sensible choice.
I look forward to seeing more of the Bakery in different parts of HK!
