I love discovering new bakeries and snack shops to visit, so when I came across this little gem of a bakery I was very excited. Situated on Gage Street, ABC Bakery ostensibly looks Chinese but actually sells a wide range of Western cakes and pastries.Finding the bakery isn’t difficult- it’s on a very busy street around 5 minutes away from the MTR and adjacent to a 7-11 store.^The unassuming, simply decorated storefrontWalking into the store, you’ll be greeted by the fragrant waft of baked goods
Finding the bakery isn’t difficult- it’s on a very busy street around 5 minutes away from the MTR and adjacent to a 7-11 store.
^The unassuming, simply decorated storefrontWalking into the store, you’ll be greeted by the fragrant waft of baked goods streaming from the kitchen at the back. After a few minutes of contemplation I decided to choose a chocolate walnut tart as well as a box of ABC Bakery’s famous nougats. The treats were very well-priced- perfect for a pick-me-up in the middle of the day.
The chocolate walnut tart was light and crumbly, with a buttery outer crust and a flavourful inner centre which was reminiscent to that of a very fluffy brownie with a hint of walnut.
The nougats didn’t disappoint- wrapped in edible rice paper, I felt like I was eating mini snicker bars without chocolate (and I guess without the guilt as well!) The nougats were soft yet chewy but not overly sweet, which complemented the brittle texture of the nuts.All in all, ABC Bakery is definitely a stop to make if you’re feeling peckish at any time of the day, with cheap, comforting and sweet treats.
