One of the many cha chan tengs/ quick service restaurants on the Hennesy Road strip in Wanchai, I stopped by to try their long-standing mini bakery display counter and tried out 2 items out of curiosity:1. Triangle cake ($4)A triangle shaped (baked in a square pan, cut on the diagonal) sponge cake with a layer of cream spread in the middle.

1. Triangle cake ($4)
A triangle shaped (baked in a square pan, cut on the diagonal) sponge cake with a layer of cream spread in the middle. Sponge cake lacked had a dry body, almost like stale bread that collapses right when you bite into it. Perhaps they used too little eggs in the batter. The cream was the more enjoyable part, a bit like salted caramel in flavor and slightly rich body - not like whipped cream, more like the full-fat milk based cream in the cream buns with shredded coconut (nai yau bao) which they also sell. Will not buy this again.
2. Ham and egg bun ($3 or $5 I forgot)
Bun was a bit crusty on the outside, a bit hard on the bite. With a small (about 1'' square) piece of sliced (pre-packed) ham and a very dry and tough piece of square-shaped egg. Not good.
They sell their bread items and egg tarts for $3 each as a discounted price on tea times (I think 2.30-5.30) but judging from their already mediocre state when I bought them (around 11AM), I don't think they will be any better then.
There's Maxim's just a few shops down which is way more reliable than Wing Fat. If you have the time, there's always Happy Cake Shop which isn't too far, on Queen's Road East, past Gressen St, towards the Admiralty direction.
The staff may be polite but it doesn't change the quality of what I had.
