洪瑞珍香港 (English name: Hungruichen) is a very VERY famous bakery in Taiwan that sells a simple sandwich. But for some reason, that ham and cheese sandwich has a huge following. Tourists all the way from Japan to Korea flock to Taiwan to buy these sandwiches. And in Hong Kong, unofficial shops sold them as well until several had food poisining that had the government step in and forbid the sales of these in the city.On a trip to Taiwan a long time ago before the pandemic hit, boyfriend and I bought
On a trip to Taiwan a long time ago before the pandemic hit, boyfriend and I bought a couple of these sandwiches to see what the hype was all about. They were good. Soft and fluffy with their lovely secret spread. But was it the best sandwich in the world? Enough for tourists to buy cases of these home?
I don't know.
And then the official shop opened in Hong Kong. Not just one shop but several. Now they span in all areas of the cit and more to come! I passed by them several times but not really thinking to get one. I still didn't understand the hype.
Then I walked by the one in Tsuen Wan and saw this adorable little bag! It was so pretty and chic. No huge glaring logo. Just a sweet little sandwich. It was perfect for packing my lunch to work. To get this, just purchase anything and add $15 for it! The staff told me there was no minimum purchase. What a deal!
For that, I ordered one sandwich. Sandwiches cost about $27. They have the favorites from Taiwan along with a couple of Hong Kong exclusives. I decided on the Hong Kong exclusive: char siu and egg. Why? I love char siu! The staff suggested it be heated it as it tastes better so she did that for me.
It was packed in their signature packing that is quite easy to unwrap and allows you to hold the sandwich without dirtying your fingers.
Unwrapping it this is what it looked like! It was four slices of bread with two thin slices of egg and one thin spread of char siu in the middle. It didn't look like much but biting into it ... it was really good! The bread was soft and cloud like. The egg was a bit too thin so you really couldn't taste it. But it was spread with it's signature butter and secret mayo spread. And the char siu! So sweet and savory. The Hong Kong exclusive was pretty good!
Price wasn't expensive and sometimes they have a buy special deals. I might buy again as there is now one in Causeway Bay which is closer to me.
