逛過新世紀廣場後，沿路走到旺角的花園街，記得這裏有間懷舊的中式糕點小食店，但花園街內排檔一個接一個，每條街道的樣子也很相似，真是考起了我這個路痴. . . 又時是時候打開openrice的地圖，尋找一下位置. . .其實這個功能對我來說真是非常有用. . .經常拿著「羅庾」似的，對準方向才往前走. . .After strolling around Grand Century Place, I came upon Garden street in Mongkok and remembered that was a bakery here designed in a traditional Hong Kong café motif. However since Garden’s street shops are in front of the eateries there, and I had no sense of direction, I had to use openrice’s map option to guide me around. Actually, I’ve used
After strolling around Grand Century Place, I came upon Garden street in Mongkok and remembered that was a bakery here designed in a traditional Hong Kong café motif. However since Garden’s street shops are in front of the eateries there, and I had no sense of direction, I had to use openrice’s map option to guide me around. Actually, I’ve used this option quite frequently to point me in the right direction…
終於找到了舊式老餅店-「奇趣餅家」了，懷舊的白底紅字招牌，店內設計簡單，牆身以白瓷磚砌成，上方以一支支長光管及從天花吊下的燈泡作照明工具，另外還有數把電風扇用作乘涼，還知到後方有大量用作盛載中式餅點的大竹盤，牆身買貼有少量報章雜誌的介紹Finally I was able to find the old traditional bakery I was looking for [kee tsui cake shop], with their distinctive red font on their outside sign display. Their simplistic interior design includes the old white long fluorescent lights on the ceiling with the hanging down light bulbs for lightening. Also, there are fans for cooling as well. The place had bamboo molds to make Chinese pastries and the walls were styled with magazines cutouts.
「奇趣餅家」最為人熟悉的應算是紅豆燒餅了，這裡的燒餅分成了兩款，有紅豆餡的$4/1個，$16/5；無餡的$3/1個;$12/5個，以上相片能清楚反映到其愛歡迎之程度，大約晚上6時多，不論是有餡還是沒有餡的，也只餘下4個，當時我也快快叫了每樣一件～！另外，還有大量其他唐餅：皮蛋酥、合桃酥、鮑魚酥、摩囉酥、老婆餅等；至於零食類就有蛋散、牛耳仔、雞仔餅及炒米餅等，款式繁多，加上價格亦非常化算呢，零食類以斤作單位，每斤$40;而唐餅類大部份$4蚊一個，4個以上還有折扣優惠～在旺角這個貴租的地段，加上其名氣，還會保持這個價格，真是難得kee tsui cake shop’s most well known eatery is the red bean pancake. You can either buy the pancake with the red bean paste filling for $4 each/$16 for 5, or the no filling ones for $3 each/$13 for 5. You can see the photo I have taken which one I prefer the most. Usually around 6pm, both types of pancake are only down to 4 pieces, which is why I hurryingly got one right away. As to other choices of pancake, there were [皮蛋酥、合桃酥、鮑魚酥、摩囉酥、老婆餅]; for the snacks, there were [蛋散、牛耳仔、雞仔餅及炒米餅], so quite a lot of variety and the price was very reasonable. For the pricing of the snacks, it was $40 per “catty” or about 600g for each serving. For the pancakes, most of it was $4 per piece, with discounts after the purchase of more than 4 pieces. To have these kind of prices in a high rent area such as Mongkok, not to mention the old cafe style atmosphere, this place is a rare gem in Hong Kong.
紅豆燒餅 （$4/個；$16/5個）拎上手已經感到非常軟身，圓形的燒餅，薄薄的糯米皮透出了棗紅色的豆沙色，皮上灑有適量的芝麻粒，增加其口感及味道，外皮兩邊經煎香，入口外皮帶點韌感，内裏雖然軟綿綿的但帶有強勁的彈性及韌力，餅身雖薄，但充滿著口感，而且帶著少許甜味，煙韌的糯米皮內，包裹著厚厚的豆沙，豆沙入口幼滑，甜度不高，與帶微甜的糯米皮互相配合下，不論口感及味道也配合得相當得宜，不過有點可惜的是由於太夜，燒餅已放涼了，有機會真想試試熱辣辣的，相信味道一定會更上一層樓
Red Bean Pancake（$4 each；$16 for 5）
When you lift this piece of pastry into your hands, the first feeling is its soft and roundness, with the thin layer of dried sticky rice coating hinting the red paste filling and the small amount of sesame seeds on top, this common masterpiece will melt in your mouth with it's traditional taste. Even though it's soft on the outside.
淨燒餅 （$3/個；$12/5個）就以往吃豆沙窩餅的經驗，經常也出現過甜的情況，所以經常劑出大量豆沙，只剩下少少在內作調味，為怕出現這個情況做成浪費，難得這裡特決了淨燒餅，所以就各要了一個一試了～淨燒餅的糯米皮味道大至與豆沙餡的相若，上方位置也是灑上了芝麻粒，但由於少了豆沙的香味，令芝麻味更為突出，表面兩邊也是經過煎香，帶點淡啡色，皮身綿軟煙韌，由於少了紅豆餡，變相糯米皮更加厚身，令彈性及韌力也相對增加，非常喜歡這個口感，另外，甜度亦非常適中，不會出現一般人對淨燒餅一定淡而無味的錯覺
Non-filling Pancakes ($3 each, $12 for 5)
From my experiences of eating the abovementioned red bean pancake, often it may get too sweet after them, so the non-filling pancakes was a good tasting on some traditional pancakes, I would recommend this for those who want to try something not so sweet. The non-filling pancakes has a quite a different taste than the red bean paste. There are still sesame coating on the pancake, but without the red bean paste filling, you get a more sesame taste.
摩囉酥 （$4/個；$13/4個）比一般看到的更圓，重重的質感，相當有份量，外皮烘至啡啡黃黃的，還有少許裂痕，就像小顆小菠蘿包，切開時皮身有十分鬆軟，有點位置散開了呢. . .內部是滿滿的冬瓜及椰絲蓉。焦黃色的外層帶點微脆，咬落口感轉為鬆軟，而大量的冬瓜蓉確實有點過甜. . .感覺較膩. . .而且吃落質感軟軟的，沒有煙韌的感覺，咬落吃得到椰絲的微粒，椰絲味頗重，即使與外皮同吃，也蓋不了椰絲味，由於本人不太喜歡椰絲味及太淋的質感，所以就不太喜歡這個了. . .
[Mo Lor Show] ($4 each, $13 for 4)
This type of Mo Lor Show is a bit rounder compare to the typical ones, so it feels you are getting more of pastry. The outer coating has a coffee coloured texture with small cracks, making it look like a similar pastry, the pineapple bun. When you rip open parts of this pastry, the coating will come off, and it's quite a soft taste. The inside of has a bit of green melon and coconut taste, with a bit of saltiness from it. When you enjoy this pastry, there is no hint of overcooking at all.
後記:不論是食店、餅店或其他真正懷舊、歷史悠久的店舖，已經越關越少，可能是由於不少舊店已經被遺忘，生意不佳，又加上租金的壓力下，維持不了。創業難、守業更難。所以在這繁華的都市，仍能保持價廉物美的舊店更是少之有少，望著漆黑的街道上，白髮蒼蒼的店員，不知是不是老闆,正在努力地工作，真的不知道經歷過多少個艱苦的年頭才能維持到現在，在這裡為每位正在努力工作的人士打打氣！
另外，謝謝朋友代為翻譯～希望其他國藉或遊客都認識到這些懷舊老店～
The fact is cafe, bakery or other traditional style eateries are decreasing over the years. I think it could be because these old shops are forgotten or business isn't going well, or the pressure of rent is simply makes them unsustainable. So that's why for these old food places, if you can find one, especially those that still has the traditional atmosphere and the aged workers, you ought to give these places since they're working so hard to keep up the tradition!
