one of the must-visits upon returning to HK, bought:1. Brown sugar cake (unlike the ordinary white sugar cake, the 'brown-ness' of it is quite obviously artificial!) it was so greasy when i bought it, which grossed me out a bit. there is an apparent difference between white and brown sugar - white tastes more light and less overwhelming. the texture what you'd expect - spongy, but quite soft when you eat it right away. if not just keep it in the fridge and microwave it for about 10-20 seconds on

2. water chestnut pudding: really liked the crunchy water chestnut meat! pudding was refreshingly sweet, had a hint of lemon to it? enjoyed this the most
3. boot jai go (red bean, brown sugar): bought it for mom who said it was only so-so but didn't go into details. she says tai cheong is just not as good as it used to be.
4. pineapple bun: only $1 each with any purchase! bought 3. did not eat it right away; so maybe that's why the topping was not crispy as i'd like it. the flavor was good though - sweet throughout; the dough was very soft even after about 3 hours. the bun has that melt-in-your-mouth texture which many other bakeries fail to deliver = points to tai cheong! i think they use condensed milk in the batter.
5. egg rolls (original): they are tiny (finger-sized) but had a nice buttery and eggy flavor; the way it should be. will buy it again.
quite bored with their egg tarts, will try next time.
