While looking for the Lyndhurst Terrace (擺花街), an uncle pointed us to climb up this "hill"... OMG, lazy person like me really find this a big challenge!
There are a lot ramps like this around Central (中环) area, I'm pretty sure people that live and work here already get enough exercise everyday, no need to worry how many food you eat during lunch because you will need to walk back to office afterward.
Once you are at Lyndhurst Terrace, it's not hard to locate Tai Cheong Bakery. The brand has been around since 1954 and moved to this new address in 2005. Even until today, most of the biscuits are still handmade by the owner.
The signature item here is egg tart (HKD 4), the butter pastry type, so not the same as what we buy from Tong Kee. The last Hong Kong governor, Chris Patten is a great fan of egg tart selling here, he even become a friend of the owner and still keep in touch with him (seen this from one of Astro's documentary). Some claims that this is the best butter egg tart in Hong Kong, I cannot judge as I didn't try others in Hong Kong, but frankly, this hot popping piece of egg tart is really good (IMHO) and makes me recall scenes in Stephen Chow's movie 行運一條龍. Grab one if you are there!
Address:
35, Lyndhurst Terrace, Central

Just for tarts?
Interesting! I heard about this bakery so many times but never have the chance to really explore Central. I just love visiting markets!
Hey, you're back! Waiting for more...
Damn... I missed it everytime I have been in HK... looks good. I love Soho area.. especially the boutiques.. AND the Food. Did you try the Lang Kwai Fook Hotel for drinks...? Nice views in a city of view.. and food OK. Also No 1 Peking place - Hutong?
Just found you site.. its yummy! Sitting here in London I miss the Far East!
Omgz.! The 'Tan-tart ' looks awesome! I guess the taste is much better than Malaysia one
wk : of course not, but because just after lunch, stomach can only fit another tart.
Precious Pea : prepare to walk (up and down hill) :-)
wmw : thanks! trying my best...
Mr Jones : from London to HK really quite far :p. didn't try the rest, hope i will visit HK again very soon.
JeromeFo : hmm.. if the butter type, yes, this is far better than local.
