Do you miss Hong Kong and its fabulous eats? I remember one of particularly mouthwatering video my friend Wilsurn shared in a groupchat of him and his companion scarfing down all the iconic foods on a weekend makan trip to Hong Kong, just before the Covid travel restrictions hit. Man...the things we take for granted and think we'll be able to do just anytime? Not so easy now. They've just announced a travel air bubble between SG and HK but no dates yet for when this will happen. But thankfully, sometimes when we can't go to the mountain, the mountain can come to us.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is giving us “100
Reasons to Miss Hong Kong” by offering a variety of authentic Hong Kong
food experiences to enjoy.
From 12 October 2020 to 15 November 2020, HKTB has lined up eight world-famous Hong Kong food brands in Singapore to provide exclusive promotions and offers to local travellers who miss Hong Kong’s food. Participating brands include Jenny Bakery, Kam’s Roast, Mui Kee Congee, Social Place, as well as the newly opened Hang Heung and Joy Luck Teahouse (which houses Hoover Cake Shop, Kam Kee Café & Tak Hing Fishball Company).
Hang Heung -
A heritage of Hong Kong, since 1920s
(In Picture: Hang Heung Store in Hong Kong, Hang Heung’s Wife Cake)
Wife
Cakes, an edible souvenir that no traveler would leave Hong Kong without
bringing boxes of it home. There is no brand more famous than Hang Heung for
their Wife Cake, a Cantonese pastry made with a thin
crust and handmade winter melon paste filling. Established in 1920 as a
Chinese-style restaurant in Yuen Long, the 100-year old brand has endeavored to
produce this unique flaky pastry with a sweet gooey centre that has become a
heritage of Hong Kong.

Jenny Bakery
– The Butter Cookies Phenomenon
Another
must-buy from Hong Kong, Jenny Bakery’s melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies have
been a hot favorite amongst locals and tourists since it was first opened at
Stanley Market in 2005. Over 15 years, the Jenny Bakery butter cookies
phenomenon has seen endless queues at their two outlets in Hong Kong and
countless counterfeits on the streets. To counter this, Jenny Bakery changes
its iconic round can design almost every month. While you are unable to get
your first dips on the latest can design in Hong Kong now, you will be pleased

Joy Luck
Teahouse – A triple delight with Hoover Cake Shop, Kam Kee Cafe & Tak Hing
Fishball Company
(In Picture: Joy Luck Teahouse Signature Items)
You should have already heard of the opening of Joy Luck Teahouse, which houses 3 legendary Hong Kong food brands - Hoover Cake Shop, Kam Kee Cafe & Tai Hing Fishball Company.
Hoover Cake Shop, founded in 1975 at Kowloon City is an old-school bakery that has won the hearts of many Hong Kong celebrities, including veteran actor Chow Yun-Fat and Liza Wang Ming-Chuen. Thou famed for their buttery egg tarts, the original store in Hong Kong also sell a heart-shaped pandan chiffon cake, which they credit to Chow Yun-Fat whom brought the cake in from Singapore one day and asked them to “replicate it”.
You
cannot say you have been to Hong Kong if you have never dined in a cha chaan teng and Kam Kee Cafe, is a stalwart in Hong Kong’s cha chaan teng scene. Started in 1967 by “Grandpa Kam”, the humble
cafe has served out comfort food to the Shau Kei Wan neighborhood for more than
40 years before the shop was taken over by its current owners and shifted to its
current location at Sai Ying Pun. Kam Kee’s Hong Kong style-milk tea is said to
be one of the best in Hong Kong and a favorite of singer-actor Dicky Cheung.
Curry Yudan (Fishballs) is the quintessential Hong Kong street food that you simply must try when in Hong Kong. Tak Hing Fishball Company, located in Kowloon City started as a wholesaler for fresh fishballs, hand-beaten daily by Mr Lam Tak Hing, who has been making fishballs since he was 14 years old. Recognized by his strong arms and beard on his face, you may also spot his colourful portrait on their shop’s shutters, which was part of the Hong Kong Urban Canvas project, a community art project that showcased shutter artworks in six districts to celebrate community inclusion and highlights local culture.
While you may not be able to enjoy the full menu of treats from the 3 brands in Singapore, you can still comfort yourself with the signature offerings of Hoover’s egg tarts, Kam Kee’s pineapple buns and hong kong-style milk tea, Tai Hing’s curry fishballs as well as a variety of desserts and drinks that can usually be found in a Cha Chaan Teng.

Goose is one of the most famous Hong Kong dish in the world and the Yung Kee
Restaurant has to be the most internationally acclaimed restaurant since its

fun, cosy atmosphere. "A blast from the past with a tantalising taste of
modernity”, With four outlets in Hong Kong and one in Singapore, each outlet presents
a contemporary interior, with hints of old Hong Kong. Hong Kong & Singapore
outlets’ menu are slightly different – Hong Kong offers a signature Roasted

the Roasted Quail. Nevertheless, the crowd’s favorite dim sum items such as Truffle
Shitake Buns, Custard Charcoal Buns and Small Pig Puddings can still be enjoyed
