Hang Heung Cake Shop

This renowned Hong Kong bakery has several branches around Hong Kong, but Yuen Long is its home — the bright and bustling scarlet-hued shop still occupies the original early 20th-century building in which it was founded. Specialising in traditional Chinese pastries, it’s the go-to for traditional wife cake (a flaky pastry filled with winter melon and almond paste), autumnal mooncakes, honeycomb egg rolls and other sinfully good treats. Buy to eat on the go or take home as edible souvenirs.
