Breakfast at Bakehouse: A Perfect Morning in Wan Chai flagship store

Bakehouse

14 Tai Wong St E, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

Bakehouse is one of Hong Kong’s most talked-about bakeries, and after visiting, I can see why. Founded by Swiss pastry chef Grégoire Michaud, it’s all about artisanal sourdough breads, buttery pastries, and that cult-favorite sourdough egg tart everyone raves about.

Wan Chai is one of the few outlets in Hong Kong that offers in-house dining, and we were lucky—no queue for us, and we were promptly ushered in. The cozy, rustic vibe makes it a great spot for a relaxed breakfast.

The Famous Sourdough Egg Tart

Bakehouse is known for its Portuguese-style egg tart made with sourdough crust. The custard is sweet and soft, while the crust is crisp and flaky—a delightful twist on the classic Hong Kong egg tart. It’s so good that we couldn’t resist buying it again whenever we spotted a Bakehouse outlet—whether in Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui. That’s how addictive these tarts are!

What We Ordered

Salmon & Crab Royale
A luxurious plate featuring cured salmon, lump crab, hollandaise, ikura, all paired with a sourdough croissant. The salmon was cured differently from what I’m used to—very savory and delicious. However, I didn’t enjoy the lump crab meat as much. While the portion was generous, it didn’t add much to the overall flavor profile.

Brioche French Toast
Served with cinnamon sugar, berries, yuzu cream, and pistachio maple syrup. The brioche was soft, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced. The standout? The yuzu cream—it melts like butter yet bursts with a strong lemony flavor. Absolutely impressive.
Coffee
Smooth and easy to drink—a great complement to the meal.

My Take

Bakehouse delivers on its reputation for quality and creativity. The egg tart is a must-try, and the French toast was a highlight thanks to that incredible yuzu cream.

Why It’s Worth It

If you’re looking for a breakfast spot that combines European technique with Hong Kong flair, Bakehouse is the place. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and no queue (if you’re lucky!) make it a perfect start to the day.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Aqua Hair Korean Salon (Review) - C Perm Yay or Neh?

Its been a while since i blogged about something related to beauty. I've been rather constant with my hair stylist as i've become less adventurous with age. I did switch hair salons to seek a change in my looks but have failed miserably to look super stylo. Moroever, in so far no one has beaten the power hair massage of my current hair stylist. I am getting quite bored with my constant similar look and i've been googling on korean hair salons for a while. One salon caught my eye in terms of their pricing and reviews (not much to begin with). This suits me as bloggers may skewed their reviews and other popular korean hair salons charge exorbitant rates. I made a last minute appointment on a weekday and was on my way to a new hair change. I was pretty surprised upon arrival as i was expecting it to be rather quiet. The stylist assigned to be is handling like 3 customers at the same time though each seemed to be in various stages of completion. Though my appointment is a...
