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...

Wedding solemnisation at Chijmes - Review

Having a romantic church wedding is the dream of every girl, myself included. But unless you're a christian, its almost impossible to hold your wedding solemnisation at a church. In japan, the church wedding concept is very prevalent and it comes at a price. One such place is Hotel Monterey Kyoto with a "church" extension that can fulfill a bride-to-be dream church wedding. So if we love to hold a wedding at a chapel in Singapore, Chijmes is the place to go. Chijmes is a beautifully structure historic building complex in Singapore that has been gazetted as a national monumnet. It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) and their convent quarters known as Caldwell House. It has been restored for commercial purposes, such as shopping, dining and an entertainment centre. Here is the views of the former church decorated as a solemnisation venue. For solemnisation, the 2 aisles will serve as the d...
