Beans Bakery Café Park Central (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

I left the gang behind and started my journey around the labyrinth of connecting malls in TKO following our quick lunch. My mission, to find the afternoon snacks necessary to get me through the afternoon; and it didn't take long for me to fulfill my quest.

Bean Bakery Café Park Central was just a comfortable 30 to 40 metre walk from where little nugget was having his afternoon snacks. I didn't even break a sweat walking over but soon I realized it was impossible for me to get myself a table here.

While contemplating my take-away options, I took a close look at these gorgeous Portuguese egg tarts from close range. 

Their doughnuts were also making a strong case as part of my afternoon tea lineup. 

Mochi Portuguese egg tart ($12) – I have to admit, these looked a lot like the sourdough egg tarts from my favorite bakery shop in town. Of course, I was referring to Bakehouse. As a matter of fact, the entire setup here was so reminiscent of Bakehouse.

There was the mochi in the middle. That was very clever. The sticky, chewy texture. Love it!

Custard doughnut ($22) – Calling all doughnut fans, we've finally found another bakery shop in town with super fluffy and delicious doughnuts. This was so spongy and I love the generous portion of vanilla custard cream in the middle.

TKO is a little far for me but with this impressive lineup of baked goods around, I'll try to make it work.
