Welcome to Mong Kok—Hong Kong’s beating heart, where skyscrapers flirt with street stalls, and the air smells like soy sauce, ambition, and… butter? Yep, we’re here to talk about the real MVP of this neighborhood: the humble egg tart. Move over, fancy desserts—this is where magic happens!

Meet Mong Kok’s golden treasure: part crispy cloud, part silky custard, 100% irresistible. These tarts aren’t just a snack—they’re a mood. Breakfast? Sure. Midday pick-me-up? Obviously. Midnight craving? Don’t fight it.

Now, here’s the secret: the best tarts aren’t in fancy cafes. Nah, they’re hiding in spots like Mr. Leung’s 30-year-old stall. Follow the line—or just your nose. Pro tip: If the queue’s longer than your patience, it’s worth it.

We’ve been in business since 1995, and it’s been 30 years now. We open at 6:30 AM, and customers often line up early to buy our tarts. On busy days, we can sell three or four trays.

Let’s break it down: That crust? So flaky, you’ll need a napkin… and maybe a vacuum. The filling? Like someone turned sunshine into custard. Pair it with Hong Kong’s signature milk tea—cha chaan teng style—and boom, you’ve unlocked nirvana.

But here’s the kicker: These tarts aren’t just tasty—they’re time machines. One bite, and you’re tasting 30 years of family recipes, midnight bakery runs, and Hong Kong’s hustle-and-heart. It’s nostalgia… with a side of crumbs.  

So next time you’re in Hong Kong, skip the guidebook. Follow the buttery trail. Whether you’re here for the dim sum, the markets, or just to wander—save room for Mong Kok’s egg tarts. Trust us, your taste buds will write you a thank-you note. Go on, take a bite. Hong Kong’s waiting.
