自從知道古法烘焙荃灣店無再賣雞蛋仔,都少咗過嚟,不過,荃灣都喺常到嘅地方,所以,趁今日偶爾行過,就支持一下小店,買兩盒餅拎番公司請同事當下午茶。一櫃有好多唔同款式嘅特色餅食,因為之前都試過佢好多款產品,所以,揀啲未試過嘅,結果就買咗豆沙老婆餅同黑白芝麻酥兩款。其實,都仲想試番牛油楓葉批,記得好香好鬆脆,不過,原來已經無再做。豆沙老婆餅 $641盒10個獨立包裝(10 x 30g),乾淨衛生,翻轉盒盒底成份,主要喺以冬瓜蓉、紅豆、椰蓉嚟做,外皮都算鬆化,但未夠香,可能健康關係,落油都相對少;而豆沙餡佔成件餅大部份位置,無欺場,入口帶有幾濃郁嘅紅豆味,清香少甜,不過,質感上未夠軟綿,反而仲有少少乾身。黑白芝麻酥 $52同樣1盒10個獨立包裝(10 x 15g),不過,因為芝麻酥本身無餡料,所以輕身好多。襯番個名,個包裝盒以黑白炭紋襯托,寧捨型格。芝麻酥咬落非常鬆脆,亦喺少甜之作,雖然食到有芝麻香,如果再重手啲就更理想。今次再幫襯發覺又貴咗,物價真喺只有漲,間唔時一次買嚟請同事試吓,都OK啦!…查看更多
When we are looking for Phoenix Rolls, we would usually think of big commercial brands like Kee Wah Bakery in Hong Kong or Macau brands like Choi Heong Yuen or Koi Kei. Despite some local petite shops at places like Lee Yuen Moon, there is also another local brand called Gu Fah Bakery. Gu Fah bakery offers a great range of Chinese Bakery that are made in Hong Kong which are perfect for gifts or as souvenir to family and friends.I went today under their invitation to try out their products. Located at the City Walk in Tsuen Wan, the mall is 10 minutes walk from the MTR, pretty inconvenient. The shop has a classy Chinese setup with deep brown wooden shelves for products display. There is also a small stand at the door front for distributing products for tasting.Gu Fah Bakery is also famous for their egg pancakes, unfortunately their previous baking chef left and his position is yet to be replaced. No luck in trying their egg pancakes So I went to discover their other bakery products instead and brought some home to share with my family.I got an assorted tin with Almond Pies, White Sesame Pies, Black Sesame Pies and Roast Pork Pies.White Sesame Pie - A similar construction as the almond pie, the top layer of almond is replaced by a spread of white sesame. Same as the almond pie, the sugar coating is too sweet for me but the sesame taste is strong. The pie is flakey but not crispy enough.Black Sesame Pie - Same comments as the white sesame pie, strong sesame taste, overly sweet and lack of crispiness.Roast Pork Pie - The Roast Pork Pie is the only salty product I got from Gu Fah Bakery. The pie is very buttery with Shredded minced pork taste within the pie.Almond Pie - The beautiful almond pie is made with 7 layers of Mille feuille topped with a layer of sugar coating and few pieces of almond. The almond taste was mild. The sugar coating is too sweet for my liking. The pie is soft and not crispy enough.Black and White Sesame CakeThe Black and White Sesame Cake is a buttery cookie with strong roasted sesame taste. Really yum!Phoenix Rolls - Coconut ShredThe Phoenix roll has a mild buttery and eggy taste when compare to other brands. It is pretty flakey and crispy in texture. The coconut shreds are pretty thick and rough in texture but the coconut taste is strong and nice.Wife CakesThe Wife Cake tastes very different from another other Wife Cake that I had before. It lacks of the typical chewiness and is not sweet at all. It has a strong taste of Winter Melon and a mild taste of coconut. Perhaps it is the style from Gu Fah Bakery, but I do not like it.Almond cakeThe Almond Cake was very yummy with a fluffy and light texture and a strong almond taste!It is great to see a local bakery offering Chinese traditional food, it must be difficult to compete with big brands. I personally reckon there are much rooms for Gu Fah Bakery to improve. I would only recommend the Roast Pork Pie, the Black and White Sesame Cake and Almond Cake for now.…查看更多
