We used to go to different places to get lanterns, Mooncakes and fruits the weekend before the Mid-Autumn festival but for this year…. It is full of people every where 🙃🙃🙃 so I decided to stay at home… The number of people you see is beyond your imagination 🤓
Every year we go to Yuen Long for Mooncakes. There are a few traditional bakeries there - Hang Heung 恆香，Wing Wah 榮華. These two are our favourite.
Another one is Tai Tung Bakery 大同老餅家, a 70-year-old bakery.
In the 60s, bakeries built large signboards outside the shop to welcome Mid-Autumn festival. As time passes, Tai Tung Bakery becomes the only bakery that still decorates its store with handpaint signboard.
Mooncakes in Tai Tung are relatively more expensive than the other two big bakeries in Yuen Long.
Tai Tung bakery is one the very few restaurants that still offer Mooncake loyalty programme 供月餅會. Mid Autumn Festival is a very important festival for Hong Kong people in the past. People in the past can hardly afford to buy so many boxes of mooncakes for family and friends. So, they saved money one YEAR in advance! Cake shops introduced 月餅會 Mooncake loyalty programme that people paid the cake shop every month and their loyalty booklet will be stamped. To encourage you to join the loyalty programme, the cake shop will give you boxes of tea or dried sausages during lunar New Year.
Address: 57 Fau Tsoi Street, Yuen Long 元朗阜財街57號
