Kee Wah Bakery
From its inception in 1938, Kee Wah Bakery has firmly established itself as one of Hong Kong's most revered traditional bakeries. The brainchild of Mr. Wong Yip Wing, Kee Wah started as a small grocery store in Yau Ma Tei. However, its commitment to quality and authenticity saw the brand transitioning into a beloved bakery specializing in Chinese pastries, especially mooncakes. Today, with branches spread across the globe, from the US to Taiwan, Kee Wah Bakery's prominence has only amplified, embodying the essence of Hong Kong's culinary traditions.
A standout in Kee Wah's extensive mooncake collection is the "Supreme Mixed Nuts Mooncake". This mooncake offers a delightful medley of almonds, walnuts, peanuts, sesame, and guava, complemented by a hint of spiced rum. It's a symphony of textures and flavors, with the crunch of nuts harmonizing beautifully with the soft and flavorful paste. The mooncake is encased in a thin, golden-brown crust, adorned with the bakery's iconic imprints, making it both a treat for the palate and the eyes. Kee Wah Bakery's insistence on using time-honored recipes ensures that the mooncake's taste is reminiscent of traditional Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations.
Kee Wah Bakery's reputation as a leading mooncake producer stems from its uncompromising commitment to quality and tradition. The process begins with the finest flour chosen for the outer crust, promising a rich and textured experience. While Kee Wah stays true to traditional handcrafting methods for certain mooncake variants, it doesn't shy away from employing modern machinery to guarantee consistency in weight and shape.
The brand's stringent quality checks, especially for its legendary fillings like red bean or lotus seed paste, ensure only the purest ingredients make the cut. Emphasizing locally sourced ingredients, Kee Wah supports regional producers and ensures unparalleled freshness. The entire crafting process is carried out under optimized conditions, and each mooncake undergoes a final inspection to guarantee it meets Kee Wah Bakery's esteemed standards.
