Kam Fung Restaurant

Kam Fung Restaurant is a local institution known for its excellent milk tea, egg tarts, baked chicken pies, and Bo Lo Bao.

The baked chicken pies, in particular, are phenomenal. The crust is super buttery and it simply melts in the mouth. It is to-die-for. Go there early and get it fresh out from the oven.
