Lily's Pastry - Homemade Cookies    麗姐私房曲奇  

I have been buying cookies from this shop for more than a year now.

I have tried most of their selection of cookies, but my favorite is the almond cookies. The texture of these cookies are crumbly and melt in the mouth. As salt is sprinkled over the top of the cookies, the taste is sweet with a touch of saltiness. It would be more perfect (and better suited for elderly people) if both the sugar and salt were slightly reduced. Nonetheless, these cookies are addictive - it is always difficult to stop at one helping. This range of cookies also comes in two other flavors - cashew nut and walnut. The cashew nut is also good as it has the rich flavor of the nut, but tends to be slightly sweeter than the almond cookies.

The cookies are packaged in a simple tin box that is quite air-tight to ensure freshness. They are sold in 2 sizes - small and big, the latter being better value for money. If you are not sure of what to do with the cookie tins after, you may return them to the shop for a rebate of $3 per tin to offset the cost of the next purchase.The staff at the shop are friendly and most, if not all the selection of cookies are available for sampling, so feel free to try the cookies before deciding on which to buy.
