Ginger Bakery  

Having tried one of the best red velvet cakes at Hamming Bird Bakery in London, I’ve always been searching for an equivalently delicious substitute in Hong Kong. I was walking around in this neighborhood one Saturday night, and I noticed this bright bluish bakery from across the street. They have got a wide range of cake selections and the newly arrived red velvet cake immediately caught my sight. Without a second thought, I was carrying the thoughtfully wrapped sliced-cake home. The red velvet cake had the traditional look with white frosting on top and reddish sponge cake in the middle. However, the cake lacked flavors. I found the cream-cheese icing to be too subtle in flavors and the layer cakes was too dry to my liking – almost tasteless…. Perhaps the cake had been sat out for hours or it was simply a bad batch this time, but it’s definitely not the quality I expected for a HKD32 cake.

The red velvet cake was new so tried that, as well as that there was the rocky mountain pie which I would like to try as well but that looked solid and hard.

The cake tasted nice and the buttercream complemented it well, however the cake itself was too hard.
I would prefer it softer.

It is a cozy little cafe, that make you want to stop by for a break. Sky Blue colour decoration with a cute logo, I was thinking it is a cake shop without other food, but they have limited choices of sandwiches. For drinks, they have tea and coffee, but I don't want to waste my coffee quota, so I don't think I should try their coffee, I chose a bottle of blueberry sparking drink instead.

For the sandwich, I picked the chicken mushroom susage sandwich, the server is so nice to heat up the sandwich for me. When the sandwich arrived, I was surprised that I can only see pieces of susage and becon... where's my chicken and mushroom I asked the server if he made it wrong, he asked if I don't eat becon I was asking about to have a chicken mushroom susage sandwich!!! He told that susage is called "chicken mushroom susage". Oh, no, I was fool by the susage!!!Generally speaking, their food quality is ok, and the decoration and atmosphere is cozy, however I was totally fooled by the name of the susage, I hope they could put a clearer name and keep up the attentive services.

Haven’t been to Ginger bakery for ages, so decided to give it a visit.
Tried the hazelnut cake which had lots of whole hazelnuts.
As well as hazelnuts, it seemed to contain hazelnut essence in the cake mixture as well.
Overall it was quite nice, but I would have preferred the cake to be slightly softer.

Before this place opened, the shop was already attractive and stuck out from the street.
It had a nice ocean blue background with a simple white logo which represents a slice of cake, the top of the cake logo is actually a "G" for Ginger bakery.

As mentioned above, it was the worst cappuccino I have ever had in my life. The milk is so thick that i could not drink the coffee at the bottom. I guess their steamer is just couldnt pump in enough bubbles into the milk OR they have used the wrong kind of milk. So I speaked up n they offered me another cup. I appreciated the service, however, I will never be back.

I had lunch at Fook Lam Moon with my colleague and was heading back to the office when we passed this restaurant. Since I just read from a magazine that they serve a very good carrot cake and we were craving from some dessert, we went in to give it a try. There were 4 of us and we tried the Carrot Cake, Apple Crumble and Lemon Tart. I have not had Carrot Cake for a long time in HK because I have not tasted any good ones in HK so far. This one is an exception. It is moist, not too sweet or heavy and very fresh - I really like the walnuts inside, it goods really well together with the carrots - very yummy. Then we tried the Apple Crumble, something I always like. I like the fact that the filling inside is made from layers of apples - really good stuff - too bad they didn't have any ice cream to go with it, else it would be perfect. If you like someting light - the Lemon Tart is a pretty good choice. The staff and service is very friendly and place is quite comfortable. The coffee is pretty good as well, not as bland as the stuff at Starbucks. I will definitely go back to try their croissants, scones, pastries and muffins. The staff told me that is made fresh daily from the kitchen inside.

I was lookin for food after running some errands today at wanchai. While walking down johnson road, I first got attracted to the super sharp blue arch of this shop and then i got attracted to the cakes. I love cakes and so walkws in to have a try. A very friendly welcome from the pretty owner and was served with sincere attitude. not too pushy, which is good.

I ordered my favorite apple crumble and a cup of latte to stop my stomach growling. PRETTY GOOD stuff! I've tried many apple crumbles but this one is really awesome! The latte was ok. haha..

The apple crumble there started me to blogging on openrice. haha.. well, I'll definitely go back to try other cakes from this place.
