[2025 Hong Kong Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kam Wah Cafe (Updated Jul)

Kam Wah Cafe is located at 45-47 Bute Street, Mongkok, and is open daily from 0630-2100. It is around 4 minutes 300 meters from both Mong Kok and Prince Edward Mrt station. Kam Wah Cafe can be easily spotted due to the crowds outside the restaurant taking away the delicious Polo Bun and other pastries. The Polo Bun here is crispy, best to go with a hot milk tea. They also serve main dishes like stir fried beef rice noodle, yangzhou fried rice and many more.

Jin Wah Ice Cream Parlor (Prince Edward) G/F, 47 Prince Edward Street This Jin Wah Ice Cream Parlor is located near Prince Edward Station and Goldfish Street It can be said that there will always be people queuing at the door for a long time And the people in line didn’t want to wait to get into their seats Instead, they were mostly at the door choosing what bread to buy to take away The most famous thing here is pineapple buns and pineapple butter The local chicken tail bun egg tart is also very popular, since it is freshly baked After eating the pineapple butter here, I can't go back Because it slices fresh butter, it has a very unique lemon fresh scent It's sublimating the whole thing that I can't eat anywhere else His pineapple buns don't have to be freshly baked to be good Because even if it wasn’t hot, its pineapple skin was just as crispy And I think the butter melts if the bun is too hot Instead, it feels very greasy, and lost the feeling of eating pineapple butter ice fire The portion of his pineapple bun is so big that you won't feel like a breeze Quite soft and airy, the mouthfeel is incredible when you bite into it  #HongKongGood Places #HongKongFood #hkfoodie #pineapplebutter

Kam Wah Café is one of the oldest traditional coffeeshops in Hong Kong, famous among both locals and tourists. It is well known for its freshly baked Polo (Pineapple) Bun. The skin was super crispy, tasted heavenly with the cold butter inside. You can see people buy in bulk. It was named Pineapple Bun because of its look, there was no pineapple inside. For drinks, it is a must to try their Yuan Yang (coffee mixed with tea), smooth and full of aroma. Perfect match with the bun. Their egg tart is very tasty too. The price is reasonable. Highly recommended. Address: Level 47, Prince Bow Street, Kowloon Opening Hours: 06:30-23:00 all year round Ambiance/Facilities: 8/10 Highlights: HK Polo Bun, Milk Tea, Toast, Egg Tart, Yuan Yang (Coffee + Tea) Rating: 4/5

As the traditional bread of Chinese people, I went along with my boss all the way from Tsuen Wan towards Prince Edward to visit the famous Pineapple Bun with butter... whew! feels like you ate a meal of lunch in a heav y piece...shhhhh..also with milk tea 😋😋😋😋

Transportation strategy: MTR Mong Kok-Sham Shui Po stations Must-eat food: #Kim Wah Ice Hall Shopping guide: #Ladies' Street #Sneakers Street #Goldfish Street #Nathan Road #Langham Place 💞Recommendation reason: I've watched too many Hong Kong movies about Young and Dangerous before If you go to Mong Kok, you should go to Portland Street to find Thirteen Sisters I want to ask if Hao Nan in Causeway Bay is just as handsome! Mong Kok Located in Kowloon It is an area with a very high population density in Hong Kong There are so many people that even breathing feels crowded Buildings are a mixture of old and new From time to time, you can see news reports about which old building has fallen rocks or something~ Is it playing Mario Adventure? ! Rush hour traffic is crowded and slow This is a torture for Hong Kong bus drivers Because they are so cool They all step on the accelerator as if it were the brake! So crazy! When the green light comes on It feels like watching an F1 race car There are many kinds of street markets here Well-known ones~ There is a women's street selling all kinds of groceries (I used to love shopping there, but now I'm grown up. I don't need too many beautiful wastes...) There is a sneaker street with sports shoes from major sports brands (The goods here are very new and complete, and there are many specialty stores, but you really need to compare prices to avoid being cheated!) There is a goldfish street where all kinds of aquatic animals are sold in bags (The weather is very hot! Will those bags of water really not get hot?) There are many street markets~you can find everything you need to eat and use (should​​)! I also accidentally ate Jinhua Bingtang pineapple bun (I just thought it was delicious when I passed by~) Hot bread with a piece of butter~ Standing on the roadside to eat and looking at the crowded streets of Mong Kok is a unique flavor! I later went home and found out that it was the so-called No. 1 pineapple bun in Hong Kong! Damn~I should have taken a few more bites! On Nathan Road, there is a whole row of Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Luk Fook Jewellery, Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Longines, either the main store or the flagship store. The air-conditioning at the entrance is so cold. For now, I can just use my eyes and skin to feel the power of money. Langham Place, a shopping mall that will appear in all travel notes, has the longest indoor escalator in Hong Kong. The interior decoration is full of design. The spiral walkway design of the mall. You have to go around in circles. Don't miss any store. It's really smart! Before the planning of Langham Place, it was a well-known red-light district with nightclubs, karaoke massage shops, and pornography industries. It was a relatively complex area in Hong Kong. Now the Mong Kok has lost its sense of feasting and revelry. Instead, it is more of a city life and shopping atmosphere! This is a bustling street market maze. It is famous for its dazzling shopping. If you want to experience Hong Kong full of city life, Mong Kok is the first choice! #Hong Kong #Mong Kok #citywalk #Women's Street #Sneakers Street #Goldfish Street #Nathan Road #Langham Place #Kum Wah Ice Hall

#5月好去地方2025 Address: G/F, 47 Bute Street, Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong (Kim Wah Bing Teng) ⸻ Atmosphere/Facilities: Kim Wah Bing Teng is located on the bustling streets of Mong Kok. Its exterior is a very classic old-fashioned tea restaurant style. The entrance is often crowded with people and is very lively. The interior space is not spacious, but it is full of Hong Kong flavor - red brick floors, white tile walls, simple tables and chairs, and neon signs, from vision to smell, it is filled with retro style. The seats are mainly small round tables, and sometimes you need to sit at the same table with strangers, but it is this "stage culture" that makes people feel the most authentic Hong Kong human touch. ⸻ Features: • Signature freshly baked pineapple buns are crispy and soft, and the cream is super healing • Freshly made egg tarts are crispy, fragrant and smooth, and are limited in supply every day. You can't get them if you come late • Traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea, hot lemonade, baked pork chop rice and other classic tea restaurant dishes are all available • It is extremely popular and is loved by locals and tourists • Close to the subway station, convenient transportation, a good place to go shopping and rest ⸻ Price per person: About HK$40-60 (about NT$160-240) ⸻ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) ⸻ After-dinner experience: 🍴 Walking into Jinhua Bingtang is like traveling through time and space back to the movie scenes of Hong Kong in the 1980s. There is no gorgeous decoration here, nor is there any Internet beauty-style furnishings, but the street spirit belonging to "old Hong Kong" has deeply attracted me. The purpose of coming here is very clear - just for the legendary No. 1 pineapple bun in Hong Kong! There was a long queue in front of the store since the morning. Some people came to report before work, and some were travelers dragging their luggage to make a pilgrimage. I waited for about 15 minutes to be seated. The waiter acted quickly. Not long after I ordered the meal, the hot pineapple bun was served. When I took the first bite, I was really moved to tears. The outer layer of the pineapple skin was slightly burnt and crispy, and the inner bread was soft and elastic. The most amazing thing was the thick piece of ice butter in the middle - as the heat of the bread melted slightly, the overall taste was smooth and fragrant, sweet and salty, and the layers were distinct. Not all pineapple buns are worthy of being described as "dream", but this one in Jinhua is definitely qualified. In addition to the pineapple bun, I also ordered an egg tart and a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea. The egg tart is limited to daily production, the crust is crispy but not broken, the egg batter has a tender taste, not too sweet, and the rich milk flavor is perfect. And that cup of milk tea - with a thick tea flavor and rich milk flavor but not greasy, it will not lose its flavor due to the small amount of sugar, nor will it be too sweet, which is the best example of Hong Kong-style milk tea in my mind. The atmosphere in the store is very interesting. Many locals start ordering as soon as they sit down. They speak loudly and directly, but they don’t make people feel stressed at all. Instead, they feel a down-to-earth sense of life. The waiters wear aprons and speak in a sharp tone. They shout and serve food. The efficiency and rhythm make people feel like they are part of this Hong Kong-style life drama. Although the space in the store is limited and customers come and go in a hurry, it is such a fast and real dining experience that makes people deeply feel the essence of Hong Kong tea restaurants. This is not a place that emphasizes comfort or refinement, but emphasizes speed, deliciousness and temperature. Sitting in such a place and eating a simple breakfast or afternoon tea will make people fall in love with the daily life and human touch of this city instantly. In summary, the charm of Jinhua Ice Hall is not how luxurious it is, but in its **"unchanged" original flavor**. In the streets of Hong Kong where trends change rapidly, it is like a beacon, guarding those old tastes and authentic spirits. Whether you are visiting Hong Kong for the first time or returning many times, as long as you have tried their pineapple buns once, I guarantee that you will never forget it and want to come again! #Hong Kong #Mong Kok #Jinhua Bingtang #Tea Restaurant #Hong Kong Food Recommendation #Hong Kong Tea Restaurant Exploration #Pineapple Bun

#summervacay A Solo trip to Hong Kong. It is a wonderful place with good food that you are able to enjoy. First thought was about their bad attitude but so far so good. Not as bad as I been worrying about. Maybe it is at certain part of the city that still have such attitude. Hope to visit and explore more area next time again either solo or with friends tagging along to share the happiness.

Address - Kam Wah Cafe (Prince Edward) Shop G, 47 Bute Street, Prince Edward Features - Hong Kong-style Tea Restaurant and Ice Room Average Price - $51-100 Rating - The crispy egg tart is incredibly delicious, freshly baked and served hot, absolutely delightful 😋. The tart crust is flaky, and the egg filling is aromatic and smooth. Pair it with a cup of milk tea, and it's a perfect match. The French toast is also amazing, with a peanut butter filling. The beef and egg sandwich is generously filled, thick, and satisfying with every bite 😌.

Address - Kin Wah Ice Room (Prince Edward) Shop G, 47 Bute Street, Prince Edward Features - Hong Kong-style tea restaurant and ice room Average Price - Below $50 Rating - The food overall is quite tasty but not particularly surprising. The seating in the restaurant is relatively cramped, and it gets very crowded during lunch hours, making it less comfortable. The French toast is beautifully fried, very crispy, with peanut butter filling that is fragrant and delicious. The minced beef rice with egg is served in a large portion, but the egg is very small, suspected to be quail egg. The rice overall is not special, with too much sauce that makes the rice overly wet when mixed together. Very filling 🫢

Ma Sha Allah beautiful

We sat in a cramped local coffee shop, eager to try the famous polo bun with butter, French toast, and egg tart. The polo bun was crispy and buttery, the French toast perfectly golden, and the egg tart’s flaky crust and creamy filling were irresistible. Every bite was a delight, showcasing classic Hong Kong flavors. With limited space and a growing queue outside, we had to eat quickly. Despite the rush, the food was so good that it was well worth the fast-paced dining experience, giving us a true taste of Hong Kong’s café culture. #discoverchina #travel #couplestrip #hongkong

【Features】 1. Hidden in the alleys, no need to queue if you are lucky 2. Although it is urgent, the service attitude is very good 3. The food is quite delicious🤩 【Recommendation Index】 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑4/5 【True Evaluation】 This is my first meal in Hong Kong, and I happened to share a table with a regular customer. Seeing that we didn't know what to order, he enthusiastically recommended these two to us. I didn't have high expectations at first, but when the food was served, my expectations were instantly raised. The pineapple buns were baked to a crispy texture, and the French toast was also just the right amount of crispy.

Location: Jinhua Ice Hall Address: 45-47 Bute Street, Prince Edward, Hong Kong (4 minutes walk from Exit B2 of Prince Edward MTR Station Business hours: 06:30-21:00 (Monday to Sunday) After eating some snacks, I stopped by to take out pineapple buns. There was no one queuing. The crust was crispy and paired with thick cream, the flavor was excellent 👍

How can you come to Hong Kong and not experience the most authentic ice hall? We chose to visit Jinhua Ice Hall located at Prince Edward Station. As soon as we entered the store, we were attracted by the award-winning poster 🏆 French toast. Of course, we ordered one right away, and also ordered a pineapple bun, and a cup of hot Hong Kong milk per person as a minimum consumption in the store. The slightly warm pineapple bread crust just out of the oven exudes a creamy aroma, the bread itself is soft and crispy on the surface, and the heat melts the thick slice of icy salted butter in the middle, it's super delicious😋. French toast is made of toast dipped in egg liquid and fried, with butter and peanut butter in the middle, topped with cream and drizzled with honey. You can smell the aroma of egg and frying when you bite it. The heat is just right with the honey, cream and peanut butter, creating an unforgettable taste. The Hong Kong milk has a stronger tea flavor. I like to add a little bit of sugar, which makes it less astringent for me. However, it is quite refreshing when paired with pineapple buns and French toast. In the slightly cool weather, it is quite a blessing to start the day with high-calorie food! #HongKong #HongKongFood #HongKongTravel #hong_kong #GoodDestinations2025 in February

I love to set off to Hong Kong at ease, whether it is pineapple buns for breakfast, my favorite Jinhua Ice Hall, or the intersection of the street corner, it is a beautiful scenery

I love their pineapple buns! They are the best! The best pineapple buns in my heart, no exaggeration. Kam Wah Cafe, a tea restaurant in Mong Kok that has been open for more than 50 years, serves delicious pineapple buns! I don't know why so many people say they are not good, I just want to say that you are not used to it! 🍍Pineapple Bun This is my favorite place to go since I was a child, especially for the pineapple buns! The pineapple buns are super fresh, and the crust is very fragrant, with a piece of Anchor butter, it is really delicious! 🍛Curry Chicken Chop with Instant Noodles The taste is relatively strong, the curry is salty and slightly spicy, the chicken chop is very large, and the meat is tender. With a large slice of cheese, it is really satisfying. 🐷Secret Pork Soft Bone Rice The portion is very large, and the cost performance is very high! There are many pieces of pork soft bone, the pork is very soft and tender, the meat is very tasty and not very salty, and the pork soft bone is very crispy. This is good. 🎫Only accepts Hong Kong dollar cash or Octopus card 🏠: Kam Wah Cafe 📝Ps, if you go too late, the pineapple buns will be sold out soon. So the pineapple buns are very fresh, and the pineapple buns will be even better! ✅In addition, many people now say that the Kam Wah Cafe with a big red sign and a bigger golden door is fake, please don't come out and expose it, they are two shops, but the font is not the same as before.

📍Kam Wah Cafe Speaking of Hong Kong,...! Pineapple bread, famous as Hong Kong-style melon bread🍍🥐 This shop is very popular as a famous pineapple bread shop! We arrived after walking while enjoying the Hong Kong-like cityscape. The pineapple bread at this shop in Mongkok is really delicious with a crispy and fluffy texture with plenty of butter inside! 🧈 It's my favorite thing I've eaten in Hong Kong💞 It's quite voluminous, so you might want to share it in half! I went there around 11am on a weekday and was able to buy it without lining up! I didn't have time so I got it to go, but there were many people enjoying it while drinking tea in the shop. Next time I'd like to enjoy it slowly with tea. French toast is also famous, so I'd like to try it! 🍞 It was a different taste from the pineapple bread I had at other stores♥ It's also very accessible, so please come and visit us sometime~✨️ ----------------- 📮45-47 Bute St, Mong Kok, A 💰From 800 yen ----------------- #0 yen trip November

Instant noodles, pineapple and egg tarts are all delicious, and the service is very good

#myhiddengems Kam Wah Cafe is a no-frills, old-school Hong Kong-style breakfast spot, or cha chaan teng, famous for its pineapple bun (ba lo bao). Since 1973, this institution in Hong Kong has been serving what some consider the best pineapple bun in Hong Kong. A pineapple bun should be hot outside but with cold butter inside. (To be clear, it’s a sweet bun with no pineapples in the bun!!)The bun is freshly made. Pair it with HK milk tea, and you will have the most typical HK breakfast 😋 I also ordered the fried instant noodles that came in big size and delicious! #hongkongtravelguide #hongkong #deliciousfood

Once yesterday, once today, traveled back and forth between Admiralty, Wong Chuk Hang, Kim Yip Road, Yue Kwong Road, then walked from Prince Edward Station to Mong Kok East, Prince Edward Road, Sai Yee Street, then to Bute Street, Kam Wah Ice House... It was just that the interior of the Yuen Long Ice House that the two of us missed was under maintenance, so we couldn't eat there, so we checked in at the popular Kam Wah Ice House nearby! Finally I got to eat the company's sandwich toasted bottom, and the most popular pineapple buns - Hong Kong people call them pineapple buns, although they were not hot out of the oven, I licked them on the tip of my tongue, yes! It is the taste that I have been dreaming about for four years... Delicious!
