The best part of traveling is the experience itself. But if you’re not the one boarding a plane, getting pasalubong from your friends or family heading out of town is the next best thing.
For those in the know, a trip to Hong Kong is only ever complete with hand-carried treats from Kee Wah Bakery. Started as a family business on Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei, the bakery’s premium pastries have been putting smiles on people’s faces for over 80 years. It’s no wonder the company has lasted this long: One bite into any of its signature products and you’ll understand that Kee Wah Bakery is all about taste and quality.
While the brand has since grown into a global enterprise, with branches in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taipei, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, its products have never been available in the Philippines—until now.
