Kowloon Bakery

Posted in London restaurants | 15 November 2005

Carrier bag from Kowloon Bakery, London. In front are two cakes from the bakery - A curry puff and a sesame ball filled with red bean paste.

Kowloon Bakery is one of my favourite places in London's chinatown but you won't find it in your fancy restaurant guides.

The front of the shop is loaded with shelves of Chinese pastries - everything from egg custard tarts to curry puffs, but you'll normally find me at the back where there are a handful of plastic tables. Sit down, eat what you want from the bakery and drink tea, coffee, or iced horlicks...

When I do this, I feel like I'm really in Chinatown, particularly when I hear the clack of mahjong tiles from the room next door.

Kowloon, 21-22 Gerrard Street, London. Tel: 020 7437 0148
