Cookie Vission bakes cookies throughout the day at its Tai Hang shop in Hong Kong. Founded by Winnie Pang in 2020, it builds its range around generous cookies with crisp exteriors and soft centres.

Cookie Vission bakes New York-style cookies out of a small shop at 6 Wun Sha Street in Tai Hang, a residential neighborhood on Hong Kong Island -- the Central branch on Staunton Street trades under a related but distinct name, Vission Bakery, and adds donuts and kouign-amann to the same cookie line. Each cookie weighs a deliberate 150 grams, baked in batches through the day so the shop can promise a fresh one at any hour it's open. The menu mixes standing flavors with a rotating seasonal list: Nutella, s'mores, matcha chocolate, Portuguese egg tart, apple pie and blueberry cheesecake have all appeared, alongside a chocolate-heavy Epic Chocolate cookie that reviewers single out for its thick, gooey centre under a crackled shell -- the textural contrast, firm outside and soft inside, being the point of the New York style Cookie Vission works in. Bulk ordering is built into the shop's pricing, with automatic discounts kicking in at 50 and 100 pieces, suggesting a business that leans as heavily on party and gifting orders as on walk-in counter sales. It's a small, cash-free operation -- electronic payment only, limited seating -- built around one product done in variations rather than a broader bakery menu.

Kee Wah Bakery traces its founding to 1938, when Wong Yip Wing opened a small grocery store on Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon.

Kee Wah Bakery traces its founding to 1938, when Wong Yip Wing opened a small grocery store on Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. The bakery's own account of its origin, published on its site, is specific about how the business survived the Second World War: after the grocery closed, an employee began baking pastries in an improvised oven made from an old oil barrel, selling them to the boat-dwelling communities along the harbour. After the war, Kee Wah opened its first proper factory on Shanghai Street with ten staff and added mooncakes and Chinese bridal cakes to its offerings — the products that would come to define it.
The growth that followed is documented in concrete steps rather than vague claims of tradition: a second store on Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po in 1962, a switch from wood-fired to electric ovens in 1971, a first overseas bakery in Taipei in 1982, and a first American bakery in Los Angeles in 1984. Its current headquarters and primary production site is a factory in Tai Po that the company states is ISO 22000 and HACCP certified, a level of operational detail a purely nostalgic or defunct brand would not maintain.
Kee Wah remains a family-run business by its own description, and is distinct in kind from the egg-tart specialists already on record for Hong Kong: its identity rests on mooncakes, Chinese bridal cakes, and wider Cantonese pastry rather than a single item. Since 2010 it has held Caring Company status from the Hong Kong Council of Social Services for its community and charitable work, one more marker of a business still actively operating in the city whose baking history it represents.

Founding branch in Yuen Long, multiple HK locations
Wing Wah opened as a Yuen Long tea house and bakery in 1950, launching its defining white lotus seed paste mooncake in 1963 as the first to use vegetable oil instead of lard. It now runs 50-plus outlets making mooncakes, wedding cakes and preserved sausage.

Wing Wah opened in 1950 in a four-story building in Yuen Long that combined a bakery with a retail shop selling mooncakes, founded by Lau Pui Ling and a partner, with the business formally incorporated in 1962. Its defining product came the following year: in 1963 Wing Wah launched a white lotus seed paste mooncake made with vegetable oil rather than the lard traditionally used in Cantonese pastry, a formula credited as the first of its kind and one that much of the wider mooncake market later followed. The company has expanded from that single Yuen Long shop into more than 50 outlets across Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories, backed by its own manufacturing plant, and now sells beyond the original white lotus seed mooncake into icy and molten varieties, Chinese wedding cakes, preserved sausage, and a broader run of cakes, cookies and tea. Its own count puts its developed recipe library above 1,000, most still tied to a seasonal, small-batch production schedule built around festivals rather than year-round volume manufacturing. Wing Wah ships internationally, including to Macau, mainland China, Taiwan, the US, Australia and New Zealand, extending a Yuen Long tea house's reach well past Hong Kong.
