A Central bakery open since 1954, known for Hong Kong-style egg tarts: a short, cookie-like crust around a smooth, wobbly yellow custard. The last governor, Chris Patten, was reportedly a fan, which earned them the nickname 'Fat Patten tarts'. It sits beside the Mid-Levels Escalator, so grab one and keep wandering SoHo.
