I was notified of this through the Welcome to Chinatown charity email newsletter. Here’s an article I found going more in depth:

It’s honestly a shame, because they’ve been around since 1961. And they have some of the best BBQ pork buns in Chinatown imo. But if you get the chance, please give them a visit! (cash only)

Damn going to miss them!
I went there today and there was a customer asking the person behind the counter how they get this specific pastry so soft. But she wasn’t giving up any info. The customer made it for her elderly mother but it’s never as good as the bakery. The staff only said, I’ll tell owner and we make school.

I was here with my dad a couple months ago when I did my Chinatown egg tart crawl and he told me they’re the go to spot for wife cakes for decades. I didn’t get one then, but I’ll stop by for one now.
Would it be possible to buy a few treats from here and then freeze them for a few months?
Besides their BBQ pork buns what else are their standouts?
RIP Hop Shing. They made my favorite cocktail bun, white char siu bao and dai bao. Sad these HK bakeries will disappear one by one when the old generation retire.
They are still making tons of mooncakes and pastry cake, probably to use up the last bit of flour and sugar. But the other selections are either ‘extinct’ or very Very limited. They’ve stopped making egg tarts and my fav shortbread. I was tellling the lady damn now I gotta bake it myself and she’s like yea.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Their hopia is so perfect. Where can I get this now can someone tell me 😫
