Amid recent high-profile closures of several HK food institutions, reports that Danish Bakery had been sold to new owners caused a sudden spike of customers to visit the store in March earlier this year.
Such a reaction turned out to be premature however, as the owners of the shop (a couple who have run this place for over 40 years) confirmed that their lease was still current for 3 years. Nonetheless, property experts are expecting the current monthly rent of HK$52,000 to triple (!!!) to reflect current market value.
Despite its name, this little corner shop is actually well-known for its fried chicken legs and burgers. I used to work nearby and bought my hot milk tea and fresh pineapple bun from this shop everyday. For their frying, I am convinced they are using the same vat of oil that they have used for the last 40 years. Some people say it's too greasy but I say it just adds to the flavour!
We stopped off here recently for a fish burger and a pork chop burger on our way to the Lions vs Barbarians rugby match. Together the 2 burgers cost in total around $30. Now imagine how many of these they have to sell per month just to cover their rent ...
