Baked goods are extremely popular in Hong Kong and bakeries are widely available. On the whole, the bread here tends to be sweeter than that available in western bakeries but some savory types are available. The Chinese have a great fondness for white bread though nowadays whole wheat and multi-grain breads are also gaining favor amongst the populace. Elaborately decorated cakes are big business and are frequently given as gifts.
The majority of the supermarkets in Hong Kong stock fresh bread on a daily basis though various kinds of breads and cakes can be found in the bakery shops on all busy streets or at the MTR stations.
