Sift has long held the crown for making the “best cupcakes” in Hong Kong, but it seems like there’s a new contender in town. Recently opened on Gough Street is Kisses Cupcakes, backed by the folks behind Chikalicious, a small but popular dessert bar in New York City. Yup, Sift has got competition.

Price: ~30 HKD/coffee or tea, 30 HKD/cupcake

Sidewalk is a chic little cafe / shop that I stumbled upon while roaming around in the Noho area on a Sunday morning. I was originally looking for Lan Fong Yuen 蘭芳園’s milk tea and stir-fried instant noodles, but alas it wasn’t open. So how about a cup of coffee and some dainty little cupcakes instead? Why not.


At the waiter’s recommendation, I sampled a red velvet cupcake. Fluffy, with just the right amount of cream cheese frosting, the cupcake was a few delightful bites. Only when I paid did I find out that it costed me 30 HKD! I also later learned that these cupcakes are from Sift, and if you directly buy the cupcakes there, it would be 25 HKD a piece.
