Ping On buns Bakery Kwok Kam Kee is the oldest supplier of Ping On buns, a symbol of peace and well being. Locals believe consuming or gifting these buns brings a bounty of good fortune,

health and protection.

Run by Martin Kwok, 45, the son of the bakery’s founder Kwok Kam Chuen, Martin had quit his finance job eight years ago to take over the business.

During the bun festival season, the bakery makes over 60,000 buns at its Cheung Chau shop. It still maintains the original recipe of the traditional handmade buns for this festival. Its best-selling flavour is sesame paste – the traditional bun recipe. Fluffy and sweet, the buns are made from rice flour and have other fillings such as lotus seed paste, red bean and black sesame. “For us, this bun festival is important, akin to a reunion of the Kwok family, where my sister, kids, mother, uncle and relatives help with the big demand during this festival. “Kwok Kwan Kee is an ‘unpolished diamond’. My father wanted to close it down back then. With my ability, vision and blueprint, I can polish it and make (the brand) more well known,” said Martin. Going forward, Martin aims to grow the brand to be more relevant, young and make it a household name via development, distribution and different crossovers. The brand has 30–40 distribution points in Hong Kong, mostly supermarkets and department outlets, while it has also expanded overseas to the UK and Macau. The bakery also conducts bun-making workshops at HK$198 (RM100) per pax for individuals, or HK$130 each for group workshops of minimum 20 pax.

Martin shows a tray of fresh Ping On buns at the bakery.

The festival’s iconic Ping On buns are another enduring tradition and a delicious symbol of good luck.
