This January 6th 2025 is Epiphany, a day celebrated by eating a buttery almond cream-filled pastry called Galette Des Rois or King’s Cake. As tradition goes, the cake is cut, and whoever gets the “fève”, or figurine hidden inside wins the prize and is crowned king or queen! We’ve made a list of the best places in Hong Kong to get your own Galette Des Rois. Make a whole afternoon of it with the kids and create wonderful memories – they will love it!
