Whether your from UK, America, Canada, China or wherever, Gu Fah has just the snacks to bring back because they represent traditional Chinese pastries which are beautifully boxed with English and Chinese and individually wrapped.
Their first branch was set up in Tsuen Wan and now the second branch is located next to the cinema at the iSquare mall which connects to the MTR.
On the left, there is a special tasting counter where everyone can try each available product before buying.
Thanks to Eric I got an assortment tin (Almond Pies, White Sesame Pies, Black Sesame Pies and Roast Pork Pies), Phoenix rolls, Wife cakes, Husband cakes, Almond pies, Low sugar sachimas, Brown sugar sachimas.

Assortment tin:
Almond Pies
This is a really nice snack that everyone is bound to like because it is flakey layers of pastry coated with a meringue like icing on top that is not too sweet.
White Sesame Pies
The white sesame is similar to the above but has a strong toasted taste because the sesame seeds are easily toasted.
Black Sesame Pies
Compared to the white sesame, I preferred the black sesame because the colour contrast was nicer and black sesame has a better taste.
Roast Pork Pies
This is made with oyster sauce by Lee Kam Kee and and the savouryness was really strong which was why I liked it and it was buttery as well.

Phoenix rolls:
These Phoenix rolls are made with crispy wafer thin egg pastry filled with shredded coconut and roasted sesame seeds.
I loved the coconut in these phoenix rolls and they are individually wrapped which is really handy.
The design of this box is much better than those boring tins with a stupid round lid and opening which makes it difficult to get them out.

brown sugar sachima:
This has become one of my favourite snacks because I love its chewy and soft texture and it is not sweet at all!
For improvements, I would like to see smaller pieces individually wrapped.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
low sugar sachima:
Again, it was good because it was not sweet but does not have the fragrant touch of the brown sugar sachima.

Husband (black sesame):
This had savoury beef and stewed sweet wintermelon inside which was delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wife Cakes:
The Wife Cake tastes sweeter than the above and contains red beans.
