Rock hard and dry scones @ 金獅餅店 C bakery

On the business card for this place, it states since 1965, so being established since then, I assumed it would be listed on OpenRice. As it was not, I searched it on the net, and found out it used to be a famous bakery back then, but closed down since the owner moved to Canada.

However this new shop is opened by a Miss HK 1986 pageant May Ng with the co-operation of the baker from the previous shop.

Anyway back to bakery, there is quite a variety, from the front it looks like a high-end bakery store with cakes and expensive cookies. I got a marmalade scone and a fig bun.
When I picked up the scone it was rock hard, but I still wanted to try it, as not places have orange peel, same with the fig bun.

The scone as expected was very hard and very dry, the fig bun was ok, but only contained one piece of dried fig in the middle, the bun was quite chewy too.
The tops of both the scone and bun can be seen that a coating of egg yolk had been applied to the top before it was baked.

As the baker lived in Canada before, I was expecting some cakes to be more Western, but since he is trying to keep up the standard how it was before, it is understandable they are in Chinese style.
