With two fabulous experiences we had, as mentioned in previous post, we were ready for more to satisfy our sweet tooth. Here’re the following stores:
3) Yee Shun Milk Company (义顺牛奶公司)
Had an amazing dairy treat at Yee Shun Milk Company today. The Double-steamed Milk Pudding is a game-changer – went for it warm, and the smooth texture with that strong milky kick was just perfect. The ‘milk skin’ layer is something else, hard to put into words, you gotta taste it!
Also dug into the Steamed Egg Pudding, a tasty sidekick to the dairy goodness. Definitely marking this sweet adventure in my diary!
True aficionados of milk puddings know the magic lies in that extra layer crowning the soft and silken smoothness of the pudding. It’s like the cherry on top, but better – a rich ‘milk skin’ that elevates the whole experience to another level. A must for seasoned diners and anyone who loves their milk puddings extraordinary.
The Steamed Egg Pudding was a sensory delight – aromatic, flawlessly smooth, and delightfully runny, melting instantly in the mouth. The noticeable eggy scent added an extra layer of enjoyment to the palate.
As for the skincare benefits, it’s often said that these desserts, when consumed regularly, can contribute to improved skin condition and a radiant facial complexion. While personal experiences may vary, the indulgence might just be a sweet bonus.
Navigated to the Jordon @ 63 Pilkem Street, Jordan (佐敦庇利金街63号) – easy to spot along the main road. A dessert haven in the heart of Hong Kong!
4) Moon Kee Dessert (满记甜品)
During our visit to Lantau Island, our journey to the Big Buddha statue led us to Ngong Ping Cultural themed village, where Moon Kee (满记) caught our attention. Despite its quaint appearance, the bustling crowd hinted at something special. Intrigued, we discovered that Moon Kee offered unique hot dessert soups, distinguishing itself from other dessert shops like Hui Lau Shan (许留山) [*closed down]. The decision to stop by proved worthwhile, as the cozy atmosphere and flavorful hot desserts left a lasting impression on our Lantau Island adventure.
After indulging in a superlicious vegetarian lunch feast at the temple, our filled stomachs led us to share a delightful bowl of hot red bean soup with glutinous rice balls at Moon Kee. Served in cute, squarish, bright yellow bowls with a large matching spoon, the visual contrast against the dark wooden tables added to the charm of the place.
The thick consistency of the red bean soup, abundant red beans, and the absence of artificial starch made it the best I’ve ever tasted. The right balance of sweetness with a touch of tanginess made it truly enjoyable. The stuffed glutinous rice balls, uniquely flavored with a hint of saltiness from the peanut paste, were a delightful surprise. [*Not in their menu anymore]
Despite the temptation for more, a single serving was satisfying, leaving us eagerly anticipating a return to this cozy and comfortable dining spot.
