“It’s my Dessert Paradise!”
Indulging in Hong Kong’s irresistible dessert scene is a must! From piping hot sweet paste to icy chilled treats, the sweet life here is unmissable.
First stop: Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert (许留山), a renowned chain found all over Hong Kong, even in New Territories (新界区)! Visited the Causeway Bay outlet at 24-30 Percival Street, Po Hon Building, G/F (波斯富街24-30號寶漢大廈地下26號舖). Ordered their signature dessert, 芒之恋 (Love of Mangoes) – a delightful trio of mango delights.
The handmade mango glutinous rice ball stole the show with its soft, springy skin and perfectly sweet mango filling. Heavenly~
Tiny rice balls paired superbly with diced mango and purée – a delightful sweetness. Sweet~
The refreshing mango sorbet left us with a cool aftertaste. Cool~
Apart from their renowned “Mango 3-Way,” I highly recommend the chunky glutinous rice balls topped with mashed peanuts known as “糖不甩” (Tong But Luck) – literally translated as “unditchable” in Cantonese. :) [**Closed down since 2021]
2) Sweet Dynasty (糖朝)
Introducing another delightful mango dessert spot – Sweet Dynasty, a restaurant offering not only desserts but also full-fledged meals.
A definite must-try in Hong Kong is their mango and pomelo dessert (杨枝甘露). Sweet Dynasty excels in serving this creamy and flavorful chilled treat, creatively presented. The combination of fresh mango paste and refreshing pomelo pulps in the cream soup creates an irresistible mouthfeel that you won’t be able to resist!
Lucky timing! They were running a promotion – any table with orders exceeding HK$50 received a complimentary sweet corn pudding. A delightful bonus to sweeten the experience! :)
Arriving in the early evening with a slight hunger but not quite dinner time, we opted for a tempting tofu dish from the menu that caught my eye. The decision was spot-on, for a delectable blend of tasty gravy with egg white, scallops, and prawns generously topping steamed egg tofu. A smart choice indeed, well done!
This 2-storey restaurant was easy to locate with its address here @ Ground Floor, 100 Canton Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon. Business opens till 1am. Check out detailed location here: My Note Book on the Web.
