Dessert!!!

I mentioned before that food is my biggest preoccupation here, in particular desserts. It's time I introduce you to my favorite dessert spots and dishes:

Honeymoon Desserts
  • Green tea ice cream with 'black pearl' and vanilla sauce
  • Durian crepe with creme
  • Durian mochi
  • Baked sago and custard with a mashed taro filling
  • Glutinous rice balls filled with black sesame paste in a sweet ginger soup
  • Mango and pomelo shake with sago
  • Sweet bean curd with ginger syrup

Hui Lau Shan Healthy Desserts
  • Mango Mochi
  • glutinous rice balls with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts
  • red bean soup with glutinous rice balls
  • Shake: Mango puree with coconut milk and sago
  • Shake: Aloe Jelly with mango puree
  • Shake: Honey jelly with mango and coconut juice
  • any of their pure fruit shakes (Papaya, honey melon, watermelon...)

This week we actually had a really good dessert at a restaurant called "Xi Yan Sweets" (enough said)... lychee sorbet with osmanthus wine:

Dessert is usually on the menu for my dinner in HK any night of the week and the shakes are for in between :) Luckily these two restaurants are chains so we're always delighted to stumble across one while sightseeing!
