Hong Kong Desserts

Hong Kong has some of the best light desserts I’ve ever tasted. They also love to eat fruit –mangoes are very popular along with red bean and grass jelly.  Here are two of the best dessert places we visited!

Yee Shun Milk Company

This place makes double-steamed milk which has a light milk flavor and a custard-y flan texture.  On the left is a Coffee steamed milk which tasted like milk steeped in coffee grinds and slightly bitter. The right is the original double-steamed milk.

But the Steamed egg was our favorite:great egg taste,not too sweet and molten hot. Their Pork Cutlet bun,which is actually a popular Macau snack,was a simple fried pork cutlet served in a plain toasted bun –no sauce,no toppings,nada. And it was delicious!

Honeymoon Dessert

This place is known for their southeast asian dessert offerings like the Mango Pomelo &Sago Sweet Soup with Ice-cream. Tofu pudding (douhua),red bean soup,and other chinese dessert soups are topped with mango,sago,coconut,etc. On the left I think is the Coconut Juice &Sago grass jelly and the right is the Mango Pomelo &Sago Tofu Pudding with sweet soup. The first dish was kinda underwhelming,nothing much to write about here. In the second dish the pomelo added a slight grapefruit bitterness and I think this dish would’ve been better without it,but it was still creamy and refreshing.
