Dessert eateries never
fail in Hong Kong (as long as they can survive the rocket high property rents).
Having said that, not all of them are worth revisiting, not to mention a few
popular ones such as this Cong Sao Dessert whose entrance is always crowded
with her dessert fans queuing for seats. This shop has been relocated last year
from her old place a street away, none of my friends has negative feedback on
their food because they offer a wide range of choices (except the shredded
flavoured ice flakes which I dislike) and the quality is consistently high.
a) Yuzu Jelly with Ginger Juice 薑汁柚子果凍($25) – 8.2
Diced jelly of yuzu,
the Japanese or Korean terms of grapefruit, is already a very pleasing snack
for both kids and adults. For this dessert, it blended very well with the
ginger juice mixed in milk and cream sweet soup.
b) Yuzu Jelly with Mango Sorbet 芒果柚子果凍($25) – 8.3
Similar to the yuzu
jelly in ginger juice, frozen mango puree was blended into sorbet. The taste
was natural and yummy.
c) Longan Ice Sorbet with Nata de Coco 龍眼椰果冰 ($28) – 8.5
This item is one of
the hot items on the menu and very popular in Summer, however, you can still
spot some orders on a cool day. Tiny chunks of smashed longan in the sorbet and
nata de coco both give a chew and texture. Glad that they have this item all
year round.
d) Grass Jelly with Red Bean Paste 紅豆茸涼粉($24) – 8.1
The sweetness of
mashed red beans was just alright to go with the plain grass jelly.
e) Strawberry Sago Soup with Nata de Coco 士多啤梨椰果西米露($26) – 8.2
Frozen strawberry was
blended with cream and milk to make it a gelato texture. A small bowl of sago
was served aside as they would be hardened quickly when in contact with the
gelato.
