FINALLY! A delicious Hong Kong dessert shop which cuts the overcrowded bubble tea plaza (AHEM, yes I'm calling you out Commerce Court).
Auntie Dessert offers refreshing hot and cold HK dessert classics, including milk pudding, coconut purple rice, red bean soup, and the famously popular mango-themed items. My wife loves Double-Skin Milk Pudding , which is always incredibly smooth and sweet. It would be nice if Auntie Dessert could offer a made-to-order hot version, but having a cold-only version definitely helps cut down on the wait times.
On the other hand, I absolutely love mango so naturally I always go for any of the mango dishes. I've had both the Super Mango Mochi Bowl and the Mango Milk Pudding, and I can definitively say the former is my favourite. It's slightly more expensive at $11.99, but Auntie Dessert absolutely STACKS THE MANGO. I don't think I've come across a shop which gives such a generous portion of sweet, fiber-free mango. The bowl has large chunks of real mango surrounded by chewy mochi balls sitting inside a mango puree soup. Everything about this dish is mango-oriented, which makes it really sweet and honestly really value.
This cute little shop seems to always be busy at night, but don't let the line deter you. Tables turnover really quickly, so you'll never be out waiting long.
Oh and wait. Last best thing about this shop? They take AMEX. Enough said. read more
