We ordered the mango sago with mango and almond tea with peach gum, snow fungus and taro balls. The mango is pretty good with sweet mangoes and a great dessert for any mango lover.

For those of you who don't know, it's made with Ceylon leaves, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. The French toast was so damn delicious but a bit indulgent. I do wish I could taste more of the peanuts. My son loved his bolo bao. We also shared a hot bowl of macaroni soup with Spam and lettuce. Thinking back, I regret not trying the Spicy Satay Beef Instant Noodle. I will have to look for this back in the states. The aunties working here are just the most adorable, very kind and welcoming. One of them took the time to help us navigate the huge menu and recommended a few items. I would come back again and again if I could.

Black Sesame Soup: The thick charcoal- colored soup of ground black sesame seeds is hot, sweet, and sticky. The black sesame has complex flavors that are deeply nutty, earthy, savory, and a touch bitter. There's enough sweetness that allows for the flavors to shine through. The texture is rich, creamy, and smooth. This is the best bowl of the shop. Sweet Walnut Soup: The mild walnut flavor pairs nicely with bolder flavors. The earthy and nutty flavor is creamy and comforting. Sweet Almond Soup: This highlights the aromatic flavor of almond extract, which is very tasty. The floral and fruity flavors are hats to miss.

It is known for having awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand which piqued my interest as I seek quality tongsui aka sweet dessert soups that remind me of my childhood days. The shop is small and crowded with all others who enjoy tongsui and the line moves fast despite the wait. You can order via a QR code at the table or with staff. The menu is simple and they've got most of the must-haves at dessert shops. They have a minimum spend per person if you are dining in, so beware if your group has a person who doesn't do sweet soups. The worst thing (or best thing) that could happen is you eat one for them. The tongsui we ordered were all very basic and while they were delicious, I couldn't tell if they were better or higher quality ingredients compared to other shops across Hong Kong. If I were to be in the area and wanting tongsui, then sure why not. But I am unsure if I would purposely take the train and walk here.

Good thing that I like to order in this restaurant is tofu, sweet dessert. It's usually very very smooth and again not overly sweet. This place can't really go wrong if you wanted to have some nice dessert. The service is really quick. The waiters would come to you immediately and ask you for your order. Usually people come and know what they want to get. The place itself is quite small, so there isn't a lot of seatings people come and go quickly I would have given it five star if the seats are more comfortable But it is kind of crowded and a bit rush.

They warn you that it's made to order which means it'll be a 15 minute wait or so. We ordered the mango pancakes with diced mangoes, vanilla ice cream, fresh cream and what seemed to be a ground up cookie. The pancake was light, fluffy and slightly sweet. It was complimented by the diced mangoes and ice cream. It also came with a paper Michelin man and I Love You Dessert cutout which of course made everything IG worthy. I love Asian desserts because they're not that sweet and this pancake was everything I expected and more.

There was also a card attached with thawing instructions. I waited until the customer behind me ordered and saw that she was also given a frozen piece of mochi which made me feel little bit better. I walked around Mongkok for what I thought was 20 minutes and then decided to dig in. Despite not waiting quite long enough to take my first bite, it was delectable and the frozen mango mousse mimicked ice cream. This treat tasted even better than it looked! Don't get me wrong, this does not rival fresh mochi that you can get from local bakeries, but it's pretty good considering it has been frozen.

I had the mango sago which tasted great and refreshing. Mangos were sweet and the overall dessert wasn't too sweet.

The paper bowls each item is served in is aesthetic as it gets. There are more than a handful of tables at this location of Tei Mou Koon, which also has enough AC on a hot HK day so that you can enjoy these desserts hot or cold. However, it is hidden more towards the back of Lucky Plaza, making it a bit tough to find. We enjoyed their hot black sesame soup (芝麻糊) and Bubur Cha Cha (摩摩喳喳). The black sesame was rich, velvety, and smooth. The cha cha was perfectly chunky and overall a well balanced mixture of goods. Service was attentive and efficient. Pay by cash, credit, digital payment, or Octopus. They don't have a 10% service charge either.

When the whole mango sago trend started to hit the U.S. market (at around the same time) and a HLS opened in NYC, I was not all that impressed. More than often, I'd get overriped mangos topped over mediocre puree that tasted like a bad mix of cheap mango juice blended with some more overriped mangos and loads of sugar. This place has been sitting in my Yelp bookmarks for a loooong time and it was the closest thing I knew of when I was searching for something nice and cold in the area to cool off the sweat I was drenched in from April humidity. I got the Mango & Coconut Juice with Harsmar Jelly drink. I honestly didn't think it was spectacular or anything--if anything, it tasted like the crappy ones I can get at the HLS back home. A bit pricey for a drink (HKD $27) for Hong Kong standards...but standard pricing for the area. I also had the Mango & Aloe Jelly drink at the HLS in TST and it was also below average. Heavy and just overall sugar-loaded. I might've had anticipated too much and ended up disappointed, but I have also heard that the quality of HLS has deteriorated in the last few years. We don't have many drink variations at the mango places in NYC, but I honestly don't care for them now that I've tried a few different drinks. HLS is definitely more expensive in the busier parts of HK--I found the prices to be significantly cheaper as you go out further away. Might actually be worth paying the lower price and a trip to eat better-quality food.
