This local gem is located on Hoi Pa Street amidst a healthy selection of boba tea stands,…read morerestaurants, and other dessert joints. In fact, it sits next to two competing Tong Sui (dessert, or literally "sugar water") stores.
In my opinion, Chung Kee is the best one. Having visited the other two when CK's line is out the door, my advice is -- don't stray! Somehow, the exact same dessert item just won't taste as good when you eat at the other places, whether it's because the fruit isn't as fresh and sweet or the black pearl (basil seeds) are smaller and watered down. CK's gets so packed that in the evenings they take over the cafe immediately adjacent and seat patrons there too.
There is a good selection of hot and cold desserts, from traditional ground sesame and tofu "soups", to fruits, tapiocas, and shaved icecreams. Best of all, the prices are a fraction of those at big chains like Hui Lau Shan and Honeymoon Desserts, roughly 20-30 HKD per item. Highly recommend.
