However their savory food is just as tasty. My sister ordered beef noodles and not only is is so flavorful, but the beef meat pretty much melts into your mouth. My smoked salmon salad was one of the best salads I've ever eaten and the entire bowl was empty by the time I was through with it. Quality food and service! Edit: I came back with the sole purpose of trying their desserts (and other savory foods) and it was worth the half hour wait, I'll tell you. We ordered pasta, the cookies and cream brick toast, jasmine milk tea, and brown sugar milk tea with wheat. Pasta: forgot the name but SO GOOD like better than some of the high class Italian pastas I've had in California. How can a Taiwanese cafe that specialize in dessert create such divine pasta I don't know but I ain't complaining! Brick toast: 10/10 I'm so used to eating the inside of the brick toast and leaving the crust to the dust because of how hard and flavorless it is, but this is hands down the best brick toast I've ever had in my life where I was able to eat both the crust AND the inside. Jasmine milk tea: good taste, good quality. Good enough for my mom to crave more for it even after being back in California for a week. Brown sugar milk tea with wheat: maybe it's because I'm unable to drink this stuff without getting sick, but my throat started to feel funky after two sips and the texture of the wheat made me feel uncomfortable to drink anymore. Most of their drinks are brown sugar so I wish they had more flavors but maybe this is what they're known for. Everything else is great, though!

English Review: Tea…read morewood is a very refreshing and trendy Taiwanese chain. For me, the teal bluish coloring combined with the wood surfaces provide a very classy and fun environment to eat. My party of 2 came around peak hours ~1:30pm and was seated in about 10 minutes. However because of the lunch rush, was only allowed to stay for 60 minutes. My order: ~$150 HK or about ~$25 US Popcorn chicken - nice and crispy; definitely a lot better than some of its American counterparts Mixed fruit tea - felt like I could have made it at home to be honest; however, they gave a huge load of fruit( Mangos, Dragon fruit, strawberry, blueberry, plums) which made it super refreshing Latte - cutest little coffee art I've ever seen! All in all pretty cute place. A little busy for my tastes but I still had a good time. 4/5 stars :)

The restaurant is pretty spacious and when we visited, it was pretty empty. We had no trouble getting a table for our large group of six people. Staff speak some English and they have English menus available so we had no trouble ordering. I believe they're most known for the pineapple buns and egg tarts so of course, we ordered several to share. It's also an incomplete visit to a cha chaang teng without the coffee milk tea and on top of that, I also got a side of scrambled eggs. The pineapple bun was kind of dense and dry, even with the slab of butter. The egg tarts were also dry with a plain-tasting custard. The coffee milk tea was fine but we didn't realize until visiting another cha chaang teng that hot usually means unsweetened. And the scrambled eggs were so plain...I just remember cha chaang teng scrambled eggs being super silky and creamy. This was just disappointing and I didn't need to order normal, regular-tasting scrambled eggs. They're saving grace is how cheap everything was. For that price, it just felt like we got what we paid for...lower quality food. I was very confused because I feel like I read a lot of raving reviews about this place so maybe we visited on an off day. But out of every place we tried, this was pretty low on our list.

Unfortunately this did not meet my expectations, and was definitely my least favorite out of the restaurants we went to. Lots of seating available, for parties big and small. They have English menus available as well. The pineapple bun looked promising, but once I bit into it, the bun itself was not very fluffy and rather dense, and the crust didn't seem to have enough flavor to it. The egg tart crusts were also dry, and the custard itself was just ok. I tried a piece of my friends french toast, and that was pretty good, although they took the syrup away pretty early on even though we were still eating. The coffee milk tea was also just ok, nothing special and didn't really have a strong taste in either direction. I'd skip this spot and go to a different cha chaang teng.

I think this is a pretty hit-or-miss dessert shop. When my family came here previously, they said…read morethe desserts were thick, creamy, rich, and tasty. When I went with them, the mango pomelo dessert was quite watery, the black sesame soup was also watery and almost tasteless. It definitely depends on who is working the kitchen that day.

Still, I don't think that I'd go back to Lucky Desserts when there's so many other consistent and delicious places to eat in HK.

Don't let the giant queue scare you, and yes there is almost always a queue. Despite that, it moves fairly fast. Its definitely not a place where you sit and chat with your friends. They expect you to sit down, order right away, eat it, and leave right away. But I guess many popular places are like that around Hong Kong.. Seating-wise its very cramp here. You'll be sitting basically elbow to elbow with strangers next and behind you. But that doesn't matter because their desserts are so wonderful! Some of my favorites are the tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) that come come with peanut sauce. The one that comes in the ginger soup is good too (for this dish, the balls have fillings inside, such as sesame or peanut sauce). Another good one is their sorbets, which are perfect for a hot day.

Heyyyy, do you like durian? Or even want to give it a shot despite the crazy smell it may emit or…read morethe odd taste it might exude? I believe one of the ways to try durian without having to be afraid of it is by tasting it through the various dessert dishes here at this cute little place. Having no idea that this place existed, I was pretty thankful to my new local friend who suggested this place. It's located in a small little street, similar to an alley way, and by the time you get near it, you'll definitely see a long line of people waiting to get in. The wait itself isn't that bad. Most people just come here to eat dessert and leave right after. Once seated, my friends and I spent some time browsing through the extensive dessert menu and settled on trying the durian with crystal seeds (one of the many popular dishes) and watermelon and lychee with crystal seeds. In summary, the watermelon and lychee were ok. The watermelon ended up being too watery for my taste and the lychee wasn't too memorable. Both tasted decent but definitely not a must try. For the durian, this was surprisingly good! I am normally not a durian fan (the stench gets to me sometime) but here, you couldn't really smell too much of the durian in the dish. The taste of durian was also soften quite a bit, making this dish a bit more doable for those who do not like durian. I found this dish to be pretty tasty and not too sweet and it was unique to eat it with the crystal seeds. Overall, this is a great spot to stop by for desserts. If you're not a fan of durian but can tolerate the smell of it wafting through the restaurant, this place is great to try other HK desserts at an affordable price.
