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.

First of all, I don't know why people felt good at this place before, but our experience was very bad and upset. They shouted at us, called us 八婆, just because we tried to throw trashes to their trash bin, and it was the sticks we bought at their place. The food is below average. We bought 2 sticks, it was nothing amazing and too oily. Tasted bad. The service is too bad!! I want to warn people don't go there otherwise you will have a bad experience that affects your trip to the beautiful temple and wonderful Buddha sculptures. If you want to keep your trip a good one, DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE.

This was good, but the combination didn't really work for me. I prefer the traditional versions of these Chinese desserts. Also the delicate tofu with brown sugar is also traditionally supposed to have ginger flavor in it. I did not taste any ginger. This is OK, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to go here. Service is quick and efficient self service counter in a cafeteria style.

You get choice of hot or cold to most drinks. The ginger latte actually had crushed ginger in it not just the syrup!!! I asked for two cakes and not knowing what flavours they were, I risked it. The bear was a lovely soft sponge with chocolate mousse and the other was like a peach cheesecake. Quite pricey as four items cost $160HK but guess it's similar to coffee shops in uk.

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.

It would be wrong to solely call Kai Kee Dessert, better known as "B仔涼粉" (b boy grass jelly), a…read moredessert shop because their savory snacks are freaking bomb. Kai Kee has the most delicious fishball, rice noodle, siu mai drenched in mixed sauce. You can get all three with all three sauces (peanut butter, sweet sauce, and hot sauce) or you can choose only the items you want. I've yet to try their chicken wings but I heard good things about those too. So please do yourself a favor and try their small snacks when you come here! But of course, their desserts deserve some of the spotlight. They are well known for their huge grass jelly bowls topped with mixed fruits. I love grass jelly but not so much melons. I absolutely love their mango pomelo, durian/mango pancakes, and chocolate lava cakes. I never noticed they also sell cake until recently - and they're not basic cakes either. The one I wanted to try was rose cheesecake but they ran out. I can't wait till I get to eat their stuff again!

The caramel soya bean custard was an ethereal perfection of sweetness and texture, while the custard with sesame rice ball and ginger was a nuanced balance of an unexpected combination of flavors that yielded something far greater than the sum.

TL; DR: Great cafe tucked in a corner of the departure hall…read more We heard about this cafe through the grapevine when planning my trip, and being way early to the airport (the gate wasn't even assigned yet) we took the opportunity to check it out. The cafe sits in a quiet corner of the airport, so it's quite a trek depending on which airline you're flying, but it's worth it. We ordered two pastries, a slice of quiche, and a croissant. Both pastries were rather good. The sponge was light and airy, with the Aimee and its raspberry flavor being my favorite of the two. The croissant was decent, but I was more impressed by the quiche which had a wonderful fluffy texture and a flaky crust. We ordered a bunch of flavored lattes, and the verdict was mixed. I enjoyed my hazelnut latte, as it had a good balance of the chocolat-ey, nutty flavor without being overloaded with sugar. My dad complained that the rose was too sweet, but still less sweet that the norm for American flavored lattes. The coffee was good, but not the best I've had in HK.

I had never heard of Agnes B. and apparently there are a few locations in New York City, so I am excited about this find. At the airport, they had a kiosk and several tables nearby to sit at. The coffee and pastries were reasonably priced and the chocolate they sold looked very high-end. They had a lot of delicious looking chocolate pastries, and I opted for the classic chocolate croissant and they warmed it so it was right out of the oven. A Parisian experience at the Hong Kong airport. J'adore!
