Hui Lau Shan has probably been on my bucket list for about 7-8 years now, at a time when I was…read more"planning" my next trip...which would happen in another 7 years. 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.

It was better when you had a mix of everything but the mango on its own was disappointing. Worth a quick try.

With various offerings of ice cream, milk like products, fruit and such, it can be pretty difficult to know what to pick. If you like durian, there are a few dishes that involve that as a main ingredient. For me, I tried a couple of the desserts and it was all so tasty. Prices here are moderate, and for this particular location, I was surprised at how big it was inside! Service here is prompt and nice, and the portions aren't big enough to share though.

It's below the freeway near the bus terminal and the Macau ferry, so I don't think anyone would go out of their way to eat here unless they happen to be passing by. This was the case for me. It wasn't my first time at Honeymoon but it was my first visit to this branch. Even though I don't think there's anything to write home about, Honeymoon Dessert serves its purpose of satisfying my belly with some local style sweets. I believe my boyfriend got the durian and green tea ice cream with vanilla sauce and I got some grass jelly dessert. The menu was pretty extensive, and there were both hot and cold desserts. As for the interior, it's pretty spacious and clean. I didn't see many customers when I went on a February night.

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.

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.
