Found Auntie Sweets as it's very close to the hotel I am staying at. They have many traditional Chinese desserts and I have liked everything that I have ordered so far. My favourite is the durian tofu pudding. The durian is fresh and the entire dessert is delish. Menu has pictures and both Chinese and English. Place is busy evenings and there is a steady stream of customers for both dine in and take out. Highly recommended! read more

After our wonderful experience at the Auntie Sweet over on the Kowloon side which was utterly fantastic, we just happened to be a block away from this one over here on the HK side, so we wandered on in. Busy vibe inside with tight seating as is customary in small establishments like these. I had the mango sago which had HUGE super ripe pieces of mango and lots of sago in it. It was almost as good as the one over on LS over in Kowloon, but there just wasn't as much crushed ice in it as the one we had in Kowloon. Next time, we'll just ask for more ice in it. Other than that, service was efficient, and I would not mind giving this place another try next time we are in the area. read more

We came here for dessert after having a beef brisket noodle soup nearby. Loved the variety of their menu. Price is quite high tho. I really wanted to try the Super Durian, but ended up ordering A Bold Durian Lover for a subtle taste. Glad I did - it was very refreshing and light. Also got the Longan Iced with Grass Jelly but I wasn't impressed. Overall, good experience. Service was good. They do accept credit card payment (other local dessert shop do cash/octopus card only). read more

My must stop every time I come to HK, also helps it's close to Sister Wah, my other must stops. Got the durian mousse dessert: absolutely fantastic even though I am not a big durian fan. It's served with a healthy scoop of fresh durian. The mousse was smooth with relatively subtle durian flavors read more

In the old Cong Sou location, Auntie Sweet is the new Asian dessert shop in town. They have shaved rice and some standard soupy Asian desserts (think durian, mango, coconut, etc). Mango meets pomelo: It's a pretty standard dish composed of mango, pomelo and sago. I appreciate that it's not too sweet. Treasure chest: Grass jelly, taro balls, red bean, sago and black glutinous rice. It comes either with coconut milk or black sugar syrup (more ginger forward). It was a bit too sweet for me. Killing Me Gently: Nice durian flavors. I thought the tofu curd helped tone down the flavors of the durian a bit, which may make it more appealing to those new to durian. Overall, a solid addition to the HK dessert scene that I would happily return to. read more

The indisputable smell of durian greeted me as I stood in front of Auntie Sweet (甜姨姨) on Christmas Day. Having just returned from Penang, Malaysia with my fill of durian flavored ice cream (which was definitely an acquired taste), I wasn't too keen on having anything durian-related. If you love durian desserts, you've come to the right place. But fear not, if durian isn't your thing, there are other dessert options on the menu! My friend and I didn't wait long and were seated right away, surprisingly behind his childhood friends! What a small world! I ordered the "Coconut Paradise" (after reading the excellent Yelp reviews) while he ordered the Mango Pomelo Sago (楊枝甘露) - our favorite traditional Chinese dessert. Whenever its available, I like to order 楊枝甘露, which I consider to be a benchmark on how good a Chinese dessert place is. That and red bean soup (红豆沙). The "Coconut Paradise" arrived first, looking slight less than what the menu photo showed. I was a bit apprehensive, but you can't judge a dish by its appearance (some exceptions can be made elsewhere). The coconut flavor was very refreshing, with accompanying the chunks of fruit and jelly inside the bowl. The Mango Pomelo Sago (Yeung Ji Gum Lo) arrived next and the first thing I noticed was the very dark, almost-artificially orange color of the mango dessert. I was surprised to see a huge piece of mango on top, as it's usually in smaller pieces at other places. The mango soup was VERY thick and goopy... a disappointment to say the least.. and too sweet. If I ever develop the palate for durian desserts, I'd be willing to give Auntie Sweet another try. Otherwise, you'll find me at Cong Sao for their Mango Pomelo Sago Tofu Fa. read more

This place is delicious! We were in the neighborhood after finishing lunch and this was the perfect treat. We tried the Durian Lover and Coconut Paradise and both were amazing. The durian was fresh and the coconut dessert was very refreshing. There's a lot of options including pudding, ice cream, bean curd and other stuff so if I have another oppurunity I would come back and try those. The Recommendation: If you like Chinese desserts than you will definitely like this place! The durian is a must try when you are here. read more

For you durian lovers, I'm told this is the place to go. Being indifferent about durian myself, I found this place pretty good and their durian acceptable. This place was a pretty decent dessert place that was refreshing after a meal. The place is English friendly too. We ordered the Bean Curd Puree with Mango and Sago (3/5), the Taiwanese style dessert (4/5), and something called Durian Lover. I won't rate the Durian Lovers dessert myself but my friends who like durian gave it a "5/5, must come back". read more

Hong Kong style dessert that's good but nothing exceptional and prices similar to Los Angeles. Large menu selection and good service though. read more

Auntie Sweet is a traditional Chinese dessert place. They have all your typical Chinese desserts but they are most popular with their Tofu Pudding and Bean Curd (topped by frozen yogurt). If you come during after-dinner hours, you're almost guaranteed to have a long wait if you're in a large party. However if you're only here for a table of two, the quite is usually quite short! Dont let the long lines scare you, just go up and ask for a number. The store isnt large but it isnt small. Its not a place where you eat and relax and sit with friends. You kind of just go in eat and leave. The tables are cramped together and its all stool seating; meaning its not very comfortable. But what keeps so many people from coming back here? Easy answer; their desserts! Like most Chinese dessert places, most recommendations are Durian-related. However its not for everyone. I've tried a variety of their dishes here and most are quite good. I really dont think you can go wrong regardless of what you order. If you're not sure the staff is pretty helpful in explaining the dishes. Most recently tried: Strawberry bean curd topped by frozen yogurt, jelly, and dried strawberries - Delicious! Not too sweet and silky smooth bean curd. We opted for dried strawberries which was a quite nice addition. Tong Yuen (glutenous rice balls), half filled with sesame and half with peanut butter & chocolate - The peanut/chocolate filled ones had much stronger flavor, overpowering the sesame rice balls, and making the sesame taste bland. Not a good combo in my opinion. I suggest get one or the other, not mixed! The soup wasn't too sweet, and it had a large piece of ginger in it. Traditional Green Bean dessert - Not overly sweet, and beans were still intact (meaning not overly cooked and mushy). Fantastic if you love this traditional dessert. There are many other dessert places nearby, but Auntie Sweet is definitely worth the wait if you're a dessert lover. Dont forget, its Cash Only! read more

A popular family run dessert cafe in Tin Hau near Causeway Bay known for their durian and mango desserts. The menu has English names of the desserts but does not list the ingredients so you have to rely on the photos for an idea of what to expect. Being a big fan of coconut desserts I opted for the 'coconut paradise' ($32). This turned out to be a very good choice! In addition to fresh mango, coconut jelly and basil seeds with coconut soy milk which I could see from the photo in the menu; the dessert contained cubes of matcha jelly & beancurd! I enjoyed the dessert so much that I decided to return for a 2nd time during my very brief visit to HK. I rarely go back to the same place so frequently as I usually like to try new places but there is good reason why Auntie sweet is always so packed with locals in the evening. They have a loyal following for their tasty freshly prepared desserts using good quality ingredients at very low prices. The 2nd time I was lucky enough to get a table as I entered somebody just left and asked the owner for recommendations. I chose the green tea bean curd paste with sago & soy milk ice cream ($30). I found this dessert slightly too bland for me so ordered the coconut paradise dessert yet again as well. Even though they were so busy the staff were friendly and helpful. The owner was very patient in going through the menu providing recommendations and assurance that the shop does not use any nuts in their desserts. read more

I am never too fond of Chinese dessert. I have never the urge to want it. But after trying that black sesame tofu sago, I thought I have never tried any dessert that tasted so good. No wonder that it is their award winning item. After that dessert, my with and I ordered a few or round of desserts and it could still not fulfill our inner urge to want more. I started to wonder if we were drugged or if the food has addictive ingredient added in it. What haunted me is that the place does not open until 3pm. We went there in the morning for a second visit but they were closed.... I want more. read more

I love the durian tofu pudding here. It's chock full of durian flavor and topped with some fresh durian. The sesame dessert with bean curd sago and ice cream on top was not as good imo. Full of sesame flavor but I didn't think the sesame ice cream was very creamy. It's not very sweet and it's perfect for someone who prefers the 香 sesame flavor. The mango sago I didn't find to be as good as the versions at Honeymoon Dessert. Very popular at night and it's open pretty late. When I came in the afternoon, I recall it being relatively empty. read more

This is a must try dessert place in Hong Kong, particularly for the DURIAN TOFU PUDDING (豆腐花). We also ordered a Mango Sago Tofu Pudding, but unfortunately, it didn't have much of a mango taste beyond the few slices of mango, and the tofu was dissolved. For that, I'd have to take off a star on my review. However, I will definitely be going back in the future. read more

This dessert place is right across from the Tuve hotel where we stayed. It's always crowded at night but you never have to wait too long for a seat. The durian tofu pudding was great. My favorite is definitely the 芝麻豆腐西米露. It's so good that I can eat this almost every day! read more

Auntie Sweet has the title of being one of the best traditional dessert places in town - and with good reason. Size-wise, it's quite small. On the outside, it doesn't look like much - just your typical dessert shop, but on the inside, it's dessert heaven. Auntie Sweet gets really crowded at after-dinner hours, especially on weekends. A wait for a table is essentially guaranteed. There are actually two or three more dessert shops nearby, but none that have the reputation that Auntie Sweet does. The other day, a friend and I had just finished up an early dinner nearby and it was only around 8pm, so we decided to come here. Since it was so early, there weren't many people and we had no issues getting a table. It was hard to decide, but is finally settled on their signature tofu pudding while my friend ordered the sesame and tofu sago. Our desserts came within five minutes. The tofu pudding is served in its pot, keeping it extra hot. The tofu is extremely soft but not super slippery, like some tofu puddings are, and it's just delicious. This would be a wonderful treat on a cold winter night! I tried a little of my friend's sesame sago, which was really good as well. They were very generous with the sago although I did find the soup a little too sweet. Dessert chain Honeymoon is no match for Auntie Sweet. Definitely come and give it a go if you've never before - it'll be worth the wait! read more

I wish we could get these types of asian desserts here in the USA. 1) Sesame pudding with sesame ice cream and sago. 2) Durian on durian pudding with tofu fa. Both were very high quality and very tasty. read more

It's a trap! 甜姨姨 ostensibly focuses on durian-oriented desserts. Do not fall for this. While I arguably do like durian more than the average 老外, that is not why you are here. Same story with the mango-oriented desserts and the cream pancake puffs. Do not get distracted. You are here for 黑芝麻豆腐西米露加黑芝麻冰淇淋 (~HK$30) only and should skip everything else. If you are here with more than two, order more than one. This is one of my guaranteed stops on trips to Hong Kong and one of the very few items I wish I could get a decent version of in Flushing province. 甜姨姨 is simple, bare bones, boasts equally spartan service and semi-uncomfortable tables, operates on a college student's schedule and gets crowded during peak dessert hours. None of that matters once you're digging in to the 黑芝麻. read more
