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!

We ordered the mango sago with mango and almond tea with peach gum, snow fungus and taro balls. The mango is pretty good with sweet mangoes and a great dessert for any mango lover.

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.

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.

You enter its modern setting with white tiled walls and dark wooden tables. We find a long table with short stools. Order your desserts using the QR code on the table. 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.

The consolation prize for me probably is the ice cream. One of the novelties has to be the liquid nitrogen frozen ice-cream. I am an arts student so if you ask me what that means, I will proudly say I HAVE NO IDEA. But it is new, it is ice cream and it is tasty. The first time I saw Lab Made was when I was at Knutsford Terrace. Over fifty people were standing outside the 'laboratory' eagerly awaiting for their end product from the 'experiement'. Therefore, I was very excited to see it now has a branch in Tuen Mun and it has much fewer people. It is said that the ice cream is frozen in less than two minutes, and the best part is you can see this happen. With the icy mist emitting from the machine, you will be just as excited without even tasting it. As for the taste, its flavor is definitely stronger and smoother as well. The price is around HKD$30 to HKD50. Science is definitely not cheap. So if you are looking forward to going into the state of the art icy cream factory, come to the one at TMTP, it literally takes less than a minute to get your order ready!

They have a couple of locations and I went to the one located in Central HK that was near my hotel. The shop was pretty small and was on the middle of an incline hill. The shop is pretty small and tight. There is only one person working in the front. The table we sat in was not clean. It was sticky and the employee did not bother to wipe it even when we were seated. We have to order through a QR code. There was a seasonal flavor which was strawberry sake at the time. I got the strawberry panna cotta kakigori. Strawberry panna cotta: The strawberry flavor was artificial. The inside of the kakigori was artificial strawberry cream and whipped cream. The shaved ice was icy and crunchy. It was not soft. It was made by regular tap water ice instead of the milk/cream ice that Japan would use. There was no panna cotta on the bottom. It was just more whipped cream that I think they were fooling us thinking we wouldn't notice. Overall, the kakigori was not cheap. It was about $20 USD. It was huge, the same size as you would get in Japan. I think the size is enough for 2 people to share. Another thing is that they include 10% service charge on the receipt. Barely any service but whatever, most restaurant in HK automatically include a 10% service charge. I recommend to try traditional HK dessert dishes instead of this fail imitation of kakigori.

There is a reason why this place is so popular: it feels very home-y with the booths along the sides of the shop and round family-style tables. We arrived around 9:20pm on a Monday night, with little to no line. Just a short 5 minute wait for tables to clear up. In that time, we noticed dessert bowls served in pretty yellow Chinese-style porcelain bowls. Once seated, a Chinese menu peered up at us from under a glass-topped table. I quickly asked for an English menu and a lady kindly brought it to us. I was originally eyeing the walnut cream 合桃露 or the almond cream 杏仁露, but considering my slight cough, decided against anything nutty and heavy, and went for the red bean sweet soup with tangerine peel 陳皮紅豆沙, and boy am I GLAD that I did. It wasn't too dense or too watery. The red bean was blended quite smoothly into the soup with small chunks here and there. There were no visibly large red beans as you would see in other places. While I previously preferred the large chunky "hong dao sa", I think my tastes buds have changed, and have found my go-to place at Yuen Kee. In addition, what I liked best was the use of the tangerine peel - which gave the red bean soup a new uplifting citrus-y smell and taste, and provided a pleasant and natural sweetness to the soup (compared with overly and unnaturally sweet ones elsewhere). My friend's sesame soup 芝麻湖 was just as delicious! Like my red bean soup, it was perfectly blended, and not too grainy, nor too thick or goopy of a sesame mixture. I only wish ALL the desserts came in the yellow bowls - ours came in plain white bowls. You can be sure I'll be back once my health is fully restored.
