My favorite place for Hong Kong dessert! I come here probably a little too much, and any time…read morefriends and family visit Hong Kong, I always make an excuse to bring them here! 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.

When I visit HK, one of the first things I do is go for a double milk skin pudding, one of my…read morefavorite desserts, a steamed treat made of milk, egg whites, and sugar. After dinner, Yee Shun is packed. From the window, there are trays of white bowls filled with milk puddings of different flavors. They seated me at a table with a young couple. There's a frosted glass partition on the table. While our knees are almost touching, we can't see each other. Double Skin Milk is a pudding with a smooth, creamy, and custardy texture. You can have it either cold or hot depending on your mood. The best part is the thick chewy skin that has formed on the top of the pudding. There's something extremely satisfying about carving little slices off the pudding with your spoon.

We ordered the regular steamed milk, ginger and a French toast (mandatory for each person to order at least one dish). Items came quickly. The ginger steamed milk was so good, perfect blend of ginger and milk flavor. The French toast was so, for me, nostalgic as I watched Hong Kong dramas growing up, and felt like I was home eating it.

I'm pretty sure Fruit Tea is the current Asian drink craze (especially in Asia). There's…read moretonnnnnssss of places in HK that mainly offer variations of fruit tea. Prior to this, I had never had Fruit Tea before because just a couple months ago there weren't really that many places in TO selling it. BUTTTTT MY LIFE HAS CHANGED BECAUSE OF THIS. Move over bbt... No one wants tapioca any more, it's too filling. The Fruit Tea here is the BOMB DIGGITY. There's TONS of fruits in here - watermelon, apples, oranges, and strawberries. AND they give you a long lil fork so you can easily eat your fruits afterwards, so thoughtful! The only negative about this was the line up... It was freaking LONG A F. It was mostly neighbouring office workers doing a drink run for their entire office. We waited a total of 45 mins for 2 drinks. ALSO, since this location is at the mid-level escalators, there is NO A/C. It was actually crazy hot. Also, kinda funny seeing how all the office workers were literally sweating through their long sleeved shirts LOL. Also love their little logo of the wolf - so cute.

The biggest bummer is that it's in an indoor/outdoor space with very little ventilation... so the wait can be sort of torture and the drinks do take a few mins to make. I went with the fresh sugar cane Cha that had kiwi, watermelon, lemon, strawberries and more. Because it was so warm outside, I took a huge sip without realizing that the cold drink would cause a disastrous bout of brain-freeze... but totally worth it. My beverage wasn't overly sweet and was the perfect way to quench thirst and find some sort of relief from a sweaty day in the city.

Total. Let. Down. Cute name... "deerioca"... but really, nothing amazing... it was a bit water-down. Well... compared to Tiger Sugar & YiFang in HK, this brand is like a KuFu Tea... mid-range. Definitely not spectacular like its competitors. Operation: order outside, wait for drinks inside. Decent. If you're around the area... Try it out.

Although brown sugar milk tea was introduced in HK as early as 2018, I couldn't believe the hype was still real in 2019. The tiny space was packed with patrons waiting for their orders. I don't really remember which drink I got but I think it was the basic one: Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk. I love the logo on the uniquely shaped cups, I think it really allows the brand to stand out from its competitors. But I was also pleasantly pleased by how smooth the milk tasted. It kind of made the wait worth it because of the high-quality ingredients.

Here, since "cha cha" is in the name, definitely give that a try - it's made of grains and beans with a healthy dose of coconut milk. I found the almond paste here smooth and flavourful as well. As usual, service is efficient but not particularly nice. Hey, that's the Hong Kong way ;)

It's not the best milk tea place in town, but it satisfies my cravings. This location is tricky to find. It's hidden behind all the little shops along the alley/street. So if you're on queens road, turn right into Li Yuen Street EAST. You'll see the little shops that crowd the alley/street. Keep looking to the right, behind the little stall/shop and you'll find it! If you end up at Des Veoux Road, you've missed it.
