Hong Kong Dining - Breakfast Dim Sum Food

On our last day in Hong Kong, instead of going far from our hotel in Kowloon, we decided to explore the area around Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees hotel on foot.

Walking past various shops, we managed to find an outlet serving breakfast dim sum food which looked quite packed.

Hong Kong Dining - 'Piggy' Dessert House

With no English name to this Hong Kong Dining spot, I have decided to call it Piggy Dessert House Hong Kong.

Piggy Dessert House

Just a short walk away from our hotel in Kowloon,  Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees, we were there after 2200 hrs and it was pretty crowded with the young crowd and we had to wait for seats.

Hong Kong Dining - Yee Shun Milk Company

Hong Kong Dining

After our lunch at Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant which is famous for their xiaolongbao, we took some time to do some shopping whilst allowing our food to digest before proceeding to Yee Shun Milk Company, a milk theme dessert place frequented by Hong Kong locals.

We had read about the great reviews of Yee Shun Milk Company whilst making plans to travel to Hong Kong and thus mentioned to our local friend, Steven.  Here, Steven helped us fulfill our desires in trying out one of the famed Hong Kong desserts eatery.

Hundreds of desserts in a variety of flavours

Part of the menu

 Steven wanted us to try the toasted bread with coconut, which turned out to be kaya, a spread which we are very well versed with.

Enjoying our 'double skin milk' and kaya bread

Steamed milk in 2 films (cold)

 As the name suggests, this is the double skin milk or 'Shuang Pi Nai'.  We first tried it in China where the top skin is much thicker.


Look closely at the picture, especially the one below, and notice the film of skin on top.  The milk pudding or milk custard as some call it is really good due to the super smooth and soft texture.  The cold dessert makes for a great treat especially on a hot day!

Crowded even at 3.30pm

 Some of Yee Shun Milk Company's specialities include the steamed milk in two films, steamed milk with ginger juice, steamed egg as well as cold milk with papaya juice.

Hong Kong Dining - Lucky Dessert

Hong Kong Dining

Whilst in Hong Kong, we tried quite a number of Hong Kong desserts, one of which was the Lucky Dessert shop.  Lucky Dessert is quite a well known dessert eatery in Hong Kong and serves traditional desserts as well as have their own dessert specialities.

With over half a dozen branches in Hong Kong, we patronized the Lucky Dessert branch in Sham Tseng after our Yue Kee Roast Goose dinner.  Oh!  The goose dinner was just heavenly!

House Specialty

House soup dessert with mango, grapefruit and sago

Although this was one of Lucky Dessert's specialties, we somehow felt that it could have been better.  That could be due to the flavour of the mango which was quite sour.

 Here again, this dessert would have been much better if the mango was sweeter.  :)
