Chung Kee Dessert 松記糖水店

Another dessert shop! There's always a steady stream of people entering/leaving this place so yeah, should be safe. I tried their 六寶湯圓 (sticky riceballs in 6 different flavours) and yeah, it was pretty good. The 6 fillings are custard, black glutinous, green tea, red bean, peanut and sesame. They advise patrons to try the first 3 flavours first, followed by the last three which are stronger in taste. I personally liked the custard and peanut ones best. The rice balls are in ginger tea which is mild in taste so none of that eeky, overpowering ginger taste. They cook it upon ordering so you'll need to wait for about 10 mins or so.

Yay or Nay? Yay

But? Only tried 1 dish so, don't know about the rest

To try? Whatever, with the clear soup broth

Address? Check out the full list here. I went to the one at 23, Parkes Street G/floor

Nearest MTR? Jordan MTR exit C2. It's just next to Good Harvest or a shop away.

I dunno what is the EL name of this place and seriously, I don't give a damn. I read about it from another blog, recommending food s/he tried while s/he was here on a holiday. 

Take tourists' recommendations with a pinch of salt, everybody. I'm not a tourist so I'm not shooting myself in the foot here, haha.

I should have known. I walked past the shop 3 times. 1st time: Nobody was in the shop. 2nd time: Went in for my dessert. There were about 5 other pple inside. 3rd time: 1 person was in the shop. This was on a Saturday night.

I tried their egg pudding with sesame 太極芝麻燉鮮奶. Ignoring the sesame part, I think I'll be able to include the 燉鮮奶 part into the Face Off and this will lose to Yee Shun as well. I think somehow, the cooling agent in Yee Shun is more powerful. This egg pudding is not cold enough for me as well. It's not as dense (thus too heavy & becomes too much after about 1/3 of the bowl) as Australia's but still not as refreshing.

Yay or Nay? Nay!

But? Maybe other dishes like their 湯圓 are okay, I don't know, I wouldn't know.

To try? None.

Address? 146 Wan Chai Road, G/F

Nearest MTR? Wanchai MTR exit A3

Zhen 珍豆漿豆腐花專門店

Soya beancurd (豆腐花) has never been my dessert of choice. I very much prefer a soya bean drink (豆漿) to the beancurd. Nonetheless, I thought the soya beancurd tastes great and has a certain rough texture. It's very different from the soya beancurds in my memory (I seldom eat it, remember?) and I liked it a lot. I'm guessing the slightly rough texture means that the beans are not too finely ground which probably means the usual machines are not used. Thumbs up for a cheap dessert!

Yay or Nay? Yay

But? Not as popular as the usual dessert suspects

To try? Soya anything!

Address? 124-128 Portland Street (Though technically, it's on Dundas Street so look for the cross junction of these two streets)

Nearest MTR? Yau Ma Tei Exit A1, it's quite a distance but just look for Dundas Street (intersecting at about 577 Nathan Road), turn into Dundas Street and continue walking till you see the intersection with Portland Street)
