We decided to go for desserts one night in Tin Hau (get name) after dinner and have noticed that this place is always busy! The later it is, the busier the place. The menu was extensive – it ranges from different types of fruits with sago, or fruit puddings, custards, icecreams and traditional chinese desserts. For those who knows me well – one of my favourite all time fruits is Durian! It is an acquired taste, and if you can get pass the 'smell', it is truly a fantastic fruit! So… without even perusing through all the choices, I got durian with sago.
As soon as the lady put the bowl in front of me, I can smell the durian – which to me smells absolutely wonderful and delicious! It's a cold dessert, with durian puree, sago and fresh durian on top (writing this makes my mouth water and wanting more durian!). The durian puree was creamy and had the right amount of sago in it. It truly didn't disappoint – my only complaint would be there weren't enough fresh durian on top!
Our cousins ordered mango with grapefruit sorbet – it was a huge bowl with fresh cut mango, nata de coco (which is chewy, translucent, jelly like food which tastes like coconut) and a choice of sorbet, and he picked grapefruit. The grapefruit sorbet was utterly bitter on its own, however, mixed with mango and nata de coco it was surprisingly tasty. The combination of the three really worked well together.
Hubby ordered his favourite, which is mango and sago dessert – basically mango and mango puree, sago pearls and bit of coconut milk. I didn't have any this, however, he devoured all so I think it was more than just 'good'.
There are many great dessert locations in Hong Kong, this is one of them. I am sure this won't be the last time we visit here.
