Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Sweet Soup

This peculiar Chinese dessert to some is a soup which is usually consumed after dinner. Served both hot and cold, it is a sweet tooth satisfaction on my boat! With a variety of choices which include the most popular of mung bean, red bean, tapioca, tofu, and a handful of others, it is a must try for all. When visiting Hong Kong, I actually had sweet soup every night. 


This extremely cheap eat can be found almost everywhere in Hong Kong. The best part about it is the convenience of this sweet soup which can be found out in the streets. My absolute street food yum is the tapioca soup which is boiled in coconut milk, usually consumed cold or on the cooler side. My ultimate favorite hot sweet soup is the rice balls filled with sesame or peanut paste. The texture is like mochi balls, but it may be too strong of a taste for some because it is boiled in a ginger soup. Nonetheless, sweet soups are a different kind of dessert, but absolutely tasty!

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Honeymoon Dessert

An extremely popular dessert chain in Hong Kong is the Honeymoon Dessert which is known for their twist on traditional Chinese desserts. This includes the sweet soup that I previously blogged about. It is a spot for the new generation and open to many younger crowds that are looking to consume the traditional eat.

The popular dessert here is the Fresh Mango with Glutinous Black Rice that is served in an iced coconut milk. It is a great dessert for the summer, but there are also a handful of other traditional twists that Honeymoon Dessert whips up. For those who are looking for something more traditional, try their duo desserts which includes a mixture of two all time traditional eats this includes sesame paste and tofu fa or even a mixture of two pastes with rice balls.




I definitely couldn't get enough of this dessert spot in Hong Kong, but I was grateful that this restaurant was almost in every tourist spot. It is a must visit for all. Catering to the more foreign tastes, there are also other kinds of desserts and drinks that you can try.
