Honeymoon Dessert, Vivocity
From the first mouthful of the mango sago pomelo with black glutinous rice dessert at Hui Lau Shan, the Hubs became a fan for life. So, every time we spy a Chinese/Hong Kong dessert stall, we make it a point to check it out, in the hope that we can find a substitute. Just so we don't have to hop onto a plane just to satisfy the Hubs' craving.
Like Hui Lau Shan, Honeymoon Dessert has its roots in Hong Kong and serves up a veritable range of Cantonese desserts. Despite the wide selection of sweets, we couldn't find the same dessert as the Hubs' fave at Hui Lau Shan.
We eventually settled for the Mango Pomelo Sago ($5.90) and topped it up with a scoop of Ice-Cream ($1). This fell short of our expectations. Too much condensed milk was added to this, so instead of a refreshingly light dessert tinged with sweetness, you get a heavily creamed, saccharine concoction. They should have just done away with the condensed milk for a cleaner, clearer taste.
The Double Boiled Milk with Baked Walnut and Almond ($5.50) wasn't half bad, even if I was reluctant to try it in the first place. The warm milk was light and plain, and had an old-school comforting flavour to it. The duo of diced walnuts and almond slices lent crunch while a drizzling of honey provided a little sweetness.
