When you are going to Hong Kong, there’s a dessert shop that you must visit and it is Hui Lao Shan 许留山 (mandarin:xu3 liu2 shan1; cantonese:hoi2 lao3 shan4). It’s a very famous desert chain store in Hong Kong and you can find it at a lot of places in Hong Kong.
What they are famous for is their mango smoothy. A lot of mango cutlet, has a mango flavoured ice cream and taste very sweet.
Here’s a bird nest with coconut milk. It’s hot and not that bad. However, it taste more coconut then bird nest. I prefer ordering the fruit based dessert.
This is the carrot cake in XO sauce and I got to tell you that I like this so much. Delicious but then it’s small in portion. I have ate it twice when I was in Hong Kong few months back.
Lastly, we did try another light dish and it is the curry beef offal 牛杂 (cantonese:ngao3zhap2). It taste too much of curry powder and I still like the XO carrot cake more than this.
Price of dessert and food is like 15HKD-50HKD, and yet there’s still a lot of people visit the shop. This means that they are real good. Remembered there’s a Hui Lao Shan in Singapore few years ago but then it has closed down now.
Must visit, must go when you go to Hong Kong.
It will be great if someone franchise it in Malaysia.
