| - To get typical Hong Kong style desserts, this place is as good as it gets in GTA.
The place doesn't open until late afternoon/early evening, "busy time" is 9pm and later. Not much ambiance, but cozy and comfortable.
The English menu is quite challenging to negotiate with because of the translation, so go with someone who knows what to order to take a few minutes to "study" the menu.
+ There is the soupy paste-y category -- basically there are walnut, almond, sesame varieties; you can combo them up by mixing any of the two or all three, adding glutinous rice flour balls with sesame filing to the paste/soup is another option. Just note this is described as "sweet ball" in the English menu.
+ There is the whole mango series, from pudding to jello to pancake, everything made fresh (you see boxes upon boxes of mangoes stacked up in the store). Oh, you can also get pancake with durian fillings, the "king of the fruit" you either love or hate.
+ There is also double-boiled milk and egg white mixture type of desserts, probably uniquely Hong Kong. I don't remember the exact names of the various dishes, some have more milk vs. others have more egg whites, but all are good.
Some of the dishes can be consumed hot or cold, if unsure, asked the owner/chef-looking guy who is always willing to help and give you a recommendation.
