As per our original plan, we left the kids at my friend's house to play after dinner while we made our way downstairs for dessert. Kowloon City is highly touted for its Chinese desserts so not surprisingly, everyone wanted dessert soup to wrap up the night on a sweet note. With Tei Mou Koon Dessert (地茂館甜品) just a few steps away, it was obviously the natural choice for us. At 8:50pm, I thought there wasn't going to be much of a wait but thanks to its popularity, we ended up standing around for nearly 20 minutes before finally offered a table.
They have a section of their dessert menu dedicated to sweet almond tea (杏仁茶) so we were not going to miss it for the world.
Sweet almond tea with peach resin (美人桃膠杏仁茶) – An easy choice for the ladies due to its nourishing effects. This was probably a tad too sweet for me with the peach resin but the egg white meshed well with the creamy almond tea for a nice, silky texture.
Freshly grind almond tea with egg white (招牌蛋白杏仁茶) – The same freshly grinded almond tea with egg white but without the peach resin. This was really filling with the extra amount of egg white but I like the fact that its sweetness was more mild and not really over the top.
And I ordered two glutinous rice balls (湯圓) to go with my almond tea. The size of these tong yuens was huge! Personally, I thought the wrapper and filling ratio wasn't bad but the wrapper could probably be made a little thinner (and thus smaller in size). Perhaps more like the ones from Kai Kai Dessert (佳佳甜品).
They have some pretty good desserts here, I will give them that; but the long lineup and extremely cramped space made a second visit less likely to happen.
