Star Fifteen 星十五 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

A few weeks ago, I have spotted this new Cantonese dessert shop called Star Fifteen (星十五) right across the street from my hair stylist. They were handing out flyers on the streets just in front of the shop but I was in a hurry to get home.

Today not such a problem as I have all the time in the world.

Supreme walnut soup with lotus seed (特製蓮子合桃露王) ($62) – Obviously this is one of their specialties and judging by its color, the walnut soup should be very rich in flavors.

This was really thick. A very filling and comforting dessert soup (albeit with a bit of bitterness).

But what I like more than the dessert soup itself were the delectable black sesame dumplings (黑芝麻湯圓). I love the paper-thin wrapper and how the black sesame paste oozes out following the first bite. It was as perfect as those from Kai Kai Dessert (佳佳甜品).

$62 is a little on the high side even for Tsim Sha Tsui. It could be a while before I consider coming back for a return visit.
