Hong Kong for the Weekend!


How was your long weekend, everyone? As you must have noticed from the title of this entry and the photo above, Carla and I traveled to Hong Kong with the whole Pena family! And if there’s two things that we Filipinos go to Hong Kong for, it’s to shop and EAT. On our second night there, we ate at the famous house that roast goose built – Yung Kee restaurant down by Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong. With sixty-eight years of being renouned for it’s roasted goose, duck and other delicious dishes, I don’t have to tell you about how delectable our meal was. Since this is a dessert blog, I decided to talk about the dessert they served us instead!



The first dessert we tried was the mango pudding. I think their mango pudding was good, but there was nothing really special about it. The pudding had an okay consistency, but I think there were too many mango chunks in there to be able to fully appreciate the pudding. Carla liked it though. She just got her braces and she says it’s very braces-friendly :)



The second dessert was the mini egg custard tarts! These I really enjoyed. The individual serving was just the right size, it wasn’t too big nor too small. The crust was just flaky and crunchy enough. The custard-crust ratio was perfect, I think. It wasn’t too crusty that it overpowered the custard and made your mouth dry. There was just enough custard to nicely complement the crust. The custard was well-made, it wasn’t runny at all and the consistency was just right. It was soft and creamy and wasn’t too thick.


Mini egg custard tarts = WINNER :) Great way to end a delicious meal!

Hi Bea I was just wondering if the egg tarts taste like the ones in Lord Stows so does it? And what's better the ones in Macao or the HK one? hehehe
