Hong Kong people seem to have a love for everything mango and where better to start than at Hui Lau Shan.
The mango variety that they use is extremely fragrant. Reminds me of the apple mangoes that we have back home growing in our gardens . But I am sure they do not source it from us. I think they use either Philippines or Thai mangoes for this purpose.
This is one of the more popular outlets . Have seen other branches with bigger seating spaces, yet somehow they don't do so well nor attract or pack in the crowds like this one does.
If you cannot read chinese, the mock ups right at the entrance would prove to be most helpful .
Get yourself a table first.
It's elbow room in this very cramped, tiny shoplot yet nobody seems to mind.
Go through the menu and see what you would like to try.
Signal to the waiter for assistance once you have a rough indication on what you want.
You will not regret ordering the gorgeous looking dish called Mango Fiesta.
There is a heavenly mango ice cream sitting on top of a bed of spiced caramalised cooked fresh fibrous fruit (either a pear or apple I think), hinged by a wall of chocolate wafer.
In the centre is a creamy cake sandwiched by layers of silky smooth mango slices with texture similar to canned peaches.
While the last combines large balls of sago,with cubed fruit and 2 different types of puree .
Goes so well with each other.
This drink, whatever the combination you choose, is to die for.
Inside are dollops of a melt in your mouth kind of jelly, meant to cool you down during the hot summer months.
Behind this is a plastic container where you can get your spoons. It's on every table
Lastly we ordered this too because we noticed all the locals having one on their table.
Only after ordering did we realise we should have told the waiter that we wanted the one with mango ice cream inside. But no worries, this mango overdose was good too !
Again, it consists of the awesomely fragrant puree and delicious mango cubes but the only difference this time is , it has small sago seeds like what we get in our bubur cha cha.
When you're done, take the order slip to the counter.
All these desserts cost us around RM$50 in total.
Worth every cent.
I heard that they have opened up a shop here in One Utama and Berjaya Times Square, but I haven't tried it yet.
Anyway, it is always best to try at the source so you know what the fuss is all about.
