Cha with Red Dates. The lotus nuts are of high quality and still in
complete shape. Just for the lotus nut, it is even at higher quality
than that in Jade Yuen Dessert. This is a tasty Chinese dessert soup.
Green Bean Paste is not too sweet this time. Hope sweet soup quality
can be maintained in Yuen Kee. The paste has been boiled for several
hours, there is no complete green bean in the paste.

To experience traditional local style Chinese sweet soup in Hong Kong ,
Yuen Kee Dessert should be a representative. Not many such good quality
dessert shops are still available.
Yuen
Kee Dessert (YK) is of unknown history to me, I only know it has a very
long history in Hong Kong . At anytime at night, YK is nearly full. YK
is different from those dessert shops in Mongkok and Causeway Bay, the
diners
in YK is composed of all walks of life (eg elderly and family), not
only confined to the younger generation. Decoration is of course
old-styled, but still comfortable. Courteous manner should not be
expected from those old guy servers. But I would accept “they are so”.
YK
mainly serves traditional Chinese sweet soups, like almond sweet paste
and walnut sweet paste. For all sweet soups, you may order extra lotus
nut and whole egg. Those desserts with colorful fruits are not available
up till now. Besides sweet soups, the “ Egg Cake” is also a signature item.
