Hong Kong - Yee Shun Milk Company

The girl friend needed dessert even after all the sashimi and sushi. She was particularly hinting for steamed milk. Now, I haven't the slightest idea what steamed milk was, nor was I really in the mood for dessert when my stomach was longing for a break from an overdose of food. But I went along and we walked just a few blocks away to this Yee Shun Milk Company, apparently famous for their steamed milk desserts.

We each ordered something different - original for the girl, original topped with red beans for the growing boy and ginger flavour (?HK$21) for me. And oh, you can also choose between the hot or cold version.

Now, the appearance of the steamed milk was not unlike soy bean curd. But it was less dense and not as smooth. There was a distinct milk flavour and it was not further sweetened with syrup. I loved my dessert because there was just a slight hint of ginger so it was really refreshing, plus the dessert was very light when I thought it would be custardy and heavy. So, despite being so full, I slurped up every bit of it.

I strongly recommend for milk lovers to give this dessert a try when you are in Hong Kong.
