Amazing golden apple crumble milk pudding @ Daniel's

I was very surprised with this dessert, it tasted so good I would have expected it from a dessert joint rather than a Chinese cafe.
Came across the restaurant in Wan Chai, but went to the CWB branch.

I ordered the Sawdust with milk and egg white pudding, there were 5 flavours: original, pudding, mango, red beans and apple.
Basically the pudding is topped with the flavour of your choice.
For my dessert I had the apple.

The apple topping was very very sweet, its appearance was stewed diced apple pieces in thick golden apple sauce, exactly the same as the filling in McDonalds apple pie minus the cinnamon flavouring.
I tried the pudding initially without the apple, it was smooth and silky and even better than the milk pudding at Yee Shun. The sawdust was finely grounded biscuit crumbs, which were crunchier than the normal sawdust served in other places.
The milk pudding was not overly creamy and didn’t leave a sour taste like other dairy items.
The decorative cream at the top was good too, smooth and creamy.

Firstly it was like eating milk crumble, then it felt like apple crumble.

It would be good if they had more layers of the sawdust in between the milk pudding, and it would be milk crumble and then by adding another layer of apple, it would become apple milk crumble! Wouldn’t that be fun!

Overall there is wide variety offered there. However some dishes are plainly weird!
Soft pork bone with clams (bit strange pork served with shellfish)
Imitation abalone and fatty beef slices (bit weird beef and abalone).

The restaurant was very noisy, as with all Chinese places.
Also the staffs product knowledge could have been improved, I enquired about a noodle dish as I wanted to know which noodles were served, and they answered “ordinary” noodles which really explains it considering there are many types ie egg noodles, wonton noodles, etc.
