A sweet place for me at Sweet Heart (Sham Shui Po)

This dessert joint is diagonally opposite the Garden Bakery headquarters.

When I saw it from the distance, I was already impressed by their logo because the heart was horizontal with the letter S in the middle.

Inside it was modern and cute with my favourite black and white chequered tiles.


This was definitely the dessert shop for me because their desserts are modern and cute.

I didn't order the desserts below but the panna cotta was impressive because the chocolate and raspberry looked pretty and colourful.

I wished I ordered the dessert below because it had coconut water jelly which is my favourite.
(An excuse to come here again).


I went for the raspberry mousse tart because it looked girly, it was similar to a short crust egg tart but filled with dreamy raspberry mousse.
The crust was a bit dense and too buttery and the raspberry mousse could have been lighter and more refreshing.

Having a quick dessert inside Cafe Inside

This is the second branch of Cafe Inside, the first branch is located on Water Street in Sai Ying Pun.

It was like a greenhouse inside and there was an open area which is currently wasted.



This place used to be a dry cleaners called Redi something.

Anyway, I stopped by for desserts.

Milk pudding:



The milk pudding was quite nice and it was presented in a beautiful dessert cup.
It was topped with red beans which I did not expect.
Overall the milk pudding was smooth and creamy but slightly too sweet.

Cute desserts in a collectible Disney container

Maxim's have launched some new desserts which come in a cute collectible Disney container.

Donald duck and Mickey mouse:

The great thing is that the dessert is in a separate cup so you don't have to wash the container.

Mickey mouse:





Basically it had a layer of banana pudding on the bottom with rich chocolate mousse on top.

The taste was quite nice with a hint of banana which was creamy with rich chocolate mousse on top.

Donald duck:

I liked it how the colours of blue and orange complement and contrast each other because blue and orange are opposite on the colour wheel.


It was light and refreshing with pieces of pomelo in it.

Next Station ... Mong Kok for Dessert

Previously tried this place at Tai Kok Tsui which was remotely located and quite a trek if you don't live there.

They are now located in the outskirts of Mong Kok right across the road from HeSheEats so people who were going to HeSheEats would have another option if the queue is really long!!

Photos of the desserterie:
The style is quite different to the other branch, there are lots of wooden tables and shelves contrasted by different ornaments.





It feels like being in the film 'back to the future' as well as school because of the blackboard.




Here was what I tried:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Warm chocolate foam:Kirsch cherry compote, Lady finger, pink lady yoghurt icecream, warm chocolate foam






I chose this because it had chocolate foam and cherries.
If it was not too sweet then it would have been perfect especially the pairing of cherries and airy light foam balanced by the refreshing yoghurt icecream.

Chestnut purple sweet Potato Mountain:





Sweet purple potato lovers are going to love this because the sweet potato puree has a strong taste with velvety chestnut puree on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Test tubes:





Cucumber wasabi shaved ice

Mojito (White plum jelly, Lime mousse, Mint jelly)

Earl grey panna cotta with expresso foam

This was a fun experiment to eat!
You are advised to have the cucumber first, then the lime and then the earl grey.
Personally I liked the refreshing shaved ice because wasabi and cucumber work well together and the earl grey because it was strong enhanced by the bitterness of the expresso.
