Fried durian dessert @ 五代同糖

This time made a mistake and ordered the fried durian.
icefire durian roll

In the description, it is described as a hot and cold snack, the outer being hot from frying and the inside being cold durian.
The roll is wrapped using Vietnamese rice paper which was not the melt in your mouth rice paper that you find in sweets.
When it came, it had an old oil smell. The vietnamese rice paper was not the rice paper I was thinking of, it was the netted one which has a crisper and harder texture.

The rolls were very oily, I thought the glistening liquid beneath the rolls were syrup, but it was oil.
I even used a tissue to soak up the oil on the roll before eating.
On the picture you can see the bottom side of the roll, which is soaked with yellow oil

Anyway, the durian taste was overpowered by the greasiness of the oil and the netted rice paper.
I felt like I was eating fried Dim Sum.

Steamed egg white
Not sure if this contains cream but its Chinese description is steamed egg white and cream.
The presentation looked exactly like the product shot and it was slightly warm when served.
It just tasted like the usual steamed egg white pudding but there was no creamy taste if I was judging it by the Chinese menu.

It was black sugar jelly served in carnation milk with pieces of melon and crystal sago seeds.
The sweetness of the sugar jelly was just right.

Chocolate jelly noodles with ice-cream @ 五代同糖

I do not usually come here for desserts because the dessert I had before was too oily, and the other one was too sweet.
However this time I saw three items that I thought were quite good, one was the chocolate jelly noodles with ice-cream, the second was brown sugar noodles with fruit and the third was the steamed eggwhite.

When you enter this restaurant there are some small inclined steps which easily trip people up at both entrances which happened to me and some other people.

Chocolate jelly noodles with ice-cream
It looked 95% like the product shot but without the chocolate wafer rolls as shown on the product shot.
I am surprised that no one has written about the chocolate noodles on OpenRice, but the combination of the ingredients in the dessert was really good.
It was chocolate noodles, cocopops, chocolate chips and chocolate ice-cream served in carnation milk.
The sweetness was just right for me.

Cinnamon banana fritters @ 五代同糖

Found this dessert shop because it was located round the corner from Chung's dessert.

When you walk into the shop there is a fruity scent similar to fruit syrups used for making Taiwanese fruit teas.
Anyway because the chocolate noodles were good last time, I ordered it again.
I also ordered the banana fritters with cinnamon as well.

Chocolate jelly noodles:
The chocolate jelly noodles had the wafer rolls which were not given at the Hang Hau branch, and the noodles were cut nicely and more manageable.
As there was a speck of green tea ice-cream in the chocolate ice-cream, I was beginning to wish it was mint chocolate ice-cream, but they only had green tea, chocolate or vanilla.
If the milk was mixed with baileys or even mocha the dessert would have been perfect.
But apart from that it was fun watching the milk turn brown by the cocopops. ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Cinnamon banana fritters:
I thought this was quite creative because cinnamon is usually paired with apple.
The dessert tasted quite nice, but the bananas were sligthly sour and starchy. ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
