There are many dessert places in Causeway Bay but there is not actual old school style dessert place. You know the type: red bean dessert soup, green bean dessert soup. None of those things added with ice cream, mochi or anything else. Just the way you mom makes it.Tsui Yuen Dessert is just such a place. A few years ago, they had a shop in Causeway Bay, near the Times Square tram stop where I would be tempted to have a bowl before taking the tram home. But rent increased and it closed and moved
Tsui Yuen Dessert is just such a place. A few years ago, they had a shop in Causeway Bay, near the Times Square tram stop where I would be tempted to have a bowl before taking the tram home. But rent increased and it closed and moved back to North Point. Recently, they reopened again in Causeway Bay. Located behind the new Tower 535, the shop is now much larger and more green in color.
Menu is in Chinese and English. They serve basic old style Chinese desserts. It's cash only and there is no 10% service charge. You do have to order by yelling out your order to the staff. And oddly, you pay by just walking over to the cashier and pointing to where you sit. It may seem strange but they know exactly what they are doing as the few times I've been back, they haven't messed up my order yet.
I ordered this. Sweet beancurd sheets with ginko nuts ($19). You can add a few more dollars for an egg. Like all Chinese soups (be it savory or sweet), there are health benefits. It supposedly lowers cholesterol, makes your skin healthy and glowing. Yes, something so sweet can be healthy, too! The dessert wasn't too sweet but just the right amount. There was some barley also found in it. It tasted a lot like warm soymilk with strands of tofu skin for a bit of bite.
Boyfriend ordered this: a walnut paste soup ($17). Originally he wanted cashew paste but they only have limited bowls and was sold out. We did return another evening and they had cashew available and he ordered that on that night. But on this night, he had walnut. It was super thick and creamy. It had a strong nutty flavor. Boyfriend preferred the walnut more than the cashew.
I did return again on another evening and ordered the steam milk with black sesame paste. It was interesting as they had injected black sesame into the steamed milk instead of just pouring it on top like some places. That I would recommend as well.Very glad that this has opened in Causeway Bay. Now, I have another after dinner dessert option. But more traditional than trendy. This is good as there are evenings when I want something less trendy and have a feeling of home.
