    If you're looking for a dining experience that exceeds expectations, this spot is a must-visit. I only go to places rated 4.5 and above, so I was a little hesitant to go. But my friend said it's great.. it's not a fancy place but it offers a delightful array of fruit dessert selections, both hot and cold, that cater to every palate. The food and service are impeccable, earning a perfect 5.0 in my book. One of the standout features is their late-night hours, staying open until midnight, which means you can enjoy their delectable offerings well into the night. They also serve a variety of food, ensuring there's something for everyone. The portions are generous, perfect for sharing with friends or family. Despite its popularity, which is a testament to its quality, there's always room for improvement. If they update the decor, this place would transform from great to truly awesome. Don't miss out on this gem--it's a top pick for dessert lovers and night owls alike!

    My fiend took me here for dessert and I'm surprised by the location of this dessert place. It's located more like basement of residential area but it was packed when we came in. My friend told me that she has been coming here for years, ever since she was in college. I was like wow, you don't get a lot of places opened for so long and it's still packed. Anyway, they have some really traditional Chinese dessert and those are delicious. We talked for a long time and they don't seemed to rush us at all. I guess that's one of the reasons they are still packed at this time. People loved to hand out here.

    Been coming here ever since I was in high school, and nearly two decades later, it's pretty much the same. They did stop giving out free stuff for check-ins, and they use a QR scanner for the menu, but that old school charm hasn't changed. They serve mostly classic HK cafe food - macaroni/ramen soup, HK toast, lemon tea, and so on. You can also get desserts such as ice cream, boba, smoothies, snow frog, grass/turtle jelly, mango/almond jelly and sago. I'd recommend the ice cream waffle. The main draw is that they're open most of the day and night, so you can basically come here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or midnight snack.

    This place has always been my go to for late night desserts. But it's always a hit or miss with it. Whenever I order desserts, I always get the sesame filled balls with ginger soup. Its basic, but delicious! Their toast is OK. Sometimes it tastes like chicken, as if they fried the French toast after making fried chicken wings.. The smoothies are delicious too! Overall, it's a good place for a quick late night snack!
