Ching Ching Desserts
If you are ever in Hong Kong try the cream of almond and black sesame soup at Ching Ching Desserts on Electric Street just around the corner from the Tin Hau metro. It's like drinking marzipan - with a little garnish and served in style this dessert soup could find its way onto the menu of any five star restaurant in the world but you can get a bowl in Hong Kong for less than three bucks.

Won't be going to Hong Kong for quite some time.

It is like making soymilk, but with sweet almonds, sticky rice and a few bitter almonds (for taste). Soak the ingredients overnight, and remove the almond s’ skin. Use a blender and cheese cloth. Boil the liquid thoroughly and add crystal sugar to taste. Mix with milk if you like.

Actually, you should be able to find the cream of almond and black sesame soup mixes from Asia supermarkets. For the black sesame soup, I prefer the Chinese recipe than the Korean one which has too much rice in the mix.

Was I the only one who thought that a dessert chef deserted to the West to make more than $3 until re-reading the title?

Superb! My wife and I had the second half of our first date there. Ching Ching has truly delightful desserts, but it's a little crowded most days. I hope you're enjoying your time here in Hong Kong Alex.

This is Gary Shiu, your former classmate at graduate. I have just learned about your trip to China and HK. Acutally I just live minutes away from CHing Ching desert shop...would you have time for us to meet during your stay in Hong Kong.

一個人背起行囊，離開喧囂的城市，走進清境民宿的懷抱。去體味大自然的清新的原汁原味。在臺灣，只要背離了川流不息的鬧市，到處都有花園般的宜蘭民宿歡迎您，她們就像是自己的家一樣溫馨、舒適。臺灣的民宿都很注重室內設計，豪華的雙人套房猶如五星級賓館的總統套房一般華貴。那兒真是令人流連忘返的地方。
