Mango Mania. Originally from Thailand, this is their version of our popular Hui Lau Shan (which sadly went bankrupt). Boyfriend and I walk by it quite a bit every time he wants to check out the Nike outlet store but not once did we think to give it a try. I guess we were talking about the closing of Hui Lau Shan that we started to reminisce over mango centered desserts. We flipped through the menu and went in to give it a try.It's not a very big shop and it share the space with the Thai restaur
It's not a very big shop and it share the space with the Thai restaurant next door. It was afternoon tea time and there were a number of people that lived nearby having a mango dessert.
Menu in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge and you pay on your way out. The menu had photos of all the food served. And they had quite a variety of mango desserts and drinks.
We decide to share a dessert and chose the Mango Bingsu ($70). Not too big but enough to share. There were huge chunks of mango encircling the entire mound of shaved ice. The mango was extremely sweet. On top was a scoop of smooth mango ice cream. There was condensed milk and mango syrup to add to it and a scoop of mango sticky rice that had a nice coconutty flavor.
The shaved ice was so fluffy and soft. I haven't come across one so finely shaved in Hong Kong. It was also flavored with condensed milk throughout so you didn't feel like you were eating bland ice like a few places in Hong Kong. It also didn't melt very fast as well. One of the best bingsu I've had in Hong Kong.
Before taking off, I wanted a drink for the road. I ordered a Mango Mania ($33). It was a thick and smooth mango smothie. It tasted just like pulverized mango. There wasn't shards of ice to be found. Everything was well blended. I even had chunks of mango to chew on as well.
Definitely a place for mango fans. The desserts were great. No skimping on the mango content. I would defintely back for a drink to go next time as well.
