Came across this dessert house during a stroll in Tin Hau one night. Was attracted to it because it seemed busy and the door advertised that a TVB drama was filmed here. I ordered a sesame tofu with sesame ice-cream dessert. It was recommended in the menu and seemed quite unique.You get to choose seasame or tofu ice-cream on this one and I chose seasame. The presentation of the dessert was nothing special. But it did look very "sesame". On first bite, I found out the sesame tofu is not actual

You get to choose seasame or tofu ice-cream on this one and I chose seasame. The presentation of the dessert was nothing special. But it did look very "sesame". On first bite, I found out the sesame tofu is not actually like the regular tofu desserts, rather, it's a blend of sesame, tofu and ice. It was very refreshing and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. You can taste both the sesame and tofu, and the sweetness came mostly from the ice-cream. You have to eat the sesame ice and the ice-cream together for full flavor. My friend ordered a chocolate banana mousse pudding. Actually, this was ordered because we thought it was a lava cake. But we read the menu again later and realized it was our mistake.
Again, you get to choose sesame or tofu ice-cream and my friend chose tofu for this one. The presentation was nice so we had high expectations for it. But we were slightly disappointed, I guess also because we had the wrong expectation in mind (thinking it was a lava cake). The texture of the pudding was not as smooth as imagined and it was more like a jelly than a mousse. The chocolate flavor overpowered the banana flavor and the "lava" chocolate sauce inside was pretty average. The tofu ice-cream is definitely not as nice and flavorful as the sesame one, but you can tell from the texture that it's home-made. The pudding is not too sweet and tastes better it has to be eaten with the ice-cream and the "lava" inside . It was not bad, but that's as much as I would rate it.The pricing was reasonable and the desserts are different enough that I'd want to come back to try some different items.
