Short Talk:
My card adapter screwed up. That means I can't upload and edit photos till I'm back in Kuching. :(
Best Pudding Ever
If you're ever in Hong Kong for any reason at all, there is one place that you absolutely must go.
Don't be fooled by its appearance.
On the outside, this shop looks like some place you your grandmother buy Chinese medicine from. But I'm telling ya, I had better time in the shop than in Disneyland.
The name of the place is called Chu Xu Liu Shan, probably named after a famous maiden from ancient China.
They serve mango puddings. Nothing else but mango puddings.
They've got mango puddings by itself, mango puddings with sago balls, mango puddings with fruits, mango puddings with ice cream, ... anything and every possible combination you could think of. And they are absolutely sensational.
I discovered it when I was at Causeway Bay (Hong Kong's main shopping area) and saw a sizable crowd forming by the shopfront. My instinct immediately tells me that one of the following must be true:
a) Some celebrity sighting
b) Someone fighting
c) Someone giving out something for free
Turns out none of the above was happening at all. The Chu Liu Shan outlet was just having one of their normal days.
Out of curiousity, I hopped into their almost-full shop and ordered their basic mango pudding. And I got THIS.
This is not an ordinary dessert dish at all. Their mango puddings are absolutely out of this world.
And It's not exactly cheap either you know. A bowl of mango pudding like that costs HK$26/RM13. That's the price of Starbucks! Yet business is still doing so well. That's how good they are.
It's not difficult to see why. One spoonful of their mango pudding and I'm already in seventh heaven. Their pudding is smooth and silky, their mango fresh and aromatic. I can't remember the last time I tasted something so... orgasmic before.
It's so good I came back the second day and ordered another dish. This time, mango pudding with glutinous rice balls and fruits. This one's even better than the basic variation.
It's so yummmy I'm gonna go for it again tomorrow before I leave for the airport. No doubt when I leave Hong Kong, this will be one of the things I miss most.
Want some?
Dammit, someone quick go start a franchise in Malaysia already!

Great pics Kenny. One can literally salivate when you look at the yummy dessert. I always have fond memories of Hong Kong culinary delights. In my last visit to HK, the waiters are definitely more polight now (I guess might have something to do with the restaurant queues which aren't so long!)

ABSOLUTELY SINFUL MANGO PUDDING SDN. BHD. LOL

Aiyah... hungry liao lah. The mango pudding look so nice...
Weird lah, how come our countries don't have such scrumptious Mango Pudding (super-ultra-cheapo-sweet sweet one got lah), but Hong Kong (the country which doesn't even grow mango at all) have.
Or Hong Kong do have mango tree?

OMG, i ate this almost every night in HK too. It's actually a chain over there, so you should be able to find one near to every major shopping district.
They had one in Singapore near to Lido, but I think the prices didn't make sense here where you could get ice kachang for only $2. :)

there's one in SG. in one of the buildings along Orchard road, nearer to the Thai Embassy. Think the name of the building's called Palais Renaissance. It's on the ground level.

i just went there recently and YA, it is SO good. if i didnt remb wrongly, the outlet you went to is just opposite the Times Square in HK.
yummy.

the mango pudding looks delicious.
You should try "chee ma wu" (black sesame dessert) and "fa shang wu" (peanut dessert) too.

Chu Liu Shan was my great-great-great grandmother. Those mango outlets are using her name without her descendents' permission. We're going to sue!

Kenny, try their Smelly Beancurd. It smelly from far, but when u eat it, it damn nice lor.. :)
Posted by: chapman at 25 July 2006 12:56 PM | Link to comment
Er, you're in HK buy a new card adaptor, probably costs less than your pudding.

this is sure one place that i visited twice during my short stay in HK...your photos of them just made me drool non-stop..
i ate the first time in HK and never in singapore before it closed down...
will eat again if i ever step into HK again!
Posted by: Leonard at 25 July 2006 2:09 PM | Link to comment
This is not something new Kenny, it's been around ages, it's HK's version of McDonald's. I've asked them for franchising in Malaysia 2 yrs ago, they're not interested then coz Singapore's outlet apparently did not do very well. U hav one last chance to eat it in da airport OK LOL. Try da fried dessert w mango inside.
Posted by: Anonymous at 25 July 2006 2:17 PM | Link to comment
There's an outlet at HK Airport, Arrivals floor.

KL have a lot this kinda shop..but is it as good as this one? i dunno...=p
Posted by: ming at 25 July 2006 2:51 PM | Link to comment
The exact location in Singapre WAS International Building between Lido and the Thai Embassy. Went there sometime last year. Poor value for money. I remembered paying $5-6 SGD for a honeydew sago, and it came with 2 small balls of honeydew and 1 small ball of watermelon. Simply pathethic. I rather go to a hawker center.

oh my god, I've forgotten how long is the last time I ate mango pudding. I guess it's before my dad pass away. Your pictures is just like the pudding is near to me and it is telling me to eat them! Please, don't post such pictures again or more people will suffer, lol.

Roast goose at Yung Kee is at 32-40 Wellington Street in Central.
Zyn, the dessert place can be seen from Times Square in Causeway Bay.
Kenny, you may want to try the "little basket pau" and "tam tam mee" at Wing Lei Yuen at the Gourmet Centre in Whampoa. The chicken soup there is great as well. Din Tai Fung, one floor above the Wing Lei Yuen has pretty good little basket pau as well. Also recommend a Sichuan restaurant in Causeway bay called Man Jiang Hung (not sure of spelling) on Patterson Street. Their fish in dried chili soup is awesome.
bon apetit

Oh yeah, there's an awesome ox tripe noodle shop in Central called Kow Kee that's open at night. I think the cab drivers would know the joint. Always see a few cabs parked outside whenever I am there. They even charge for plain msg (?) soup.

All desserts cost that price.
We spent more than 100 HK dollars just for desserts during last trip.

Mmmm... puddings. Not a fan of mango, though.
The best kind of pudding, IMO, is Osakan green-tea pudding with red bean filling. Simply deliciouuuus~~

i thought chu liu xiang is the dude with eye liner and sideburns, topknot and wears a dress? Not jack sparrow. The one with the sword.
one a side note, Shanghai's franchise is better than HK's. I think its the chicks who make them.

We arrived in Hong Kong earlier today and of course it was the first place we went, in Causeway Bay across from Times Square.
We had the mini mango combo and the mango pudding with coconut/black rice. Round two coming tomorrow.

Hey Kenny,
I love Hui Lau San too!! If you're going to HK again, do try out the infamous double boiled milk (tan nai) and double boiled egg (tan dan) located in Causeway Bay too. I personally think that their tan dan is to-die-for. It's near Sasa, and you can see lots of milk bottles on display by the window. They can be quite cocky also, usually closes at 12am, but by 11:30pm, they'll lock up and will not entertain anyone anymore...in cantonese, we call it "lok jap fong kau"

i m sorrie tt e one in sg closes down but it deserved it. e price is much more expensive n e quality is not there. I LOVE THEIR "LUB LUB MONG KOR SONG" - a drink w mango pudding n mango drink n mango pureee.. besides to eat xu liu san in hk, is best to go in grp of 3, can buy cheaper.. hee!! verdict: if u went n left hk w/o drinking or eating at there, u wasted 10% of ya time n money gg hk.. haha... i love e fish meat siew mai there too!! it's crazily chewy.. n e streetside carramari is gigantic.. muz try!!! *sobz* y m i in sg???
