SweetHoney Dessert

I decided to check out this place on randomly. However, I think they got pretty good Brown Sugar boba. I tried their mango dessert and it’s not too sweet or sugary. But the soul in my picture is the Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Strong flavorful milk tea with a perfect boba make the best drink for me (if you like it creamy, add the cheese foam on top)!

To be completely honest, I was very underwhelmed on my first visit. I love trying new things from different cultures and seeing as this is the only Hong Kong dessert style spots in central OC, I was super excited to check it out. I can’t recall what we ordered besides the durian pancakes but nothing stood out. My brother on the other hand loved it. He is also the reason I came back a second time.

On my second trip we ordered the almond soup with tofu and a vanilla frost. The soup was warm and comforting on the cold rainy evening. It was literally pouring rain outside. And the frost was cool and refreshing. I really enjoyed both..a lot. Ironically, we might have ordered similar items the first time.

Here’s the thing, if you’re looking for super flavorful desserts, this might not be your spot. Everything (that I’ve had so far) has been mild and subtle. I think that was the difference between my first and second visits..expectations. When it comes to Asian desserts we love it when it’s “not too sweet.” This place does a really good job of delicately showcasing flavors. You don’t leave feeling heavy or guilty.

The reason I gave this five stars is because I judge things based on its “crave-ability.” Do I think of it days or weeks later? Do I crave something from there? Do I discover something I like enough to want to watch YouTube videos on how to make it? The answer here to all three questions was YES.
