TSkillet Posted June 21, 2005 at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 at 06:45 PM Anyone who's been the Hong Kong knows the ubiquitious 'Hui Lau Shan' dessert/mango emporiums. They're almost on every block - and they're delicious. Over the 7 years I lived in Hong Kong I took every visitor I had (Mainlander, Japanese, American, whatever) there. Without fail, everyone loved it and returned multiple times. I knew several years ago they built a branch of HLS in New York - but a lot of my friends who spent time in Hong Kong went over and reviewed it - and said it was terrible and not to bother. This was around the time it first opened. I was in New York over the weekend. And it was amazing. Almost as good as the Hong Kong one - I ended up eating there 3 times in the span of 24 hours Here's the Sign for the shop - 150 Centre Street near Canal A bowl of mango pudding and mango sago.

TSkillet Posted June 22, 2005 at 04:49 PM Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 at 04:49 PM well, you don't have to go to Hong Kong anymore .. .. there's one in New York City! (actually I believe there are also branches in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but I don't really remember - they could've just 'stolen' the look of the place) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Soup Posted July 25, 2005 at 03:22 AM Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 at 03:22 AM There's a Hui Lau Shan branch in San Francisco, and I've heard one has opened somewhere in the South Bay as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
