Hong Kong, Day 2 - Desserts
After Ngong Ping Village, our next destination was Tai O Fishing Village. But first, we need to replenish our energy with some desserts. Pete suggested Po Lin Monastery vegetarian desserts.
While waiting for some of our tour members to come back with the desserts (self-service style), the rest of us sat down to enjoy the garden view and plants.
One of our pretty members with sweet desserts for the group.
I can't remember what is what..
These are bowls of sweet bean curd (tofu fa)
Another set of sweet desserts.
Centre top - yam puffs, on the right - red bean dumplings.
Wheat gluten and a bowl of sweet bean curd (tofu fa)
Sweet sauce and chili sauce.
After having replenished our energy, with renewed strength we all walked to the bus stop.
These neat recyclable collection bins can be found all over Hong Kong. Took this picture at the bus stop, while waiting for the bus to Tai O Fishing Village.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father,
who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal comfort and
a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you
in every good thing you do and say.
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, New International Version-NIV)
Oh everything looks so good. You really do know how to eat. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day Nancy. ☺
My group members did a good job choosing all the yummy desserts for us.
DeleteOoh, that sweet bean curd looks amazing! I love anything made of soy! :) T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIts one of my favourite desserts too!
DeleteLooks delicious
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gosia. Happy Monday!
DeleteHow could you possibly pick what to have Nancy? It all looks so delicious.

Amalia, my friends did the picking and brought back the food items to us. Every one had the chance to taste a piece of every item. After eating a small piece of each item, we were filled up.
DeleteImpressive looking deserts.
ReplyDeleteThey do look good, some tasted good too.
DeleteHi nancy,can you confirm to me if the yum puffs are like tofu? cause it it is, we also have that here in the Philippines, we call it taho. :)
ReplyDeleteSteve, the yum puff skin is fried small yam paste and the filling of the yam puff is supposed to be minced meat plus other ingredients but in this case it was vegetarian. It is savoury and not sweet.
DeleteThis looks so tasty! I am getting hungry just looking at your pictures!
ReplyDeleteCathleen, I can see that you like sweet desserts. Me too!
DeleteWhat a nice selection, Nancy! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, all thanks to my friends for making the right choices.
DeleteI love Taufu Fah :)
ReplyDeleteIts my favourite too!
DeleteAwaiting for your post on Tai O Fishing Village...
ReplyDeleteSharon, next post coming up!
DeleteEverything looks very well-made. Wondering what you ate with the chilli sauce though? :)
ReplyDeleteStacy, I didn't touch the chili sauce. I guess my friends took it with the wheat gluten.
DeleteI saw yam puff. My favourite. And taufu fah too.
ReplyDeleteRose, I like both items too but the taufu fah not silky smooth enough.
DeleteNancy, what a wonderful assortment of desserts! Did you get to try all of them?
ReplyDeleteOh I did, We all get to try a little piece of everything.
DeleteWhat a spread of dessert. I love the tau fu hua especially with this hot hot weather around.
ReplyDeleteIt was a refreshing round of dessert but the tau fu hua was not silky smooth.
DeleteI know only tofu tah :)
ReplyDeleteLina, the rest weree just sweet dumplings with sweet paste filling except for the wheat gluten which was not sweet.
Deletewhat a wonderful variety of desserts. eat till you drop. :)
ReplyDeleteYou were right, not only for the dessert. In Hong Kong my tummy stayed full most of the time.
DeleteThe second pic the one with orange look like egg yolk...har gao ka?
ReplyDeleteKathy, it doesn't even taste like vegetarian har gao. The paste filling was sweet and I couldn't remember what was the name even after my friend mentioned the name.
DeleteYour friends sure know how to take care of you. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
JB
Julia, I was in the right company, they were real nice people and fun to be with too!
DeleteThe desserts all look very tasty! Did you eat one of each?
ReplyDeleteMun, one of each will be too much for me. Every item was cut into two, so we each took a half of each item plus a bowl of tofu fah each. More than enough to last till dinner time.
DeleteYummy-licious! I saw my fav yam puff & toufu fa ... hmm ... made me feel like making some yam puff (wu kok) :D
ReplyDeleteBoth my favourite too. I am sure your home made yam puff must be very good and yummy. I am imagining taking a bite of a freshly fried yam puff..yums!
DeleteOoo...everything looks so yummy! ^.^
ReplyDeleteEspecially when we are hungry!
