Dessert Temptation : Hui Lau Shan (许留山)

     The third location for our final food review is a dessert shop called Hui Lau Shan. Hui Lau Shan is the Cantonese pronunciation for these 3 Mandarin characters-许留山, which is pronounced Xu Liu Shan in Mandarin.

     The little shop is located in the middle of the wide walkway from the Orange Atrium to the Blue Atrium in Sunway Pyramid 2. It has a limited number of tables and chairs, but the environment is pretty simple and nice. Hence, this makes it look as if it is a cute, little dessert shop.

     When we entered the shop, only three tables were occupied. Somehow, it seemed like 40% of the shop was already filled due to the small, confined space.

     Once we opened the menus,  most of the food is orangey-yellow in color, because most of the desserts are made out of mangoes. The sweet, scrumptious mango fruit that can be planted in the tropical weather of Malaysia.

     The six of us ordered 4 types of desserts, which are 2 Triple Mango Delight, Mango Feast and Mango Zimi in Double Juices. 

     The first bowl of dessert which is chosen by Shao Perng, arrived within a few minutes. It is topped with mangoes, and another layer of white, milky liquid lies at the bottom with little red beans sunken at the bottom of the bowl. According to the menu, the white liquid was actually coconut milk, which is called santan in Bahasa Malaysia. Shao tasted it and immediately said it was good.

     The second bowl and the fourth bowl of dessert was ordered by Kay Kay, which is also something like the first bowl, but without coconut milk and red beans. It was more like a lighter mango dessert. Pieces of mangoes with little, sliced pieces of translucent jellies is dipped in a bowl of shaved ice that has a mango flavour.

     The third bowl of dessert consists of three different types of desserts. One of them was a biscuit-like dessert, with a creamy layer in between two pieces of biscuits. As you munch, pieces of frozen mango could be found in that creamy layer. Another one was a small bowl of shaved ice that is mango-flavoured, with little round balls that are made out of dough, which are called "Tang Yuan" in Mandarin. The "Tang Yuan" was soft and chewy, and it matches with the mango-flavoured shaved ice.

     The last one was a small bowl of mango-flavoured shaved ice, with pieces of mangoes and thinly-sliced coconut in it. The coconut was silky smooth, and they tasted really fresh.

     The mangoes in every dessert were very fresh and sweet. None of them tasted sour and stale. These must be fresh mangoes with good quality.

     Desserts are never wrong to have after a meal. The sweet taste of desserts just feels perfect on our taste buds. If you’re looking for some light dessert after a meal, Hui Lau Shan is definitely the place to go !
