Candy Cafe, Chinatown, London


Came here for dessert with Irene after dinner at Barshu on Tuesday. This was our second visit to this dessert haunt. It's menu and dessert is better than some of the other ones that we've tried nearby. Given that it was a cold night and we were sitting by an opened window, we both ended up ordering a hot glutinous rice ball with black sesame filling in a coconut milk with sago. I was relatively surprised to find 5 glutinous rice balls in the dessert as these places tend to be stingy and so was quite satisfied with the serving size. The coconut milk with sago barely had any sweetness (did they forget the sugar) but that didn't bother me as it was probably slightly healthier; besides, the glutinous balls were sweet enough anyway. On the whole, an enjoyable dessert on this cold Autumn night!
