Having dessert after dinner is a common dining practice across many cultures, and Hong Kongers often go for “sweet soup” – a sweet, warm soup or custard served as dessert after meals. There are countless Cantonese sweet soup shops in the city to choose from.

Some of the most well-known sweet soup places are Yuen Kee Dessert (32 Centre St, Sai Wan) and Kai Kai Dessert (29 Ning Po St, Jordan) which both have a rich history. The go-to “sweet soups” are the classic black sesame soup, sweet ginger soup with glutinous rice balls, sweet potato soup, mango sago and red bean soup.
