佳佳甜品

This is "Jia Jia Desserts," located in Jordan, Hong Kong. It has been in operation since 1979, making it over 45 years old, and is one of the representative spots for Hong Kong-style dessert among locals and tourists. What impresses people the most is the entire row of Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation plaques on the wall, listed continuously for nine years from 2019 to 2024, which is truly impressive.

The dining area has seating and a fast turnover rate. This time, we ordered and paid online directly using our mobile phones, and the process was very smooth. We ordered three popular desserts:

• Sesame Paste (Hot) $30: The sesame aroma is very strong, with a smooth and creamy texture. It's rich to the point of feeling like drinking sesame sauce; finishing it alone can be a bit heavy, but it’s really fragrant, perfect for sesame lovers.
• Walnut Soup (Hot) $32: Smooth in texture, with a mild aroma. It's on the sweeter side but not as heavy as sesame. Ideal for those who enjoy a nutty flavor but prefer a gentler taste.
• Taro and Lotus Seed Sago (Cold) $29: This bowl was my favorite of the day. The taro was rich yet not overly sweet, with a pleasant texture from the lotus seeds. The sago was cooked just right, and drinking it cold was very refreshing.

The total for the three desserts was HK$91, which is reasonable for a famous dessert place in Hong Kong. Overall, it's an old shop that’s worth visiting at least once, especially suitable for enjoying a bowl after dinner to warm the stomach and satisfy cravings. If you happen to be at Jordan Station, you might want to stop by for a bowl of dessert filled with Hong Kong flavor, which will surely make you miss Hong Kong a little more.
