Hidden gem dessert place in Jordan which is no longer hidden. Retaining their Michelin Bid Gourmand for a good number of years. This place continues to draw long queues and its opened till 1am.Usually the waiting time is about 20-25 minutes. The desserts are pretty good and ordering is simple with QR code. Make this as a to do list in Hong Kong.

This dessert shop opens till 3am daily, and has a long queue at all times.
The photos don't do justice to the desserts, as the texture and tastes cannot be captured.
Kai Kai Dessert 佳佳甜品 is one of the few eateries which I would give a rating of 5 stars, as they are consistently good and one bowl is never enough.
This time, I had the cold 冻 versions of:
1. Green Bean Soup with Lily Bulb 百合緑豆沙,
2. Sweet Almond Soup 杏仁露 , and
3. Dried Bean Curd with Barley and Gingko 白果薏米腐竹.
Everything was ground to very fine particles, and nothing was too sweet.
Just be prepared to wait for up to 30 minutes, though the queue moves pretty quickly.
At Jordan MTR, with Nathan Hotel across the main road.

A must go if you are in Hong Kong and want to taste the mist authentic Cantonese soup firm desserts.
The “Wu” (thick soup form” are the best. They have walnut, sesame, almond and you can mix among them. The summer only “Water Chestnut Drink with egg flower” are fantastic.
Unbeatable. Simply the best. After the 3 years time because of pandemic, it well worth the trip!!

Despite numerous visits to Hong Kong, my first experience at Kai Kai was a revelation. As a consistent winner of the coveted Michelin star, expectations were high, and Kai Kai did not disappoint.
Venturing beyond the familiar, I tried their black sesame offering—a departure from the traditional flavors I was accustomed to. From the first spoonful, I was captivated by the rich, nutty taste, perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness.
The ambiance at Kai Kai is understated yet elegant, allowing the flavors of the cuisine to take center stage. Each dish is a work of art, meticulously crafted to delight the palate and elevate the dining experience.
As I savored every bite, I couldn't help but marvel at the culinary mastery on display. Kai Kai's Michelin pedigree is well-deserved, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the diversity and innovation of Hong Kong's gastronomic scene.
For a taste of excellence in every bite, Kai Kai is a must-visit destination for any discerning food enthusiast in Hong Kong.

This place was on the food to try list during our visit to Hong Kong.
Went there on one afternoon after lunch. There was a queue and all tables were occupied. The restaurant is rather small so not many tables. We opt to do take away and eat at a nearby shopping centre.
Ordered the red bean and fu chuk gingko dessert.
Overall, nothing special to worth the wait.

One of the recommended places to go to for HK speciality desserts and it did not disappoint. We tried their specials - Black sesame paste and rice dumpling in ginger soup. The sesame paste wasn't anything special - it tasted like it says on the tin, like sesame paste. The rice dumpling in ginger soup was a delight, with every bite a surprise. We went late afternoon and they had run out of mango dessert with pomelo. There was along queue - maybe 15-20 min wait with a well organised token system queue. You have to share tables and it is very much a get in, eat and leave kind of affair. Cash and octopus card only.

Not old people friendly because ordering is complicated. You need a hand phone to be able to enter the QR programme for selecting your dessert. The pictures on the hand phone are too small to see for seniors.

Bad taste - I ordered the dumplings and it tasted burnt and hard ( frozen), not authentic dessert. The service made it worst - hope they improve

Famous 糖水, local Chinese desserts.
There was a long queue when we got there, though it moved pretty fast. They've got many Michelin accolades hanging on the wall and photos of celebrities that have visited.
The Black Sesame Paste is really good, silky smooth and not too sweet. I loved the tang yuan even more, perfectly sized for you to have it in 1 mouth, having the black sesame filling burst into flavours and not leaking onto your spoon.
Worth the queue and calories!

Cantonese sweets. Not “desserts” Cantonese have fruit as a palate cleanser after a meal. Sweet items are eaten as sweets.
This type of sweet is one area I can claim to be an expert. Happy to report- perfection. All the acclaim is deserved.

Kai Kai Dessert is a casual eatery that specialises in traditional Cantonese desserts. They have both English and Cantonese menus, and the pictures make it easy for ordering. If you love ginger and yummy textures, you'll love their 'Sesame Seed Rice Ball with Ginger Sweet Soup for $18 HK ($3.40 NZD). It is soft and chewy glutinous rice balls (tong yuen) filled with a smooth and velvety sesame paste in a hot ginger soup which is mild on the sugar but packs a punch with the ginger heat. It was the best thing I ate in Hong Kong, and I ended up eating it a few times while here at different spots, but Kai Kai was the best!

If you know “Tong Shiite” (desserts soup), you’ll love Kai Kai. Every time we visit Hong Kong, we have to go for satisfying our sweet teeth. Everything is full of it’s genuine taste. Sesame, walnut, green bean, red bean, wheat and barley soaps are all great. In the Summer, you can have it cold or try the Mango and Lychee drink made only for 3 months a year called “Yuen Zhi Kum Lo”
Beware of the long line during after lunch and dinner. Or just take out to enjoy them in your hotel room! Sorry, no delivery! The 90 years old grandma still taking off the shells of the nut for you. Thank you!

Don't have a sweet tooth but I do like my black sesame paste. Glad I decided to go across the subway underpass over to Parkes Street for a dessert nightcap. Didn't encounter the read-about long queue, got a seat within 10 minutes.
Wished I had gone with a bigger group - would've been able to try more of. Managed to try 5 desserts over the course of 3 consecutive nights instead.
Had the hot black sesame paste on my first visit. Hit the spot. I forgot to ask if they grinded the black sesame from scratch but it tasted like it. (Never knew black sesame bean paste can be had cold too! Tried that on my third visit - still prefer the conventional hot version. )
Another standout dessert to try is the gingko with barley and bean curd (白果薏米腐竹). The bean curd was smooth and silky but more importantly, it was within the "acceptable sweet" limit.
Had their black sesame dumpling in "ginger juice" to go and that was delightful too, thanks to the "ginger juice'. There were 8 mini dumplings.
The joint was relatively quieter past midnight, and there was no queue.
This is a cash-only joint.
Desserts average around HKD$22-24, think it was a dollar more for takeaways.
There are a few other dessert joints sprinkled around Parkes Street / Temple Street but I was obsessed with trying as many desserts as I could at 佳佳.
p.s. They have English menus for tourists.

Jordan / Yau Ma Tei
The Jordan and Yau Ma Tei neighbourhood is where you will find some of the more authentic areas of Hong Kong. Not as glamourous or busy as its neighbours Mong Kok to the north or Tsim Sha Tsui to the south, Yau Ma Tei is often mistakenly overlooked by visitors on their trips to Hong Kong. Exploring parts of this area makes you feel like you’ve been transported back in time. A large part of the neighbourhood draws from the rich history of Temple Street, stretching from Jordan to Yau Ma Tei, where a mix of dai pai dongs (outdoor restaurants), market stalls, fortune tellers and old karaoke bars bring out the history and culture of the area. The neighbourhood is a showcase of diversity – different ethnicities, cultures, and a mix of old and new.
