Kowloon Tong Dessert

Check it out: I'm a Chinese woman who can parallel park.

Okay, so it was a giant space. But seriously, I can parallel park--it's not hard. I took a Zipcar out for the first time today! It was fun; I'd actually never driven around the city for any length of time. Too bad the rental was a last minute decision (J ended up not needing it for work) or I would have planned to go somewhere that I normally can't get to by bus. Oh well; at least errands were run double quick!

We took the car out for dessert last night and decided to try Kowloon Tong Desserts on 7th (between Geary and Clement) instead of going to Creations Dessert House as usual. I think we'll be going here more often! The extensive menu definitely looks worthy of exploration, and prices are much more reasonable than at Creations. Jimmy's harsmar with almond milk was $6.50, which is probably $2 less than something similar at Creations.

I ordered something that Creations doesn't even offer. It's a milk custard, which I would describe as having a texture similar to Japanese steamed egg or flan. The top of the custard is quite firm, and towards the bottom it's very loose. I ordered one with coconut milk flavor and some glutinous black rice at the bottom. It was really tasty and only $3.50. We actually found that this one dessert would have been plenty for the two of us. Bonus points: my dessert took a long time to come out, and from the wait and the way it tasted I'm pretty sure they made it fresh.
