A friend told me that in Hong Kong, you must have dessert after meal and no matter how full you are after the particular meal. It's like a norm the Hongkies have practised. Recently, i have also noticed that Penang has got more of these "desserts" shops conquering the market. Most of them were outlets originating from Hong Kong, Taiwan and some local.
Take Snow House for instance, specialized in different types of soya bean combination. Basically, the main dessert is soya beancurd (tau foo fah) but with different types of toppings of which you can choose from such as red beans, green beans, ground nuts, herbal jelly and many others.
this device vibrates when you order is ready to be collected (technology is so advance that you can save the "shouting")
soya bean curd with sweet potato, red beans and lotus seed RM6.90
black soya ice with taro Q balls, baby pearls and peanuts RM6.90
soya bean drink with baby pearls RM6.90
I think what attracts customers were the different varieties of toppings for the soya bean curd. Other than that, i don't find the desserts any different than a normal bowl of soya bean curd besides its price!
However, it is still worth a try.
