Chung Kee Dessert is to Hong Kong, Caveman and Yeti is to Philippines

When it comes to Hong Kong dessert places, I used to know of only 許留山 Hui Lau Shan and 滿記甜品 Honeymoon Dessert.

But during my 3-months stint, we discovered and frequented the Causeway Bay branch of Chung Kee Dessert.

Although they offer different hot and cold desserts, my favorite will have to be their mango pudding, their shaved ice offering comes in second.  Here, you have a choice of which flavor of shaved ice you want plus 2 kinds of toppings plus your flavor of choice for the syrup for around 28HKD (good for sharing).  [I prefer their mango shaved ice over the chocolate with magic pearls (similar to tapioca except that it pops inside one's mouth) as one of the toppings. *yum*]

Apparently, Caveman and Yeti has brought the shaved flavored ice concept here in Manila, too.

Comparatively, Caveman and Yeti has more toppings to offer mainly because the store, unlike Chung Kee Dessert, is all about shaved ice although they also offer sesame mochi buns which are fried mochi.

Earlier today I ordered their strawberry heart (vanilla shaved ice with strawberry syrup) and a mochi bun. And boy, am I glad to have a place that can fill that void whenever I miss Chung Kee.
