【Chinese Dessert Shop】Art Print - This is Hong Kong X Pearl Law

Chinese Dessert Shop The diversity of food culture has led to the continuous emergence of various dining spaces, embodying Hong Kong's unique vitality. The interior of a traditional Chinese dessert shop is reminiscent of a "Bing Sutt" (traditional Hong Kong-style cafe), featuring simple booths, round tables, or folding tables. Menus are often placed under glass tabletops or stuck on walls. Cantonese people primarily seek a delicate sweetness in their desserts, with a strong emphasis on health and wellness, leading most items to be soup-based. With the proliferation of diverse Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean-style desserts, traditional Chinese desserts, which require time-consuming preparation, cannot command similar prices, and shops solely offering Chinese desserts are becoming increasingly rare. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52814425155_0cd4eda3c0_c_d.jpg Originally published in "This is Hong Kong" Winter 2021.
