Mango sago pomelo 杨枝甘露 →
Mango purée and pieces are combined with cooked sago pearls, pomelo and a creamy liquid base. Coconut milk, evaporated milk or other dairy ingredients vary by shop. The dessert is chilled, fruity and creamy, with soft pearls and bright, slightly bitter-sour bursts from pomelo.
Hong Kong lemon tea 港式柠檬茶 →
Strong black tea is brewed and served with lemon slices, sweetener and either hot water or ice. Pressing the lemon releases more juice and peel aroma into the drink. Tea tannin and citrus acidity balance the sweetness, while prolonged soaking can add peel bitterness. Iced versions become lighter as the ice melts.
