While Wai Long Hou Herbal Tea Shop may be best known for its soothing, healthy herbal teas, what really keeps locals coming back are their Hong Kong-style desserts. This unassuming shop has built a reputation for making some of the most delectable sweet treats in the neighbourhood. You’ll find a tempting selection from traditional sesame cakes to sweet soups, and springy put chai ko made with either brown sugar or coconut milk and red beans. Each dessert mouthfeel textures, ranging from chewy and glutinous to delightfully bouncy and firm.

Since Wai Long Hou is primarily a takeaway food stall, most customers end up enjoying their sweet indulgences on the curb outside — something special about savouring local delicacies in the vibrant Sham Shui Po neighbourhood.
