After the savory items, there is always time for dessert. The menu has a handful of choices which include bird-nest, deep-fried sesame balls, and baked Portuguese-style tarts (with a blistered surface). Though I didn’t taste the Portuguese tart, I heard my companion saying that he would prefer the Chinese-style egg tart.
