We really just wanted dessert, but 囍宴 has a full menu that actually looks pretty good. The menu seems mostly composed of milder Sichuan and Shanghainese dishes.
Anyway, after some deliberation, I decided to break out of my comfort zone and get lychee ice cream in osmanthus wine. This is a risky choice for me because I don't really like ice cream, and I'm terribly lactose intolerant. But the wine part sold it for me.
It was quite good, the wine was a really nice touch. I think if I liked ice cream, I would have really enjoyed this.
The OD got the Japanese sesame and sago combination, which came with a syrup. She offered to let me take an action shot.
Me: It's like syrup bukake.
OD: Thanks for ruining my dessert.
Me: Huh? Why?
I think I might try that next time. I also want to try the Okinawa black sugar Japanese dumplings treat. I actually wanted to eat a durian dessert, but it's not in season right now, tsk. DURIANS ARE ALWAYS GOOD TO EAT ANY TIME.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that 囍宴 is cheap. The desserts were about HKD30 to HKD 50, and the main dishes are from HKD50 to HKD100. But it is affordable enough.
囍宴 is Shop G505&508, Ning On Mansion at stage V in Taikoo. It's just around the corner from Island East. You can call them for directions at 2380 0919.
