How it's used

Often considered a classic staple of Hong Kong style cafes, this drink is frequently treated as a dessert rather than just a beverage. It is common to see it served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, which transforms it into a richer, more indulgent treat. Because of the heavy red bean content, it is usually served with a long spoon to help scoop up the beans at the bottom.

red bean ice with ice cream

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with standard iced red bean soup, as the version served in cafes specifically requires the addition of evaporated milk to achieve the signature creamy texture.
