How it's used

Originating from Hong Kong in the 1980s, this dessert is a staple of local cha chaan teng and dessert shops. It is strictly served chilled, as the combination of mango puree, coconut milk, and pomelo segments relies on a refreshing temperature to balance the sweetness. You will almost never see it served warm, as the texture of the pomelo and the freshness of the mango would be compromised.
