There are two layers. Before tasting, you can sense a strong smell of milk. The

In
Yee Shun Milk Company, I can either choose a hot dish or a cool one. The
steamed egg is very special as it has a glossy surface. It is also extremely
smooth and slippery. Each spoon of it can slide into my mouth. The taste is
wonderful, too. Despite the sweetness, it is aromatic of eggs. This dessert is
very healthy. If you like eating eggs, you should try it.

These
two fragrant drinks can really cool you down in the hot summer days. Actually, I
like the coconut milk shake more. Although it looks less attractive, there is an
extremely sweet taste of coconut. The juice used is fresh. As milk is added, the
drink is smooth, too. Nevertheless, I think more milk can be added to the papaya
milk shake, which is common.
These
dairy desserts bring us a lot of advantages. We will have better skin that we
desire. Most importantly, it is good for expelling cold in the system and
nourishing the spleen, stomach and lungs. Therefore, you can have some of these
in teatime or you can even try to make your own desserts at home.
