Sweethoney Dessert, 410 W Main St. #110, Alhambra, CA 91801
Sweethoney Dessert started in Hong Kong and specializes in HK desserts, including eggettes, souffle pancakes, sweet dessert soups (with tofu, grass jelly, sago, red beans, black sesame, etc.), milk pudding, rice balls, etc. They also savory snacks and beverages (milk tea, fruit tea, fruit drinks, etc). The menu is extensive. The menu they handed me didn’t seem to have everything that I saw on the menu board posted outside.
The dessert soups looked smaller than the ones you’d get at Meet Fresh. I believe most desserts are made to order.
Strawberry & cream eggette ($8.95): The HK eggette waffle looked perfectly made with well-formed puffs. The areas between the puffs were extra crispy. The puffs were softer in the middle but slightly crispy on the outside. The waffle was a little sweeter than I’m used to but also more flavorful. The fresh strawberries were thinly sliced. The cream was odd though – denser than whipped cream. It tasted more like sweetened whipped topping than whipped cream. I didn’t like it. Would get a plain eggette next time.
Classic milk tea, no sugar added ($5.50): This was good, not too creamy and the right level of sweetness
Sweethoney is a bit more expensive but it’s nice inside. It looks like a modern dessert place with striped wallpaper and comfy seats.
