The best dessert delivery and takeaway in Hong Kong

The mastermind behind Dang Wen Li, award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel, does it again with the newly launched New York dessert collection ($269). The new dessert tribute is dedicated to New York City, where Ansel first launched his flagship bakery and features four new pastries that reflect life in New York. This includes an apple and vanilla 'Big Apple', a slice of pizza which is actually a strawberry tart, a tiramisu coffee cup that looks like it could have come from your local bodega, and a raspberry crémeux hot dog with surprising 'condiments' and 'relish'. But that's not all, as Dang Wen Li has also decided to bring back the popular har gow and siu mai ($140) desserts. You can pre-order these along with other pastries and desserts online. Simply pick your date and time of pick-up.

They even have a pavlova DIY kit ($550).

With over 10 different outlets across Hong Kong, Honeymoon Dessert is a sure-fire way to get yourself some Chinese style desserts to enjoy at home. Available for pick-up or delivery, Honeymoon does classic sweet soups, sago, grass jelly, and other sweet snacks. Durian addicts can even get their fix with their durian pancakes ($44) – which is definitely worth the mouth stink in our opinion! But, if you're not a fan of the fragrant fruit, try a red bean soup ($28) or almond tea ($32), and you can’t go wrong with a mango pomelo sago ($46) either.

For times when you want dessert, but don’t want anything too heavy, fro-yo (or frozen yoghurt) is a great way to satisfy those sweet cravings.
