Beautiful Memory Desserts

Awesome dessert!
I have mango tofu puddings. It was really delicious. It wasn’t so sweet. The fruit was fresh.
Awesome new dessert place in town. Recommended!

The desserts here are so good and so original, I highly recommend this place. This is my second visit. It’s such a great find, we started here first, having our dessert before dinner. It’s odd, sure. But may be our new tradition.
There’s so much to say. We had mango pankakes, red beans and tofu pudding (served warm), and mango mochi. Everything was excellent. The pudding can be served warm or cold. We chose warm and were happy with the choice. The mochi was sprinkled w coconut, and was the perfect consistency. But our favorite was the mango pancakes. They were like sweet crepes stuffed w fresh whipped cream and ripe mango.
If you’re looking for great homemade and beautifully presented desserts, not too sugary sweet, but so delicious and unique, I highly recommend Beautiful Memories.

HEEELLLOOOOOOO!!! u
As soon as we walked in, the waiter sat us down and asked if we had ordered before in order to suggest any ideas. He was super helpful and gave us really good suggestions (especially on that Snow White dish). Also hilarious. I highly recommend this cute little dessert shop: D!

This place is the best! Great service and great dessert! Don’t miss out:) had the mango soup and sesame Mochi ice cream

This casual post dinner spot has Instagram-​worthy sweets that are a total hit for kids. Great neighborhood café.

I mean… it’s okay. It’s your regular Hong Kong style desert possibly made with ready to go pack but taste slightly better than that. It’s not bad but certainly not exceptional. What I like about the place is that you are able to mix different types of flavour in one bowl so you’ll get to try different things at once. I had walnut paste + tofu pudding + purple rice soup (The flavours aren’t served as mixed and mashed, rather they are placed nicely in shape next to each other in the bowl. It’s not until you stir it that they mix). Price is also very budget friendly as well.
Our waitress that night was a little weird. To put it in the correct term: unprofessional. She treated all her customers like her friends and I don’t mean the good way; I meant it like… for example when a customer was having some allergy concern over the ingredients the waitress made some suggestion. After getting shot down, she whined a little and said well I don’t know what to pick. To be clear — she wasn’t trying to be rude or mean or anything negative; I feel like she just forgot that these are customers who do not know her like that and this really comes of… weird. Then she opened the door because she was feeling stuffy but it was REALLY cold that night and the cold air kept blowing in. While we were shivering she stretched and said… ALL BETTER. Umm… what?
It won’t stop me from coming back but I thought I’d share that little incident. Lastly, there is NO BATHROOM in this place. Come prepared!

Why spend money on things when you can spend money on Beautiful Memory Desserts!
I had a mango iced beverage that was perfect even in this 28 degree freezing cold weather in which you cant feel your face
My acquaintances got some ice cream and I totally freeloaded
The atmosphere is very comfortable and the staff is super attentive

My friends and I came across this place since Mango Mango a few doors down was closed. There’s a limited seating area, so if you’re coming with a big group, unless the place is empty, it’ll be hard for everyone to get a seat. Then again, it wasn’t that busy when my two friends and I went in the early afternoon.
Service was good. One of the ladies that worked there came to my friends and asked us if we’d like to change what we ordered since she had a few recommendations that might’ve been better for my group of friends to order. Then again, her recommendation involved us spending an addition $ 2/​$ 3. It’s the thought that counts I guess. They have a nice display in their front window that showcases what they have to offer.
Order their mango pancakes. For me it was pretty good since I’m a huge mango fan, but to my other friends it was okay. We also ordered their mango pomelo sweet sago which was okay. It didn’t taste homemade (if that’s the right word). Texture was a bit thick as if it was from a powder. Their watermelon sago was just like any other flavored fruit sago that you’d get at any other dessert place.

They have little desserts here that are all really simple but goood! Its located in Chinatown and perfect for a pick me up snack/​dessert. I love getting anything sago (glutinous balls, its not as weird as it sounds) here. They also have great durian desserts if you enjoy that, its just 50 cents more when it’s off season.

We ordered v5 & v17. Unfortunately, they didn’t have mango ice cream, so I replaced it with vanilla ice cream instead. V5 had herbal jelly, a scoop of green tea ice cream and vanilla sauce, which is basically vanilla and milk flavored shaved ice. V17 is the same as v5, with additional mango chunks on top. We all liked v5 better. The mango didn’t really go as well with the vanilla sauce as I thought it would. Maybe the mango ice cream would have brought the 2 flavors together more nicely than vanilla. The green tea ice cream was really good. It was a perfect bite with a little bit of everything – some of the ice cream, herbal jelly and shaved ice. The vanilla sauce was sweet, but really good. It wasn’t shaved perfectly so I did have a few larger ice chunks, but it was great and tasted similar to condensed milk.

Highly recommended! I ordered the mango pomelo grass jelly on a whim as I passed by this delightful little Chinese sweets shop. It was the perfect ratio of all the components of a great sago dessert. Everything was fresh and it was just the right amount of sweetness. And yes, I did notice and appreciate the little star mango surprise left at the bottom of my bowl; the last little scrumptious piece of deliciousness! Service was quick and friendly!

This is a cute place in Chinatown that has sweet ice shavings and fruit desserts. I got their «Snow White» and it was delicious. The workers help you choose from their menu and are eager to help make your experience great. The portions are the perfect size and they give you two free ice cream mochi cakes if you show them your review on Unilocal!
I think if I come back here I’d definitely get something with the ice cream in it to make it more hearty, or else you’re just having fruit and ice. This is a different type of dessert place and I’m glad I tried it, but I’m not sure if I’d come back unless I was already in the area.

My sister recommended this place knowing I love Asian style desserts. I’ve walked past this dessert spot many times but never tried it out. My friends and I paid a visit and were happy with our order. The spot had a hint of durian scent when you walk in but that’s mainly because they’re known for their durian desserts. We weren’t fans of durian so that’s just our own personal issue. If you’re a fan of durian, definitely try this place out.

The first time I came here was roughly around 2 – 3 years ago with my friend and we ordered a sago and durian pancake. Upon my first visit, I was terrified on how they treat their customers. When we walked in, we weren’t greeted or anything but was told by the worker to sit near the exit. (It was during the winter and there were plenty of seats but why tell us to sit near the exit? Is it cause she was hinting that she didn’t wanna serve us?) The wait for the desserts took at least 15 – 20 minutes which I remembered clearly cause my friend was constantly complaining. The worker didn’t seem like she wanted to work cause she was on her phone the whole time, which showed how «professional» she was.
But anyways, I decided to give it another try a few weeks ago and boy, it changed dramatically. The last time that I remember, the cash register place was on the right and now its on the left, but this isn’t even the main point. The service was better than before. The worker Shirley was really kind and I was glad they hired better workers. I think ordered a tong shui and it came within a reasonable time. It was just the fact that the waiting time and service was better, that I honestly didn’t regret coming.
Overall I’d give it 5 stars because I was satisfied with everything!

On the way to get Boba when we walked by this place. It was full and there was a wait. The menu looked appetizing and the photos really helped seal the deal. Fresh fruit and not too sugary as I’d thought. Food balance of sweetness and flavors. Shirley was busy but helpful.

3.5, rounding down for lack of restroom (even for customers) and lack of effort in constructing the space.
Name is cheesin and this tiny café isn’t the most comfortable of spaces– very limited seating made to of tiny tables and small backless stools. Don’t expect to linger! But becoming more and more of a FOB lately, I’ve come to love HK tropical soup-​y deserts– which are surprisedly not easy to find but happen to be the specialty of Beautiful Memories. Tried the Snow White (palm seeds, sago, mango and lychees on frozen coconut snow) and the pomelo, mango sago– both were great. The mango was super ripe (despite it not being mango season) and sweet. Ratios of fruit to soup were perfect, but portions could’ve been bigger. The mango and durian pancakes also looked very enticing– definitely at the top of my list for next time.
Some other FYIs: $ 15 minimum for credit cards (and only 1 CC per bill). Combos seem like great option for groups. Hope to see more places serving HK deserts pop up!

For the life of me, I do not understand some of the reviewers posting here. My wife and I had «honeymoon» desserts when we were in China and have been looking for a place like it here in the states. We finally found one in Chinatown NYC and will definitely be back! This place was small but cozy. The service was fantastic– the gal serving us was super nice. And the dessert was amazing! We got the Snow White, which was absolutely delicious– basil seeds, rice, yogurt, and several fruit that we only had overseas. We also tried the rice pudding with basil seeds and green tea ice cream. Also fantastic! And brought us back to the dessert we had in China.
Yes some of the desserts are a little pricey, but the portions are big. And there is fruit and other delicacy items in here, so you get good value.
If you’re looking for a quality and unique dessert place– try this out!

Come for the desserts. Definitely get one of the combos with a group of friends.
I enjoyed my experience at Beautiful Memory Desserts. It’s a small dessert shop in Chinatown with limited seating. I’m not familiar with these particular Asian desserts, so I marveled at all the weird flavors and food combinations. The dishes come out quickly in yellow plastic bowls. The color of the bowls clashed a lot with the dessert inside the bowl, mainly because they’re known for their mango desserts. See my pictures if you are confused.
It was fun to try these new flavors, but I personally did not like it. I guess I’m more of an ice cream and cookie person. I’d recommend this place as a cool place to try once, but I’m not sure if I would come back for more.
I also share the sentiment of some other Unilocalers that say the service is really friendly and quick. Our server was helpful and made the experience pleasant.
Tip: Remember to bring cash. They have a $ 15 on card.

Yummy, refreshing and light Asian desserts. The desserts can be pricy ranging from $ 4-​$ 7. However, I was quite surprised how good all 3 desserts tasted and it wasn’t heavy. We had a huge dinner and wanted to get some sweets. I think my favourite was the black sesame balls. Inside the ball was black sesame and it just had so much flavour and deliciousness. The other desert with mango and strawberry was refreshing and light. Give it a try, you’d be surprised.

It was wonderfully cold and quiet when we arrived. It had just opened and the small store was completely empty. I wouldn’t recommend large parties to come here since it probably seats 10 max? But the desserts were good, if not a bit pricey for my tastes.
Btw, there is no bathroom.
