Grindie (Tsim Sha Tsui) — Restaurant in Kowloon

Visited Polam branch long time ago with a poor experience, this time passing by seeing their signature Pistachio dessert were available. I immediately walked in.

After flipping few menu pages, we have decided to order pistachio tofu pudding, cashew and walnut mix and a black sesame burnt basque cheesecake.

Dessert soup was served efficiently. Smell nutty. Love the pistachio nibs topped. It was smooth and love the tofu pudding at the bottom gave a hint of soy sweetness. Couldnt taste much of the tofu pudding texture but pretty good. Cashew and walnut mix was incredibly nutty. Velvety and not too sweet. Difficult to taste each nut's but combining was delicious.

Black sesame burnt basque cheesecake was as tasty as it looks. Unlike the authentic gooey centre, it was a set centre and chilled. Texture wasn't tough at all. Smooth and rich. Strong taste of black sesame flavour with velvety texture. Love the smoky slight burnt edge. Absolutely loving it.

Overall, food was great which worth for a try if a nutty lover. However, dont put on hopes on...

Definitely a hidden gem in Tsim Sha Tsui serving authentic and artisan Cantonese desserts. Very popular so expect a fair wait at peak hours and its a fairly small shop inside but quite nice with wooden decor. All the desserts are delicious and clearly high quality but it is quite expensive especially for the serving size.

Mango tofu pudding: S+, 8.5/10. The tofu pudding here is silky smooth though a bit mild in flavour. Takes on the mango really well. ~$40

Mango sago with coconut milk: SS, 9/10. Fresh and fragrant. $38

Black sesame: SS+, 9.5/10. Some of the smoothest and most well balanced black sesame I've had. Not too sweet and complimented by the tang yuan very well

Longan sorbet: SS, 9/10. Exceptional in terms of flavour and smoothness but quite expensive at $50

Durian sorbet: SS, 9/10. Also extremely good but expensive

Tofu pudding lattes: S+, 8.5/10. Both the pistachio and matcha flavours are very good but...

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Durian sorbet at this restaurant, and I must say, it lived up to all the positive reviews I had read.

The sorbet was incredibly flavorful and had a strong, fruity taste that was simply delightful. The texture was smooth and creamy, making each bite a heavenly experience. It was evident that high-quality ingredients were used to create this delectable treat.

The price of the sorbet was definitely worth it. The portion size was generous, and the taste was so satisfying that I would happily pay the price again. It was a refreshing and indulgent dessert that left me craving for more.

I am already looking forward to my next visit to this restaurant, solely to enjoy the Durian sorbet once again. It is a must-try for any durian lover or anyone looking for a unique and delicious dessert experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates good food and wants to treat themselves to something...
