I love sweets. But I also love to be in shape and in good health so I tried to avoid all the junky sweets packed with white sugar, trans-fat and preservatives. Firstly, these are very bad for your organism, make you sleepy, cause skin damage and pointlessly raise your blood pressure. Secondly, if you do some sport, you know that sweets slow you down and decrease performance in a long run. Plus, you don\u2019t need a belly, do you? Neither do I :)<\/p>\n

Before going to Hong Kong, I\u2019ve heard many legends about the food and the desserts in the city. Shortly speaking, they were claimed to be amazing. I didn\u2019t want to loose my chance to try them, but only on my own rules \u2013 all sweets have to be healthy and delicious.<\/p>\n

\"That\u2019s
That\u2019s what happens when I can eat desserts without cheating. I take minimum two. Yes, I ate eveything! :)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did my research and here are the results of my top fit sweets:<\/p>\n

The Black Pearl<\/h2>\n

This is something extraordinary. Not only because of the color but because of ingredients. I have found the black cookie accidently in one of the bakeries and it stole my heart. It looks like weird. It\u2019s like a roll and it\u2019s very soft and wet inside. The composition is surprising. It is made from bamboo charcoal, mochi and high fiber black glutinous rice. All these ingriedients are good for detoxification. Genius idea! That\u2019s why I love Asia J:)<\/p>\n

Goya berry jelly<\/h2>\n

This one was found during my visit in the cheapest 1 star Michelin restaurant (click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to read more about this place). I wanted to try something Chinese so I have picked the dessert that looked mysterious in the menu. It turned out to be a fantastic jelly with superfood \u2013 goji berries. It wasn\u2019t very sweet (no sugar added), but refreshing. Yummy stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Dessert Kitchen<\/h2>\n

The Dessert Kitchen<\/a>\u00a0is a famous little caf\u00e9, which serves unique Asian style treats. The place is very small and equally famous so prepare to wait a bit in the line. But it\u2019s worthy. Desserts give you a taste of real, modern concept of Asian cuisine. You can choose from dozen of surprising desserts like puddings, mousses, sorbets (both in hot or cold version). They all contain healthy ingredients like fresh fruits, bean, rice, coconut milk, and soy. I have tried a mango sorbet and rice pudding with coconut. I need to admit that the concept of each of desserts was amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wild Mylk<\/h2>\n

Last, but not least. My healthy discovery of ice-cream. Who doesn\u2019t like them? However, most of them are so fat and full of sugar that it\u2019s impossible to call them fit. How about the ice-cream that will not contain sugar or cream, but only healthy substitutes like coconut nectar, fresh fruits and coconut milk? Sounds unreal? Well, it\u2019s possible with Wild Mylk. The flavors will drive you crazy. I had an opportunity to try Cinoco spice (taste of chinese five spices \u2013 anise, cloves, nutmeg, fennel, white pepper), Yum Chai (like a masala chai tea) and Super Cool Mint Chip (with the natural chocolate liquor and spirulina).<\/p>\n

Everything is organic, gluten free and guilt free<\/p>\n
