11 Portland Restaurants Where Dessert Steals The Show

"Dining at HK Cafe can be an overwhelming experience; there are long waits and big crowds (especially on the weekends), and dim sum carts can sometimes zip by your table at the speed of lightning, making it hard to navigate the restaurant’s extensive offerings. But those willing to brave the chaos are rewarded with some of the city’s best dim sum. For dessert, diners must order the pineapple egg yolk buns — the buns don’t contain any pineapple (instead, the name refers to the sugar-crusted topping, which is meant to resemble the outside of a pineapple), but are filled with warm, creamy custard that explodes in your mouth with every bite." - Michelle Lopez, Janey Wong
