"A stylish, minimalist spot on the upper level of Shanghai Plaza with a shaded outdoor patio, it offers a long, Hong Kong–inspired menu presented in a colorful, photo-filled format that explains less familiar ingredients like grass jelly, sago, and durian. Despite the dessert focus, the kitchen also serves savory snacks — house chicken wings ($6.95), crispy gyoza ($4.95), Thai curry fish balls ($5.75) — plus curly fries, shumai, calamari rings, and butterfly shrimp. The main attraction is the artfully plated Cantonese-style desserts (most below $7), served on orange-hued tableware in small portions that encourage sampling; highlights include hot or cold snow fungus and papaya soup, mango pomelo sago tofu pudding, stewed hashima coconut soup, and Thai black glutinous rice. Open daily from 2 p.m. to midnight (phone: 702-888-1685)." - Bradley Martin
