"Kowloon Tong in the Richmond has two things going for them: They’re open until midnight daily, and they serve an extensive list of hard-to-find Hong Kong-style desserts like tong yuen, tofu fa, and grass jelly—and they’re all delicious. Tong yuen are stretchy and chewy, tofu fa is custardy and served with a just-sweet-enough ginger syrup, and the grass jelly is firm and stands up to mounds of fresh fruits and ice cream. Crowds form after dinner every night. If you can’t bear a potential hour-long wait, order online and scurry in to grab your desserts before running home and back into your sweats." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
