Glutinous Rice Balls in Osmanthus Brandy and Black Sesame Paste Pancake 仙露明珠(配)黑芝麻锅饼. I have a weakness for Osmanthus desserts and the soft chewy glutinous rice balls with Osmanthus Brandy is out of the world ! This taste exactly like the authentic Hong Kong Desserts served in Hong Kong Fine Dining Chinese Restaurants. The black sesame paste pancake is crispy on the outside and not too sweet for my palette.
