End your night with mango sago at this Hong Kong-inspired dessert spot in Eastwood
Previous SlideNext Slide Hong Kongese$$$$ The last few blocks of Rowe Street's restaurant strip buzz. Expect Chinese grocers, baked goods and dumplings, plus everything from stonepot fish to crisp-bottomed sheng jian bao, pork soup dumplings, (here's looking at you, 257 Home Kitchen). Zheng's Skewer BBQ – from the team behind Jin's Grilled Meat Pies – is worth a stop, but if sweets are the order, there's no going past Hon Kee Hong Kong Dessert. Come nightfall, tables heave with bowls of milk pudding or glutinous rice with coconut. Both are good picks, but the mango pomelo sago is the fan favourite: cool, refreshing, with bursts of citrus, there's no better dish to close out an evening. The menu features more than 50 desserts, many of them 'sweet soups' – known as tong su (or 'sugar water') in Hong Kong – a syrupy, pudding-like sweet flavoured with ingredients like almonds, walnut, red bean and black sesame.

Nisha Katona's street-hawker sweetcorn brings the heat
'Nothing speaks of a late-night street market in the East more than the golden flickering embers of a sweetcorn hawker's stall,' says Nisha Katona, star of new ITV1 series, Nisha Katona's Home Kitchen. 'The delicious combination of sharp and heat make these far more than a side-show – they are the very reason that many venture out into the streets at all. These are great cooked under the grill/broiler or on the barbecue. For extra theatre, I like to ask my guests to dress their own pieces of corn before cooking.' Serves: 4 Ingredients: 2 tbsp ½ tsp salt ½ tsp chilli powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 lime, halved 4 corn on the cob Method: 1. Preheat the grill/broiler to high and line a grill pan with foil, or prepare a barbecue/grill for cooking. 2. Put the oil, salt, chilli powder and ground cumin in a bowl and stir to combine. Dip the cut sides of the lime halves into the oil-and-spice mixture, then rub all over the pieces of corn. Re-dip as necessary, until the corn is well-coated. 3. Put the corn onto the prepared grill pan and under the grill, or place directly onto the barbecue and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning regularly and basting with any remaining spiced oil, until lightly charred and golden all over. Serve hot. Recipe from '30 Minute Mowgli' by Nisha Katona (Nourish Books, £25).
