This is the one of the very few items on the menu here I won't recommend.

I love a good Liu Sha Pau, but the Liu Sha Pau here doesn't work for me. I prefer my Liu Sha Pau to be more savoury than sweet.

Theirs is just too sweet, oily and rich for me. In general, for salted egg yolk dishes, when it is too sweet, the sweetness hits you first, before the other flavours come out. Without the right amount of salt, it is hard to get a balanced salted egg yolk flavour. That's why for salted egg yolk stuff, if it is too sweet, it doesn't work for me.

Anyway just a word of caution.
I made the mistake of biting straight into this and the molten (I should say watery) egg yolk spilled over and scalded me. I did it very slowly but still, the hot lava goodness overflowed. It didn't just burn my mouth, but my fingers and hand as well.

If you love a sweet, watery Liu Sha Pau, this might work for you.
