Jollibean, the renowned Singaporean soybean and dessert brand, is launching a special month-long promotion across its Hong Kong locations, offering a rotating menu of seven signature nourishing Chinese sweet soups (tong sui) for an accessible price of just HK$28 per bowl. Running from February 2 until March 1, the daily-changing selection includes popular items like Peach Gum Tofu Fa and Taro Sago, providing an affordable remedy for the city’s traditionally unpredictable early spring temperatures. The deal aims to spotlight a variety of traditional wellness-focused desserts, rotating between premium soy milk-based treats and restorative hot and cold sweet soups.
Sweet Deal Highlights Diverse Daily Menu
Recognizing the local affinity for traditional nourishment, Jollibean’s promotion strategically highlights a different featured dessert each day of the week. This structured approach allows customers to sample a wide array of high-quality sweets, known for utilizing stone-milled soybean products alongside health-conscious ingredients. The initiative is particularly timely, aligning with the seasonal shift where many seek hydrating and “yin-balancing” foods.
The rotation has been carefully curated to cater to different tastes and desired health benefits:
- Monday: Gui Yuan Peach Gum Tofu Fa – A blend of silky smooth soy pudding with nourishing longan and collagen-rich peach gum, often favoured for its purported beautifying properties.
- Tuesday: Golden Pear and Rock Sugar Stew – Known for its cooling and throat-soothing properties, beneficial during fluctuating weather.
- Wednesday: Coconut Red Bean Peach Gum – A creamy, tropical take on the traditional dessert.
- Thursday: Taro Sago – A perennial favourite featuring creamy, satisfying mashed taro and chewy sago pearls.
- Friday: Japanese Shiratama Red Bean Grass Jelly – A unique combination featuring the mildly earthy flavour of grass jelly, red bean, and the delightful chewiness of shiratama (Japanese glutinous rice balls), a less common find in local Hong Kong dessert menus.
- Saturday: Brown Sugar Pearl Tofu Fa – Incorporating the highly popular brown sugar bubble tea trend into a lighter, traditional soy dessert base.
- Sunday: Black and White Sesame Milk Cap – Highlighting nutritional superfoods sesame seeds in a velvety, comforting presentation.
Affordable Wellness Meets Traditional Taste
This HK$28 offer allows the brand to introduce its diverse menu to a broader audience without compromising on quality. According to food critics, standout items include the exceptionally smooth texture of the Taro Sago, which offers a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The Gui Yuan Peach Gum Tofu Fa is consistently lauded for its nourishing elements, making it a healthy indulgence.
“The inclusion of desserts like the Japanese Shiratama Red Bean Grass Jelly offers a fusion of regional flavours that is both comforting and exciting,” commented a representative of the culinary community. “It brings a slight Taiwanese dessert influence to the familiar Cantonese tong sui structure.”
Finding Your Next Sweet Treat
The daily discounted desserts are available at all Jollibean locations across Hong Kong, including major retail hubs such as Telford Plaza in Kowloon Bay, YOHO Mix in Yuen Long, and new spots like The Wai in Tai Wai. Due to the limited-time nature of the promotion and potential popularity, customers are advised that the desserts are subject to availability and offered strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Customers can take advantage of the deal concurrently with existing meal sets or add-on promotions, maximizing value. This limited-supply campaign, concluding promptly on March 1, offers consumers a strategic opportunity to integrate traditional, nutritious Chinese desserts into their weekly culinary routine at an attractive price point.
