Until recently we ignored their stores because in our ignorance we thought, that Zhao’s is just some cheap chain store with factory made food. However, when the second Guangzhou local told us that they are actually very good we got curious. Turns out their desserts are really tasty. I use my personal Ginger Milk Pudding scale for it, which goes from 1, which is the cheap small store downstairs my home, to 10 which is Baihua Dessert. I would put Zhao’s on 8.
You can find all kinds of typical Cantonese desserts in Zhao’s. Milk Pudding, Coconut Milk desserts, mango ice cream, red bean on whatever you want and lots of other treats. The great thing about Cantonese desserts is, that they are not overly sweet. Especially compare to European or US snacks.
