Hong Kong’s dessert scene gets four new reasons to indulge this month.
Lady M’s Banoffee Pie
Lady M puts its own spin on Banoffee Pie, one of Britain’s most beloved afternoon tea classics. The dessert layers banana cream, chocolate sponge, bananas and caramel sauce on a deep-roasted crust. The top is finished with piped banana cream, 70% dark chocolate shavings and edible gold leaf. Best paired with Earl Grey tea to balance the richness. Available from September 17 in Hong Kong and September 19 in Macau. Slices from HK$69; whole pies from HK$480. ladymhk.com
MYKA Greek Frozen Yogurt
Madrid-born MYKA landed in Hong Kong on September 11, opening its first Asian flagship on Wellington Street in Central. This isn’t your average froyo. The base is made with authentic Greek yogurt and goat’s milk kefir (strained, never powdered) for a texture that’s impossibly smooth and creamy, with just the right tang. Top it with Sicilian pistachios, Madagascar vanilla, rich cocoa or orange blossom honey. The in-house kitchen churns out fresh yogurt and artisanal toppings daily, with seasonal flavors rotating every month. Think praliné crunch, fleur de sel chocolate crumble, reduced-sugar baklava and fruit compotes. Trust the manifesto: “It’s not froyo, it’s MYKA.”

Chill Hill
The frozen yogurt craze continues with the opening of Chill Hill. Tucked inside a chic self-service coin laundry in Sai Wan, this spot lets you treat yourself while your laundry spins. Chef-owner Shena Wong brings her Le Cordon Bleu training to a “real” froyo made with 100% pure Australian yogurt and French cream. Unlike conventional soft serve, which relies on water, emulsifiers, and artificial air for volume, Wong uses a dense, homemade yogurt brick and natural dairy fats for an exceptionally creamy texture that balances the yogurt’s tang – no artificial oil or trans fat.
Curated Creations from HK$50 include Very Berries (açaí with mixed berries, mango, honey, and vanilla) and Medi Delight (tahini, pistachio, date, and honey); build-your-own cups from HK$40.

MADÉ
French madeleines boutique MADÉ has opened on Lyndhurst Terrace in Central, putting a modern spin on the classic pastry. Fresh off an August soft opening, the French boutique now rolls out its signature plump silhouette, engineered through custom molds that dial up the crisp‑to‑soft ratio. Inside the sleek Central space, a 12‑hour maturation process and nonstop small‑batch baking keep every piece warm, tender and fresh. Seasonal drops like Over the Moon join a rotating lineup of six flavors. Pouches of 3 start at HK$98; boxes of 6 from HK$180.
