Mango Mango Desert

Mango Mango Dessert sits at Ala Moana Center on the third floor, a Hong Kong-style dessert shop that opened in New York's Chinatown in 2013 and grew into the global expansion that brought it to Honolulu. The program is fresh-fruit dessert in the Hong Kong tradition: mango sago with pomelo, mango sticky rice, mille crepe cakes, durian bowls, and a drink menu that runs through fruit teas, smoothies, and milk teas. The Ala Moana location runs Mango Sticky Rice and Man-Coco Sticky as menu exclusives, both built on Thai sweet rice steamed with pandan. The crowd is mall foot traffic, post-shopping families, and the late-afternoon group that came to Ala Moana specifically for dessert. Order the mango pomelo sago if you want to understand why the shop has the name it does. Order the mango sticky rice if you came at the Ala Moana location for the version you cannot get elsewhere.
