Just 3 months old at their new location - 313@Somerset, En Dian Xin | 恩点心 is already drawing a sizeable weekend crowd. Regulars may know them from their Shenton Way/ Market Street days - En Dian Xin specialises in oriental-styled desserts (though to some, the name may suggest more affiliation towards dim sum). Having moved over to the new premise, EDX sports a bright, cheery red interior, and I must say, the red chairs really caught my eye!
On to the food, I'd ordered their 杨枝甘露 | Mango Tango & Deep Fried Yam Rolls to cure my munchies, plus an Almond Cream to takeaway for Mous.
The Mango Tango came with a couple of optional add-ons - with extra fresh fruits or ice cream. I had mine "neat" ($3.80) - which in itself came with fresh chunks of mango, watermelon and pomelo. The perfect harmony of flavours - refreshing mango, tangy pomelo and chewy sago served nicely chilled - was just what I needed on a hot, humid afternoon! Superb value at $3.80!

And of course greedy me will never stop at just 1 item! The yam rolls were crispy, yet fluffy and light - filled with a soft yam centre, but also (I'm guessing) bananas which adds a fruity fragrance to the rolls. *bliss*

Mous & I tried the Almond Cream (another popular item on their menu, it seems...) after we got home and we were pleasantly surprised by how smooth it was! The almond aroma was wonderfully intense, yet not too sweet.
There you have it - two thumbs up from 2 true-blue Hong Kongers!
Oh and if you're ever in the area over lunch - they have a weekday lunch set @ $5.50! I can't get a decent meal at that price around my office!! !@#$%^&
