evaporated milk panna cotta - black tea jely - walnut biscotti - tea LN2 meringue - espresso
I will let wikipedia sum it up first.
Yuanyang or Coffee with tea (often spelled according to the Cantonese pronunciationYuenyeung,[1] Yinyong[2] or Yingyong[3]) is a popular beverage in Hong Kong, made of a mixture ofcoffee and Hong Kong-style milk tea. It was originally served at dai pai dongs (open air food vendors) and cha chaan tengs (cafe), but is now available in various types of restaurants. It can be served hot or cold.[4] The name yuanyang, which refers to Mandarin Ducks, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture, as the birds usually appear in pairs and the male and female look very different.[5] This same connotation of a "pair" of two unlike items is used to name this drink.
I especially like the last sentence about a pair of two unlike items that go together.
The beloved hong kong style milk tea is transformed into a evaporated milk panna cotta, black tea jelly, and black tea LN2 meringue. Still using liptons as the fancy stuff just doesnt taste the same.
The guest pours the espresso (should actually be instant coffee but we are a fancy restaurant after all) themselves over the frozen meringue and there it is, yuenyang affogato.
Very simple and always fun to break out the LN2!
