Flame on the iceberg

Flame on the iceberg

Flame on the Iceberg is a dessert popular in Hong Kong, similar to Baked Alaska in Western cuisine. Decades ago, the delicacy was served only in high-end hotel restaurants, but today it can be tasted in many Western restaurants and even in some" cha chaan teng".

The dessert is an ice cream ball in the middle of a sponge cake, with cream on the top. Whisky and syrup are poured over the top and the ball set alight before serving.
