Why do asians so terrible at dessert? This is probably what holds

I've been wondering for so long and the only conclusion I've reached is that the majority of asians is lactose intolerant, and thus can't consume any milk based desserts (aka most of them, at least where I live)
But I'm sure there's better reasons

Asians great at desserts. You need to move to LA where there's Taiwanese bakeries every mile.

I feel that Asian desserts to Asian tastes are good, like red bean buns, tang yuan, or mochi. When it comes to trying to adopt a Western style though, it kind of slapdash. But well thought out ones are great, like pandan chiffon cake, or egg tarts.

>>7974077
Mayabe because they aren't addicted to the sugared Jew?

>>7974077
My favorite Asian bakeries are either French of Portuguese influenced.

Asian's are bad at deserts so they don't become fat like Amerilards/Clapistanis

Vietnamese bakery master race. Bonus points if they have $2-$3 bahn mi.

I like how light a lot of East Asian desserts feel. Makes me feel less suicidal after eating a single slice of cake.

>>7975294
It's ice.

>>7974077
And you wonder why American are fat fucks

>>7977221
Agreed. Even though they've imitated western desserts, they don't add a fuck ton of sugar and weird colors so I don't feel like shit afterwards.

>the majority of asians is lactose intolerant
When will this meme die? It's literally lumping the largest landmass and group of people into one unit and making a sweeping assumption.

Indians are all about their goat and yak milk. The majority of nomadic some northern plains Asians is based entirely around their livestock's milk. When I was in Macau, I was taken to a local delicacy of a steamed milk type dessert bar.

And if you don't like Asian desserts, then I guess you really don't know many of them.

>>7974077
before christian missionaries went to japan, the traditional cultural norm was after a big meal you would take a hot bath and have casual sex in pairs or in orgy. it's hard to care about a dessert when you are literally have cart loads of sex.

So this is japans excuse.

>>7977698
Weebs are actually this retarded.

>>7977338
no one has ever said "asian" and meant "indian" or "hindu". They even have their own continental plate for fucks sake. The are separated the the tallest mountain range in the world, and have a completely divergent culture and appearance.

Get a fucking clue, stop looking at maps. Go eat a rasmalai.

>>7977765
Asians are from the continent of Asia. India was nitpicked, but there was no defense to lumping Korean, Mongolian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Flip etc.

Just fucking stupid. That's like saying Americans, Mexicans, and Canadians are the same thing.

Its not about where they are from, a rubber face is a rubber face.

>>7977912
Sure thing, Pierre.

>>7977969
why you call me that?

I grew up in china and i have to agree with you. Growing up i was never excited about dessert, i always would pass on it because i never enjoyed it. Moon cake is fucking disgusting but thats something i was always "forced" to eat out of respect when the time came. Its shit. We cooked and ate very traditionally. The food in general was great, quite oily, but the desserts were not good.

When i came to USA i was mind blown from the desserts here. Everything is so sweet and bright and delicious, i couldnt believe it.

>>7978048
>Moon cake
what the heck is that?
are you getting fat now from our sugary food?

lol ignroance at it's best.
japan is the second country in terms of medals from international competitions when it comes to desert

my family eats fruit for dessert lol. yes im asian.

Crystal cake is probably my favorite Asian dessert.

>>7979519
what's it made of?

>>7977247
Always wanted to try this. I had green tea pocky once but it just sort of tasted like sugar.

>>7979554
seeing as its an asian dessert. im guessing its some kind of rice flour cake with a red bean filling.

>>7974492
I disagree. There's a few Asian supermarkets around, one of which...well, as a not-Asian, I get weird looks going there. Most of their bakery's dessert items are essentially breads with a tiny hint of dessert-ness. Maybe a layer of some flavored paste, like mango or something, but it's not enough to really taste it.

>>7979755
I agree with you anon.
I lived in LA for years and thats why I hate asian desserts

>>7974077
You poor soul obviously never heard of japanese dessert-chefs/bakers in your village. Everywhere you go nowaday japanese people do classic desserts better than the originals

>>7977247
Green tea ice cream IS good.

>>7977338
Are steamed taro or red bean paste buns considered desserts? I love those things.

>>7983513
Japanese sweets are pretty mild, but there's a wide array of them.

There is an aggressively competent French tradition here too, as you noted. They're generally great

>>7974077
Because East Asians (China, Korea, Japan) didn't traditionally have desserts in western sense.

They didn't eat rich, sugary breads after eating a meal. They maybe had a fruit or two sliced up for everybody to grab a piece.

Sweets in eastern cuisines were served at tea or festivities, not really meant to be eaten after a full meal.

So, the taste and the form was developed to go along with tea, not complement a main course.

>>7983579
we arent living in huts anymore, let need to get with the rest of us and make some sweetz

Asian desserts are invariably disappointing. Especially from Chinese bakeries.

I went to a Korean dessert place and the menu looked really good. Some stuff looked out-of-place or just plain wrong for desserts, but some items looked great.

We ordered a few things to try and nothing was really good. It's definitely a cultural thing - I don't expect/want bland eggy custard and red bean for dessert.

Tried Tawainese dessert? Or Malaysian Dessert? Or Thai?

When i think of korean desert nothing comes to mind other than good bakeries over there. I think koreans aren't big on dessert.

I wish Malaysian kuih muih would catch on outside the country, theres such a huge and tasty variety.

I bet most Amerifats don't even have a concept of a healthy dessert

Having apples, melons, grapes and other fruits after a meal can be desserts but no one is defending those as desserts

>>7983585
They only had 50~100 years to digest the western concept of dessert and come up with something comparable on their own vs many centuries of desserts being refined further and further in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc., and later in the Americas.

I guess our desserts are just different kinds of sweetness, it's usually a lot more subtle, if a restaurant does serve dessert most if the time it's a soup. Baked stuff like breads and cakes are kind of a breakfast thing. I think my favorite it tong yuan or rice dumplings with sweet black sesame paste inside, it's eaten warm. This pic has some in a soup kind of like an egg drop soup, but flavored with rice wine and fragrant flowers.

In Hong Kong there's places that just serve desserts and you can get all sorts of mango dishes, steamed milk pudding, grass jelly, etc. Just have to explore more!

Dessert soup?
That is just so wrong

Their desserts are a lot different and, yeah, worse. No chocolate, jam, or anything really indulgent, and a lot of fruit and red bean shit. It's not exactly bad, but it's usually a little bit disappointing.

The desserts that have condensed milk and mango are pretty good, like pic related.

should I bite? I dunno

not all Asian desserts are terrible, but it can almost objectively be stated that their imitations of Western desserts fall flat

I've never had a good western dessert made in Taiwan or Japan with maybe the exception of fresh chou creams

Yet there are quite a lot of excellent sweets made to Asian tastes, as another anon said.

Off the top of my head:
Taiwan has pineapple cakes (crispy mini-pies stuffed with sweetened pineapple jam), taro-cream donut holes, sun cakes (soft, flaky with a caramel center), moon cakes with red bean and salty egg yolk centers (far better than it sounds), ice cream and peanut-candy shaving crepes, soup balls (mochi stuffed with sweet sesame or peanut cream served hot) and a few local varieties of ice cream including mango. It's not hard to find something sweet worth eating, but you pretty much have to avoid Western sweets unless you know that a shop is operated by a Westerner.

I think Malaysia also has caramelized sugar based mochi and lots of coconut. I ate Nyonya mochi before with mango and durian flavoring and it was tits. Their goat milk gelato is great too. Also they have coconut milk shakes and if that doesn't sound good to you you're a shit.

Hong Kong french toast is also awesome.

Just read up on that now after reading your post. actually sounds interesting.

thanks for the info.
