Desserts: The best part of a meal?

I have travelled quite a bit in Asia and I now look forward to eating dessert more than any other part of the meal.

From the Tim Tam cake in Australia, to the likes of Cendol and Bubur Cha Cha in Malaysia, to sakuramochi and taiyaki in Japan, and to the expensive Bird's Nest Soup in China, I just love them all. http://backpackerlee.wordpress.com/2...just-desserts/

I think what makes dessert so interesting in Asia is the sweetness of it all. OK, in Europe and America desserts are sweet too, but we are more used to have sweet things in our diets anyway, whereas in Asia, things can be a lot of more savoury and veg based, thus the dessert is considered a sweet treat!

Are there any particular desserts that you look forward to, in any part of the world?
