I love Chinese food and I love desserts but I'm 99% of the time very disappointed in Chinese desserts. The 1% is those almond cookies.

Honestly, I prefer the majority of Eastern foods to the majority of Western foods. When I'm eating out it's almost always Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Taiwanese, and even when I'm cooking at home I usually opt for recipes that are the simpler, cheaper, not-high-heat-requiring versions of those cuisines (because my stove is old and weak). But when it comes to desserts it's very much the other way around for me; Western Europe and the US is where it's at. So often with Eastern desserts I find them either blaringly sweet in a way that drowns out any other flavor notes, or not nearly sweet enough. Also they're often texturally challenging, at least for me anyway.

I don't doubt that they are perfectly delicious and satisfying to people who are accustomed to them, but for me and my Western palate it's just not usually what I'm looking for from a dessert.

I totally agree with you.
Also, in addition to Chinese I want to put in a good word for Korean food. I love Korean food.
