Flame on the Iceberg (冰山大火) 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. Whiskey and syrup is poured over the top and the ball set alight before serving.
