Sweet and Sour Chicken on rice on a plate with chopsticks besides the plate

I’ve been on an Asian food flare. After having such a successful Lo Mein dish, I wanted more. 

Now that I’ve collected a few great Asian recipes, I am thinking of doing an all Asian dinner with friends; just need to think of a good dessert. Do you guys have a suggestion for a good Asian dessert?
