| - This is a wonderful dessert restaurant with many options to choose from; either traditional desserts or ones with a more modern twist. Weekend evenings are probably the busiest for them though weeknights after dinner can get busy as well. It is a family business and run efficiently. I've had their sago items, both kinds of "pancakes", and their durian milkshake.
The sago items are refreshing. The mango one in particular is really good. They actually take the time to ripen the mangoes when they're not in season so they are definitely focused on getting the quality right. There's nothing like mango sago during the winter. The green tea sago with red bean is all right, I find the mochi topping is a bit tough.
The pancakes are by far the best among the GTA region dessert places. Other establishments will either give you less fruit or less whipped cream/cool whip, or the crepe skin is too thick, but Sweet House nails it every single time. The pancakes are literally bursting with cream and you get a generous portion of fruit. Again, they make sure their mangoes are ripe before serving and if you're not sure, just ask. They are more than willing to tell you whether the mangoes are ripe enough for service or not.
Lastly, the durian milkshake is incredible. It is a rich durian flavour with small chunks of durian left in the milkshake for you to chew on. I've tried quite a few, including the one at Golden Turtle downtown, and this one is by far the best. If you love durian, you will not be disappointed.
