Been to this famous franchise from Taiwan in other countries, i was super excited when they came to Toronto!
Paid my visit at the new markham store on a Saturday night. And I got seated right away (my last experience at the Hong Kong store consisted of a 45min line up before we go seated and was limited to a 2 hr seating). Looked through the menu and i wasnt too impressed. A lot of the items i liked in the hk location wasnt on this menu. We went ahead and ordered two desserts to share and a drink. There is a mandatory 1 order per person.
What i ordered:
Strawberry waffle
Matcha fried toast
Passion fruit tea
The two desserts were okay. Dont think i would order them again though. But i loved the passion fruit tea. It came in a pot infused with fruits! Perfect amount of sweetness. Served with a small little tea cup with fruits inside. I wanted to share so i asked for another cup and they also put fruits in the extra cup. That was nice of them.
As for the service, the serves didnt speak english that well, so i offered to speak mandarin and she was glad i did lol their closing time was 12am on a saturday, but they made their last call at before it hit 11pm. Groups of people walked it at around 11pm and got turned down. But at around 11:25pm a group a 6 walked in and they took them in. I found that kinda rude... and unfair. But yea, nice place to chit chat, not my first few picks tho.
