Cozy, cute little desserts shop very reminiscent of those pristine, visually appealing Taiwanese cafés geared for lovey-dovey teen couples and giggle hoards of high schoolers. Tucked between two shops in a Markham strip mall on Highway 7, Dessert Kitchen lives up to the expectations created by its own name. The menu offers both desserts and light Taiwanese-inspired meals, but the true stars are obviously the sweets.
The extensive desserts offering ranges from green tea melts to sponge minicakes to durian (!!!) specials, but many come to DK for the egg pudding. At $1 an egg, filled with a pudding that tastes like egg-tart, there is no guilt in this sweet palate pleasure. 6 egg puddings are enough for most appetites! The puddings are served in the eggshells--amazing presentation.
For the most picky of us, there is a build-your-own-dessert section, that allows customers to combine yogurt or ice cream with the toppings and the syrup of their choice.
Service is quick and polite. Note: CASH ONLY.
Would come back and order a dozen of these egg puddings, if it wasn't for the long commute fr downtown Toronto. There is public transit that stops close to the mall--Markham's VIA bus system.
