Woohoo! Late night eats and bubble tea in Scarborough. I love little places like this where you can grab a light bite and not be charged outrageous amounts.
This place is run by a mother son team. Son takes care of the business end while mom does all the cooking. She makes everything from scratch, no powdered teas or premade anything here; she even makes her own soy sauce. She takes pride in making food that is "clean, healthy and tastes good". She gave me a sample of her sweet and sour pork chop which was tasty but more sweet than sour, would go well with the combo of rice and steamed bok choy. I wanted to snack so I decided to try the shrimp dumplings, bubble waffle and the iced milk black tea with tapioca pearls.
The dumplings took a while because they were frozen; by the way, you can buy frozen dumplings to take home as well. I had a lively conversation with the cook about the restaurant and her son while everything was being prepared. Took my order to the car to share with hubby. The tea strength was weak but I enjoyed the tapioca pearls which were soft but still had a little chew to them. The shrimp dumplings were so tasty! When I dipped them in the soy sauce, which was sweet, it just gave them a whole new dimension of deliciousness. The bubble waffle had crispy edges and the bubbles tasted like a dense waffle; it had the perfect level of sweetness.
Excited to come back to try more of their drinks, desserts and food.
