I've been waiting for Meet Fresh to open since they were advertised half a year to a year ago. With such a long wait and seeing their photos on instagram, I was excited to try their Taiwanese dessert.
I was slightly disappointed with my meal for the price I paid. I ordered the hot herbal jelly with tapioca, mini taro balls, peanuts, taro, and red bean. Overall the flavours were decent. Not too sweet and a big enough portion. The taro balls were mini so I didn't get the chewy texture that i would've liked. The peanuts came on the side so that was a nice touch. Herbal jelly was smooth but not much flavour altogether with the rest. Taro were big chunks.
I went with a friend when they first opened so we got the mochi for free. I would not recommend them as it's expensive and you end up getting 8 small pieces of mochi the size of your finger. That being said, for the dish to be over 5 dollars, they did not resemble Japanese mochi but rather Chinese rice cake. Texture was soft but not like that of mochi. The white one is better than the dark one as the dark one had some weird chemical like after taste. This was not worth it even when it was free.
Overall, not sure if I would go back as I prefer the other Taiwanese dessert places on yonge.
My friend also ordered their drink and was not completely satisfied. Perhaps I will come and try their drinks but for now, this would not be my first choice.
