| - I swear the Mabu Station restaurant is perpetually packed. Every time I walk pass this restaurant there's always people lining up at the door. This time I came in at around 12:30, only 30 minutes after opening, and my group got the last seat. My friend told me the other Mabu shop next door only opens for dinners, but I guess with the busy traffic even on weekdays, they should consider opening both stores and even opening before 12pm.
I initially wanted to try the marshmallow bread but the server told me it will take 40 minutes of waiting time because the bread is freshly baked. I do like the fact that the bread is fresh but my friend had to go back to work after lunch so I ordered the dessert bowl instead.
The dessert bowl was HUGE. It was like 6 bucks and it contained black grass jelly, red beans, taro, taro tapioca, regular tapioca, peanuts, sweet potato, and much more. They gave me some syrup on the side in case it's not sweet enough, but honestly I feel the dessert was already very sweet. The portion was so huge that I ended up packing a lot home.
My friend got a plant pot. They claimed that the "top soil" is made out of crushed oreos, but its overly sweetness and sugary texture made me think otherwise. This dish (well...pot) has many layers: crushed oreos, ice cream, cake, yogurt, and cake at the very bottom. It's definitely a surprise and what an interesting piece.
The one thing that kinda annoyed me was the service. They were clearly understaffed with only 1 waitress doing most of the work. My friend had to rush back to her workplace after lunch and it took them forever to get the bill for us and pack my super giant dessert bowl. I appreciate the effort of the sole waitress there, but I wish the owner could hire some additional help.
