| - Friends and I contemplated for some time on whether or not to come here due to the many negative reviews and low rating. We decided not to at first but finally we gave it a shot... and... I'M SO GLAD WE DID!
There are 2 Mabu Stations situated right next to each other and it appears that both serve the same stuff. The first one had its seats all filled up so we stepped into the second one. Fortunately, there were still 2 seats left. Oh boy, the traffic here is non-stop! Once a seat is empty, someone's there to fill it up! Very busy restaurant however, service is great.
We ordered the Mixed Fruit with Mango Sago and Ice Cream. Not too sweet and very creamy. Loveeee the sago "pops"! I do wish that they use fresh fruits though especially the pineapples... just one small bite and you'd know it's canned pineapples. However, they do use fresh strawberries and kiwis. We also ordered one of their popular taiwanese sweet bowls: the Grass Jelly with Coconut milk, Peanuts, Sweet potato and Red Bean. Kid you not, we were all confused as to how we were suppose to eat this thing. We got a big bowl of steaming hot "soup" but it turns out to be the grass jelly and a platter of the toppings with coconut milk on the side. So, we had to chop up the grass jelly (with our spoons) in the big bowl then add in the toppings and then splash in the coconut milk. Does not look as good as the picture but it definitely tasted BOMB! I enjoyed it very much since the toppings were not too sweet; the unsweeten grass jelly helped balance everything out. Mind you, this bowl of goody is pretty big. The 3 of us couldn't even finish it!
Saw the other foods that people were eating around me and it makes me wanna come back to try them all. So... I will be back!
Now, I've read many reviews about service being terrible here and that is why this place is marked with the 2.5 stars. Honestly, service is pretty good here. Pretty quick and accurate in terms of requests (e.g. more water, napkins, spoons, etc) and food. Of course, they do not speak fluent English and when they do speak it, it may seem like they're coming off rude but, I truly believe they're not trying to be rude. It's a misinterpretion due to a language barrier. Anywho, they even provide feedback slips for you to fill out at the end so you have a chance to help them improve in certain areas. You don't have to leave a feedback but, they do add a 10% discount if you do!
