Sugar Marmalade is an above average establishment in the realm of Chinese desserts.
I had the pleasure of dining-in at their First Markham Place location last night. My companion and I were greeted and seated enthusiastically by their staff. This establishment seats approximately 30 persons; thus, you may have to wait for a table to vacate during peak hours. The decor was particularly nice; decorated with illustrations of their desserts on the black walls. Much nicer than your average, no-frills Chinese dessert hole in the wall.
I ordered the Golden Mixed Sago (E1), while my companion ordered the Mango Pancake with ice cream. I kid you not, 5 seconds after I placed my order, it appeared in front of me.
The time spent with my Golden Mixed Sago is a time I will cherish. I will look back and reflect fondly upon the delicate tapioca pearls floating in the sea of mango juice. I will remember the generous chunks of mango they so carefully placed together, just as the ancient Egyptians carefully placed the stones to construct the pyramids.
Let's not forget about the positive energy radiated by their staff. Every interaction was accompanied with a smile and assurance that your needs would be taken care of. This is level of service is rare when dining at a Chinese establishment; it must not be overlooked.
Sugar Marmalade is definitely one of the sweeter Chinese dessert places one can visit. Try it out and don't look back.
