The shop itself is very tiny and seating is limited. Upon entering, the aroma of herbal jelly surrounds you and gives off the feeling of a very authentic traditional dessert shop.
Their traditional dessert soups are quite tasty. They have a wide variety to choose from, but most are either a hit or miss.
Their herbal jelly is quite pricey - $10 for a small bowl. Honey even costs an extra $1.20.
The taste was quite good and the herbal taste was very prominent.
The biggest miss for this restaurant is unfortunately their dependency on using the microwave. Since my friend and I sat down, all we have heard was the constant beeping of their microwave. This simply means that they microwave and reheat all the dishes that they are serving.
The steamed rice rolls we ordered were also unfortunately microwaved. Very disappointed as the rice rolls were obviously microwaved even without needing to see it coming out of the oven. The rolls were too chewy and sticky and was not smooth at all.
Overall, I would recommend this place ONLY for their traditional dessert soups. Snacks and savory dishes are a definite miss. Not worth paying the price for microwaved food that came from a freezer.
If you want traditional and authentic Chinese snacks, then I would recommend going to Tracy's Dessert instead. Everything from savory dishes to desserts are delicious there and much more worth the price!
