| - Right outside of Jane Station, on Bloor Street, is a special little place that sells a dessert type that I don't think gets a whole lot of recognization but really should.
Thai Desserts.
Truth be told, for the amount of food places I've been to...this one was a new experience all around.
Entering into the shop, it's a tiny little shop with a couple tables on the right as well as a counter top, with an array of different Thai desserts...none of them I'm familiar with.
I had a sample of the one with Pandan in it, which was gelatinous but really subtle in sweetness and it was really tasty. Another one, which I ended up buying was this Casava treat, again gelatinous, but the toasted coconut was really a nice compliment to the starchiness that is called Casava (I'm sorry for butchering the spelling for this).
I bought a Thai Iced Tea and I thought the Iced Tea was really really good in flavour and the nice orange-y colour when the milk and double steeped tea is mixed together but I thought it was 2 shades over on the sweet side. Tone down the sugar level and I think you have a BIG winner right there.
I think they are only accept cash (I didn't see a credit card terminal machine) so ensure that you bring some cash.
I'm more than inclined to come back again and try the rest of what they have. I'd encourage, at MINIMUM, you make a visit there. It's unique, it's runned by people that are earnest, sweet and pleasant to be around, and plus they're desserts. How do you refuse a dessert, hmm?
