So when my friends and I were debating where to go for dessert after dinner on Wednesday, I was really glad that someone suggested Mabu Station! The decor at this cafe was very cute, and I really enjoyed everything we ordered! I can't wait to come back again!!
Mabu Station actually has two stores right beside each other. One of them looked like all the tables were taken, so my friends and I went into the other one. When we went in and asked, the waitress told us that the two stores were exactly the same. There's street parking right outside the restaurant. It's metered parking on Yonge past 6pm on weekdays, and free parking after 10pm.
The menu was huge. There were sooo many items to choose from, and lots of unique items that we wanted to try! After a long decision process, we ordered 2 drink and 3 desserts. The drinks were good, the desserts were awesome! We ordered the following:
- Mabu Special Honey Toast w Ice Cream. When we ordered this, the waitress told us that this would take around 40 mins, and it actually did take that long. We had time to kill anyways, so we didn't really mind the wait. The portion is pretty big. The toast comes out in a big tower, with an huge scoop ice cream on top, and sauce drizzled all down the side. The sauce was nice and warm. The toast was crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. The toast with the sauce and ice cream was just the prefect amount of sweetness.
- Red Bean, Barley, Mix Q Ball, Mung Bean & Condensed Milk Ice Crush. This came out in a huge bowl. All the toppings were good. My favourite would definitely be the red bean and barley, it complimented the sweetness of the condensed milk ice crush very nicely. I also really liked the chewiness of the Mix Q Balls.
- Egg Milk Pudding in the Eggshell. This was decent, but the ones I've had in Taiwan are definitely much better. Since it was $6.99 for only 4 puddings, I don't think I would get this again.
I can't wait to come back and try the other items on their menu!
