| - This place used to be a must-go every time I visited Hong Kong for vacation. Despite their quality dropping over the years in Hong Kong, I still extremely excited when I heard that they were planning to open one in Toronto!
I waited for the hype to be over to avoid the lineups. The location - as mentioned by many others - is a bit weird, as it was located within another Chinese restaurant without their own designated seating. The restaurant itself specializes in simmering hot pots with strong flavoured sauces, and therefore did not match the theme of a dessert place as much, and people often complain that they'd smell like hotpot when they leave the restaurant. However, that did not bother me that much as I was just planning to get a drink to-go anyways.
They didn't have my favourite drink from Hong Kong, but the worker allowed me to add the chewy mochi balls inside the drink as an extra topping. However, they were too large in size for me to be able to eat with a straw. I don't think I expected that much, since most restaurants coming overseas usually are a bit different / not as good as the original. The mangoes weren't the freshest, but overall, I don't think my drink was bad. If I do crave mango desserts in the future, I think I'd still give this place another try and actually sit down this time.
