| - First time going to this place. I have heard a lot about it as it is a Chinese theme dessert opened in montreal. Some good some bad, so I don't have high expectation due to past experience of Chinese dessert in montreal.
It was a cold winter night when my friends and I went. So I wanted something warm, I ordered my favorite and usual traditional Chinese dessert whenever I go to a dessert place; sesame soup (????- not all place can make it good, when they do, they know what they are doing. But unfortunately, they don't have it or ran out or whichever. Then I wanted to try the stew papaya egg white with milk, but they don't have whole papaya.....:( so I ended up with mix assorted sweet dumplings, nothing special, felt like those frozen one which you can purchase at any Chinese supermarket.
My friends ordered mango sagon mix, which it's decent, nothing special and the mango is sooooo sour!!! And as my sister said, the image is not instagram quality. Does not look very appetizing so we don't bother taking picture of it.
I also ordered the mango crepe, surprisingly, it's decent but the crepe does not taste like it is freshly made as in it taste pre-made or packaged. Ironically, a Chinese dessert place has better western/fusion dessert better then Chinese dessert.
The place design is okay; cute comfy theme but I found the chair and tables seem a bit cheap for a newly opened restaurant.
The menu is huge which I found it to be a bit too much; confusing of what to try. I think they should concentrate on quality instead of quantity. But it is a gimmick to lure people to go back to try other desserts on the menu.
Service: I found the service is bad, the waitresses just doesn't seem like they care and the chef does not know what they are doing. I ordered two things then they told me they do not have, no recommendation, no nothing, just simply walked away. Usually when you don't have the dish on the menu, you inform customer at the beginning or recommends something else. There weren't even busy when we went. The dumpling I ordered have a choice of either ginger soup base of coconut milk base and I forgot I can pick. The waitress didn't bother to clarify and just gave me coconut milk - that dumpling is usually eat with ginger soup so it keeps you warm in winter time from what I know.
I've always hoping to have a decent restaurant focusing in traditional Chinese desserts such as sesame soup, herbal essence jelly, etc. but a lot of time it's disappointing. And so is this one. But I would still recommend it to try if you are in mood of Chinese dessert and don't want to drive to Toronto for it. Surprisingly this restaurant is from Toronto, but the quality is not as expected.
The only thing that attracts me to return again is the shave ice: one of my other favorite! But with such service, I'm not too sure.
