Here's a game for you. Look at all the quotes on Sugar Marmalade's decorated chalk drawing wall and replace the word "dessert" with something else, preferably controversial. While you're waiting for your food, you can create great quotes such as: "Communism doesn't ask silly questions, communism understands" and "I'd give up on racism, but I'm no quitter".
And you'll need the entertainment as sometimes, it can take a good half an hour to get your food. The food itself is typical Taiwanese snack fare. Good but not anything special. You've got your bubble teas, your Taiwanese fried chicken, and your warm liquid desserts. As a group, my friends and I ordered:
1) Oreo Pudding - First to arrive as there's nothing really special about it. Creamy cold pudding with crunchy Oreo bits, topped with an Oreo. A little too rich and plain to me.
2) Taiwanese Delight - A warm dessert consisting of coconut milk, grass jelly, sago, and other jelly things. When they say "warm", they literally mean lukewarm. My friend wanted it to be hot so he asked them to warm it up. It took another 20-25 minutes to come back. We're certain that they nuked it and let it sit there because it came back the same temperature. Not a bad dessert though.
3) Steamed egg white and milk - At $4.99, this is a pretty great option (though you can get the same thing at many dim sum places for $2-3). The dessert was smooth, piping hot, and not too sweet. Since it's freshly steamed, it takes a lot longer to prepare, about 30 mins for me.
Overall, 3.5 for decent desserts at a decent price. Great place to come with a group. Slightly long wait times but nothing a good game of "what can communism do for you?" to keep your mind off it.
