Tiny Sweetie - Glutinous Rice Blobs!

Having come to the realization that food establishments closed relatively early out in Sydney, I…read moredecided to attempt my search for a dessert spot with later hours out in Chatswood, which was just a ride away on the train. Thus I turned up Tiny Sweetie. I'm partial to Chinese dessert soups, so I was looking forward to our visit to this rather tiny shop. We lucked out as a table emptied shortly after our arrival just a bit after 9pm. My DC had done his own research and found out that Tiny Sweetie was known for their homemade glutinous rice balls. These would be made to order and so would take 20 minutes, but we decided that the wait would be okay since we would be sharing. We started with the Black Rice, Red Bean, with Taro & Coconut Milk $5.50 and the Steamed Egg Custard $4.50, as they worked on the Peanut Glutinous Rice Balls (6) in Ginger Soup $5. The dessert soup was nice, though the black rice a bit scant. The steamed egg was warming but lacking in smoothness, perhaps due to a bit of overcooking. Their rice balls were tasty and worth the wait. 3.5 stars.

I've been dying to find an affordable HK dessert cafe. I found this place on a whim and, feeling a…read morelittle homesick, I ordered the black sesame soup to remind me of my mom who drank that stuff every other night. Definitely called my mom that night :) Prices are incredibly cheap and the quality is pretty good but slightly on the watered-down side. I've tried the red bean cooler (a mountain of ice with red beans and evaporated milk) and almond tea with lotus seeds, both which were good. Super small space that fits roughly 20 inside and 6 outside. You'll find a range of customers, from the lone guy who needs a quick dessert break, to small groups who wanna grab dessert after an outing.

I only knew about passion tree because I saw a pic on inst Abram of their watermelon shaved ice,…read more which looked very impressive. It was a watermelon half topped with a shaved ice and sorbet and then surrounded by watermelon balls. Definitely instagram worthy! The place is hard to find, which was troublesome for us and our reliance on google maps. The decor is really bright and fun, with chairs hanging from the ceiling- pretty cool and chill atmosphere. I was so sad to find out that the watermelon shaved ice was no longer on the menu, being replaced by a pineapple version.. But oh well, they had Hong Kong honey toast and other things. We chose the Hong Kong toast, the adzuki bean shaved ice and a peach Earl Grey ice tea. After spending a few minutes for photos (the presentation was pretty nice) we dug in. I have to say, the honey toast was on the small side because you'll find ones double or triple the size in Hong Kong, but it was really rich and delicious which it should be. The honey was more like a butterscotch, very fragrant and creamy. The bread was a buttery brioche type bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. The thing that really sets it off was the flaked almonds because the rich nutty toasty flavour adds that extra depth. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the shaved ice because I prefer the fresh, fruity shaved ices. This one had a lot of different flavours like adzuki bean, toasted crunchy nut (?), some peanut buttery sauce, mini mochi, toasted almonds and other random things. Once you stir everything together and mix it with the ice it looks like a hot mess, really gross looking. Those flavours mixed together can work, but not with the watery ice puddle mixed with it. Watery and creamy... Thus us why I prefer fruit shaved ice. This was a miss and I ate the toast instead. The ice tea was nothing special, slightly artificial peach flavour with a hint of tea and way too much ice. No Bergamot flavour which is standard in Earl Grey. Not worth the $5-6. Overall, nice relaxing place that's a bit hidden away. The honey toast was surprisingly good but the shaved ice wasn't at all and neither was the ice tea. Total order came to $30. I feel that if you know what to get then it will be a better experience overall.

Perhaps I've just been trying the wrong things, but I haven't found myself going back for seconds…read moreof anything. Pretty standard stuff, and if there was any reason to go back, I think it'd have to be for the Matcha Mochi Pancakes which I am yet to try but look so good. They do seem to stock the cakes from Passiontree Velvet which I've tried at Macquarie Centre where the carrot cake was very very nice. However I haven't tried the cakes here, instead had one of their fizzy drinks, coffee, macarons, and a bingsoo. Nothing outstanding. The ade was particularly average. Also wifi is lousy here, doesn't even work properly.
