Ample of amounts of Sago with a satisfying sprinkling of what seemed like bouncy coconut jelly balls. Mango Pomelo Sago - Just right in the sweetness. Mangoes were not sour. Lots of fruit in every bite. [Bad] Desserts were sweet but I left with a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth as I was not notified there is a 2.4% fee for using credit card. I would've gladly paid in cash otherwise but I guess at Chinese places I should expect to pay cash. [Worth it?] Definitely worth coming back as the prices are reasonable and portion size is big. Just don't pay by credit!

Sweet Tale is a cute little shop in Kennedy Square that serves Chinese-style desserts and cake. We…read morewere craving a cold mango dessert, so we decided to check them out. We did a "make your own bowl", where you can choose your base and toppings. I got coconut milk, mango, sago, and mochi balls. The dessert is simple but had just the right sweetness, however, I feel like portion sizes could be bigger. Service is what you'd typically expect at a Chinese restaurant. The prices are reasonable and there's plenty of seating available as well. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area, however, there are better Chinese dessert places around.

We were looking for Tong Sui (Sugar Water) - Cantonese Dessert Soup. We came across Tracy Dessert…read more It was open late. By route 7 in Markham Ontario. It had the Asian feel with the Ancient Chinese round table and barrel seats. It got busy fast, good thing we made it in before it got really busy. The Tofu pudding was a bit too much ginger for my taste. But the sesame paste and the hot taro with tapioca in coconut milk hit the sugar spot. lol

It was fresh mango. There was fresh fruit. The person at the register was very nice. Price point was fair at about $12 for what I got. I previously got a durian milkshake which was very good as well. They're only open starting in the evenings and going until midnight. Small shop and you have to wait for them to prepare your dessert with a buzzer and they will call you when they finish. I would come back if I was in the area and craving dessert and a heartbeat.

The marshmallow toast had a warm, crunchy crust and a soft, marshy filling that was really satisfying. The mango shaved ice was packed with lots of ingredients, creating a fruity yet creamy flavor. It was refreshing and felt like the perfect summer dessert. I really like this place and probably will go back soon!

Food 3.5/5 Service 3.5/5…read moreAmbience 3.5/5 A busy and popular dessert and snack spot at the First Markham Place. I've been here a few times mostly earlier evenings and it's always busy but we always manage to get a table without waiting long to be seated. We ordered the deep fried peanut butter French toast bites, mango shaved ice, black sesame egg waffle. Our fallback and favourite is the mango shaved ice #1, deep fried peanut butter toast bites #2 and last is the egg waffle. The egg waffle is quite hard and it misses the mark of most egg waffles. I wonder if it becomes hard or has to be cooked harder because of the ice cream topping. I wouldn't order the egg waffle here again. I find that the desserts are reasonably priced compared to other Asian dessert stops in the area. The menu is extensive and has more cold desserts than warm desserts. Service was pretty good considering how busy it was on Friday evening and we were always able to get the attention of a server. Expect that seating is tight on popular evenings.

Servers were inattentive and had to basically yell to get them to come Deserts don't have a hot/cold option for the milk egg white desert which tells you that it is not made fresh at all and outsourced. Since they only have cold available If it isn't made fresh just get it at a Asian supermarket at this point. Would not recommend. Unless you crave like crazy

My wife saw this place on Instagram and wanted to give it a shot since it is close to home…read more We came here to try a few things. Place is nicely decorated, but we did get a little confused off the get go. Menus on the table like some of the dessert places have check boxes it looks like to order your items, kinda looks like those dim sum places where you check things off. The paper quality is really good though and I was like maybe we shouldn't have wrote on it. We did and we are sorry about that :). Now too the food. Tried a few things here. Most items come in a dish about the size of a rice bowl. Tried the red bean dessert. Not bad, good size bowl. We went with the mochi bowl with pomelo pulp, mango and black jelly. This sago dish was quite nice and refreshing. I didn't get much cause. Kids ate a lot of it. Next was the pistachio dish. I loved the crushed pistachios to seperate the whipped pistachio paste and the white stuff (can see in the picture if confused). There was a dish with 4 toppings and an osmanthus jelly underneath that was interesting . Not a favourite with the kids but I found it interesting. Think it's cause it had those Chinese white steam rice cake taste from the fermented rice in the dish. The other 3 toppings were Hawthorne flakes, raisins and peanuts. Dish plated well and lots of textures. Wasn't a fan of the raisins sticking in my teeth but I liked the dish. Tried the hot food , but a warning it is snack size, and not too many items to choose from. We had the popcorn chicken and the Taiwanese sausage. The chicken was tasty and some fat pieces, but it is a small bowl for $8. The Taiwanese sausage was good, but for $9 , it is one or 2 sausages cut up and put in a bowl. There are a few more dishes I want to try, so would go back again. After tax and tip, this was about a $75 visit.

New Chinese dessert places in Markham. Simple interior and has a great variety of desserts options…read more However, Staff are a bit rude and waited for a long time to even just get a tea. We ordered Pumpkin Puree with Mochi & cream and Snow Fungus & Pear Soup. Both looked good, however the taste was not good. The pear and papaya were sour and the pumpkin puree didn't taste fresh. They told us they have a promotion - Half price for pumpkin and nourishing collection. However, when we checked the bill, they charged us full price for the nourishing collection. I definitely wont go again especially it is so far from the city, and doesn't worth it.

I have been to this eatery a number of times over the years. It started off being Pho VietStar. The…read moresame owners had CrepeStar two doors down. They ended up buying the business between the two eateries, knocked down a couple of walls, and renamed the place CrepeStar Dessert Cafe and Bistro. This eatery is located at Aurora Shopping Centre. It's a plaza, so the name can be a bit misleading. There is plenty of parking. My orders have mostly been takeout. I came here a lot during the pandemic when you couldn't dine at restaurants. I have ordered a number of items for takeout, including the following: - Pork belly baos (two) that comes with fries - A side order of gravy - Chicken fresh rolls - Spicy grilled shrimp The pork belly baos were yummy! The veggies were crunchy and fresh. The pork belly was tender and flavourful. I would have put more protein in them, but they satisfied my craving for pork belly baos. If you have been reading my reviews for a bit, you'll know that fries aren't high on my list of sides. I'd rather get onion rings, a side salad, or sweet potato fries. However, I was game getting gravy. The fries taste homemade and weren't oily. You can see bits of potato skin on each fry. The gravy was perfect. It wasn't overly thick. It wasn't thin or salty. Just right. I enjoyed this combo. The fresh rolls are huge here! It was smart that they were separated by a banana leaf. The veggies here are amazingly crunchy and tasty. The vermicelli was done right. The chicken was tender and flavourful. Again, I feel that there could be more protein in it. Maybe I'm just a protein hog. The spicy grilled shrimp are yummy. They were plump and flavourful. My food was impeccably packed and tasted so fresh with every bite. I have dined in once. I had ordered grilled pork belly pho (P8). The owners advised that they were short on pork belly. I got steak, too! The pho here was fantastic. The broth was amazing. The pork belly and steak were tender and flavourful. I loved it! It comes in one size -- generous! I recently came here to pick up Krispy Kreme donuts. They were a part of the Best Buddies Prom drive. This charity that promotes inclusion by creating lasting one-to-one friendships between individuals living with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD and Autism Spectrum Disorder). The owners have an autistic son, so this charity drive was near and dear to them. I ordered a dozen donuts. They were ready for pickup at the end of February. I came here after work. It was easy to speak to a friendly male staffer and tell him my name. He immediately found my order and handed me my donuts. They were Krispy Kreme glaze donuts. You can't just have one. They were so fresh and yummy. Naturally, I looked at the Kawartha Lakes ice cream and sherbet flavours. I decided to get a cup of raspberry sherbet. The cup size was huge! I paid with a debit card. I tapped and was good. I thanked the nice man and headed to my car. I enjoyed my raspberry sherbet. It was delicious and refreshing. Kawartha Lakes does frozen treats right. It's a decent Vietnamese place in Aurora for good eats, which has rekindled my fondness for the town. The sherbet was excellent. I need to return and try the crepes next. (128)

(Didn't know this till after I tasted the drink) I asked her why it isn't with the yellow mung beans she insisted this is the drink! There's a clear picture it's yellow mung beans not long rectangular coconut jelly! I had so look forward to coming for crepes and pho, but makes me doubt how authentic their food is if they can't even make the basic che dessert! The Che ba mau was disgustiing! Imagine coconut drink mixed with sour lime jello that's how it tasted! $9 for 2 drink seemed like a good deal but they have no idea how to make drinks!
