We got their mochi sampler which had four different flavours - mango, durain, purple yam, and chestnut. My favourite was their mango and purple yam but honestly, all were really good! We also got a tub of their mango sago dessert that was DELICIOUS! We couldn't have enough of it. I can't wait to go back here this summer, such a refreshing dessert spot.

The line did move kinda slow and the parking lot is pretty small, so it could be a challenge on the weekends. Ended up getting two mango and two durian mochi. Both were delicious and stuffed with cream and perfectly ripe fruit. The durian is pretty strong though, so you gotta be a durian lover for sure. The mochi itself is where Car's really shined: soft, but still stretchy and chewy. Genuinely incredible texture.

We had such a blast here!…read more We skipped dessert at the restaurant we had dinner at to come here. My wife got the salted Carmel frozen thing on the menu and I got the Oreo toast. Flavor was delicious and so was the presentation. The place is very nice with live edge wood tables and a very notably nice bathroom. We had the place to ourself but I think this would be a fun spot for a group of friends to come as well. The family that runs it is very kind and they took great care of us. Finished off the night with some amazing rooibos tea - highly recommend this place if you are out in Steveston town!!

I wanted to give 4.5 stars to this place…read more Honestly, the mango I ordered was not the sweetest but mango is also seasonal. So I have to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, I was very impressed with how they make the ice. These are not just shaved ice made by water and add syrup like many places. Really high standard place use juice to make the ice and then shaved it. This place I think they use milk to make the ice, So it's very creamy. The corn flakes was a nice touch asking with the ice cream which makes sense. I tried the matcha one too and it was also very good. Love the mochi pieces in it and the matches powder was generous.

Sweet Memory is a Taiwanese spot open late in Richmond with a convenient, shared parking lot…read more Overall, I'd say the savory food and boba felt like huge misses, but the shaved ice was super unique and delicious. I feel like their other dessert options probably have potential and I can see this being an excellent post dinner hang out spot. Turkey On Rice (3.75/5): Rice and gravy was tasty, but turkey was a bit overcooked and kinda chewy. Black Sesame Mochi (3.75/5): This came out piping hot and the flavors were good (can't go wrong with black sesame and peanuts), but the texture of the actual mochi wasn't as chewy as I like. Satisfying, but not anything special. Taiwanese Sausage on Sticky Rice (2/5): Not sure what the red sauce was, but I really was not a fan; too sweet and had a weird funk to it. Taiwanese sausage also didn't have the right texture or flavor, you want the signature big chunks of fat. Pineapple Shaved Ice (4/5): Decently fluffy shaved ice and the pineapple was candied like the inside of a pineapple cake. Grass jelly sat at the bottom of the bowl and added an extra satisfying jello texture. Traditional Fresh Milk Tea (1/5): Way too sweet and the tea flavor was kinda bland. Maybe the other drinks are better.

It was fun to eat on the tatami mats in the back - we got the whole space to ourselves since we came on a weekday. Note that the sets come in 2 and whatever tea you choose is for both people. The set was unique and very filling - it came with a mini unagi rice bowl, matcha yogurt with berries, sweet corn custard, 2xnigiri, and hojicha cake, etc. Their menu changes every few months though so best to check their Instagram to see what's new. Warning: Parking on the lot is 1.5hrs only for the whole day and they are strict and will ticket you - this includes if you are running errands earlier in the day in the same lot and had left and returned. Safer to park in the farther lot for 3hrs of free parking.

The decorations are dated and they have a couch and TV riiiiight behind the ordering counter, lol. God bless the Chinese uncle that owns and runs the place... he and the lady taking the order barely spoke English, so we stumbled with our Mandarin. I think they even spoke Taiwanese with each other?!? Instead of ordering multiple drinks, we just ordered the one mango lover's coconut pudding. Honestly, we didn't know what the heck we ordered and we ordered it to go. It took a little while to prepare, but when it came we were presented with a coconut wrapped in cellophane. We were intrigued and had to open it right then and there. We were treated to a coconut FILLED with fresh mango, mochi, and pudding... all in a fresh coconut - the coconut meat was thin, so you knew it was juicy and fresh! My oldest kid did his best to claim it all for himself as we all wanted a taste. In the end, we did the only thing logical and had to order a second. I would absolutely, hands-down, recommend this place. The family that owns the place deserves our patronage and they've earned it in their own humble way. God bless.

He got a Blueberry Slushy drink and the wheel cake had red bean inside. Drinks are always solid at Peanuts and on the more affordable side too given what many other places will charge for bubble tea drinks these days. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of his wheel cake but that's no fault of the shop. Red bean is something I'm generally not crazy about to begin with. I have learned over the years that I can appreciate red bean as a bubble tea drink if it's all blended up. However, it's the chunks of bean that I don't like, and this wheel cake had chunks of bean in it. Might have gone over better with me if it had been filled with a smooth, red bean paste...no chunks of bean in it. That's just personal preference though. If you're someone who enjoys red bean paste and don't mind chunks, then you might enjoy this Taiwanese wheel cake.
