I was debating between frozen dessert from Matcha Cafe Maiko or Soft Swerve at Tangram. So I was at…read morethe Matcha Cafe Maiko in Chinatown fairly recently and since the powerful and compelling matcha soft serve was top of mind, I opted for Matcha Cafe Maiko. Plus, it's right there when you approach the food hall. A nice employee handed me my cone ($10.07 including tax) not too long after I'd placed my order on one of the tablets. But I was disappointed since the flavor was weak and not what I enjoyed previously. I wonder if the machine was acting up; the consistency seemed slightly melty too. Anyway bummer, guess I should've gone with Soft Swerve after all.

3.5 stars I think…read morethis Malaysian kuih stall has potential, but it can be a hit or miss. They sell variety of asian inspired cookies, chewy kuih deserts, basque cheesecakes, drinks, and small single serving fruit tarts. They have an OK variety of sweets available for their Tangram stand, but it did seem like not many frequent this stall. The worker there at the day was nice but didn't really explain what the flavors were (I had to ask). They had a few promos (some non-descript until you look closer at the tiny signage they have). I got the buy 2, get 1 free kuih sets. I opted for the smaller sets (Each small set ($5) includes 2 pieces & a dipping pandan creme). I got a variety of flavors like coconut, pandan, peaflower, red bean, and corn. Overall, the taste was good, but I can tell that after a day, it would not have been good and would have needed a 10-20 second reheating in the microwave. Some of the negatives were that the pieces were cut inconsistently, set types were inconsistent with # of pieces (1 small set had 4 instead of 2), and the pricing per piece is a bit high ($2.50 per piece). The pieces were also a bit on the sweeter end (felt like 80% sweet). I think the Buy2Get1Free is a good deal, but would eat it same day in the future if you were craving sweet chewy Malay desserts.

4.5 stars. This Southeast Asian dessert kiosk is located on the ground floor inside Tangram mall…read more Some of the items featured in the display cases were various kinds of kuih, roll cakes, Tiramisu, Basque cheesecakes, cookies, tarts, custards and premade drinks. We ordered: Pandan Basque Cheesecake: the first thing you'll notice is the vibrant green color and signature burnt top. It had a subtle pandan flavor, soft, creamy and smooth interior. Rose Lychee Tart: this was filled with rose mousse and topped with pastry cream inside a crispy buttery tart shell. It's such a pretty looking dessert which tasted good. Pistachio Tart: Also filled with mousse and topped with pastry cream, this one was my favorite. The pistachio flavor worked really well, and I preferred it over the rose lychee. The buttery tart shell was excellent in both. Kiuh: These bite size desserts were soft, chewy and not too sweet. We got ones with Pandan and coconut, one with just pandan and ones with tapioca balls. The ones with tapioca balls had a slightly firmer texture and had more bite to it. $7 Daily Combo: Includes a drink and either a cookie or kuih. We chose the jasmine longan tea and pandan kuih. The tea was really refreshing with just a hint of jasmine and slight sweetness from the longan. It was served in a clear plastic soda can. We really enjoyed the items we ordered but there were so many others we wanted to try like their pana cotta and various tiramisu. Looking forward to trying those on our next visit.

My friend went for the meat floss jiangbing, and she liked it. The variety here is solid, and flavor-wise, it's a full 5/5 for me. That said, the price leans on the steeper side for Flushing's jiangbing scene -- at $8, it's a $2 bump from the usual $6 elsewhere. Sure, it's not the best bang for your buck, but hey, it's still a bang... If you're in the area and craving jiangbing that doubles as a mini hand warmer, Mojoilla Fresh is worth a stop!

I got a Fresh Coconut Water Cup with Meat and a Himalayas Blossom drink with crystal boba. I especially liked the fresh coconut and it's cool how they neatly carve out the meat in a perfect ball. The coconut water was refreshing and the meat was fresh, sweet and soft.

I got the ($14) Pandan jelly with Mango & Durian (sago pearls & coconut milk). I ordered it to go thinking the dish would be too big to finish, but it's actually very light and refreshing, and not heavy at all. There were diners there sharing one large shaved ice and I assumed most of the dessert soups would be just as big. But usually Chinese desserts are not overly rich or heavy. The staff said that they could switch out the Durian for extra mango, but they were nice enough to pack a little bit of Durian on the side for me to dry - and no! The whole dessert doesn't smell like durian. Everything was packed extremely well - the liquid was in its own little dispensing pouch. Very nice attention to detail. Pandan is an herby vanilla flavor from Southeast Asian. I think The noodles were made out of rice flour? It was like a soft creamy pudding thick noodle. You can easily scoop into them alongside the mango, coconut milk, sago pearls. Every part of the dessert was very fresh and not too sweet! Had to control the late night snack, and save the rest for the next day. Don't think this kept well, there was a lot of liquid that seeped out of the tapioca pearls or noodles (delicious pandan flavor still!)? But it still wasn't too stiff the next day. Excited to try as other items like the ginger, milk, pudding, but I think I made an excellent choice with this dish, and the price point seemed high at first, but each ingredient to be made fresh on the same day. I'll be back! Curious about the hot café foods too.

I tried the durian mango coconut pudding, the taro with mochi dessert, and the ginger pudding and…read morethey were all bangers! Flavor profiles were hitting in all directions I didn't know which one to pick as my favorite! Durian mango coconut pudding - Durian wasn't overpowering at all and the mango shined in this dessert. The mango was nice and sweet, yet tart, soft and not at all unripe. The durian bits were creamy and custard-y, while the coconut pudding served as the perfect base for the dessert. Light and smooth Taro with mochi dessert- This was a taro sweet soup and had the consistency as black sesame soup. The taro was potent and the aroma was very prominent. The mochi was nice and soft, yet chewy. I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. Ginger pudding - Utterly delicious. The ginger flavor and taste was insanely strong and the pudding was jiggly soft. Not too sweet and almost tasted spicy in a sense from the ginger. Super solid pudding. I'd come back just to get this again honestly.

I…read moreappreciated how they offer a wide range of Chinese classic desserts to ones with more modern twists. Loved how they weren't too sweet and how the textures were preserved despite getting take out! Mango Pomelo Sago 杨枝甘露 - classic, tangy and lightly sweet from the mango, chewy Sago Makkee Deluxe 麦麦大满贯 - loved the brown sugar flavors of the peach gum and crunchiness of the grass jelly. Appreciated the ratio of ingredients along with the textural contrast of the slurpy peach gum, slightly mushy mung beans and chewy potato mochi balls! Taro Black Sticky Rice Mochi Fresh Milk 香芋黑米麻薯鲜奶 - how can you not like the chewy almost-drinkable mochi?? The sticky rice was also chewy with just a crunch and nicely cooked. Taro Coconut Sago 香芋椰汁西米露 - a little off with the coconut milk to ingredient ratio but I didn't mind the extra taro and sago! The containers were all very sturdy! Be sure to give everything a good mix! Would come back the next time I'm craving Chinese desserts!

I wanted to try this place since it replaced Meet Fresh in Tangram Mall, but it was disappointing…read more I went on opening day so they only had two combo menu options: Makkee Deluxe & Mango Snow Black Sticky Rice. The Makkee Deluxe was okay, it had a good amount of toppings like trap balls, red bean, grass jelly and lotus seeds(which I haven't seen before in desserts). The combination of the milk base and toppings was yummy and not overly sweet. If I had to recommend anything it would be this. The Mango Snow Black Sticky Rice was not good at all. The milk base was completely frozen. Although I think the combination of the sticky rice and mango was good, the dessert overall was lack-luster. Both came with a drink, a jasmine milk tea, also nothing special. Since the their opening, I haven't gone back so it may have changed since then.

Jin Xi is a charming little spot in Flushing with Asian desserts and decently-priced lunch options…read more We were looking for a dessert spot that also had savory lunch options and Jin Xi came up in our search. We were particularly interested in their Lunch Combo Series, which is available from 11 am to 4 pm daily. There are two options to choose from - there is a designated list and you can choose one rice dish, one "syrup", and one drink. The other option is one souffle, sandwich, or appetizer, and one "syrup", and one drink. I was very confused with what the "syrup" options were at the time, but realized later it was a dessert We got: * Lunch Combo Series 1) - Thai Pork Neck Rice, Peach Gum Soup, Tangerine Peel Lemon Tea $14.95 - The Husband really enjoyed the pork neck with the purple rice. The broccoli was just steamed though, so there was nothing special there. And it also came with a corn salad. He thought the Peach Gum Soup was a bit different but liked it nonetheless. And the Tangerine Peel Lemon Tea was good too. * Lunch Combo Series 1) - Curry Fried Pork Rice, Pandan Pudding, Passion Fruit Tea - My fried pork with curry sauce was enjoyable too. I liked that it came with a purple rice, which was a nice touch. Mine also came with steamed broccoli and a corn salad. I do wish there was a bit more curry sauce though. The Pandan Pudding was yummy and I really enjoyed my Passion Fruit Tea. We found the Lunch Combo Series is a real great option since you get a main, dessert and a drink for less than $15! * Thai Spicy Coconut Cooking Pot, Beef Slices $14 - The Little Guy liked this dish, but it was spicier than he expected and thought there would be a stronger coconut milk taste to it. * Thai Pandan Pudding $9 - The Little Gal thought her dessert was pretty good. It's served with a white sauce that you'll need to pour over the dish. I think getting a few desserts and sharing them would be a great option here. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Jin Xi. I know most people visit for their desserts, but their savory options are worth checking out too. The wait may seem a bit longer for their hot items as other Yelpers had mentioned since they use an electric stove instead of a gas one.

While in the area for bubble tea, I broke down and caved in to my sugar craving even before I got to the bubble tea store @_@ (see my separate upcoming review for YAAS Tea)...the little plump round ice cream-filled mochi characters on their logo were too cute to resist! Walking into the store, I was astonished by the size, there is an open foyer area with shelves of unpainted ceramic figurines in the shape of popular labubu, Sanrio and other cute characters. Apparently they hold paint nights here and you get a free scoop of gelato with a figurine purchase. They range from $15-25 per figurine and combo packages are available. Seems like a pretty good deal. There's plentiful seating for about 2 dozen people available at tables seating 2-4. On the right side of the store there's a counter with ice cream display and ordering counter. In the furthest back are a few claw machines. Getting to the ice cream :) ordering my matcha ice cream $6.00 in a mochi wrapper +$1.50 was easy with the staff at the counter, they answered a couple of my questions and let me film them wrapping the mochi. The matcha flavor was a good strength, you could taste the grassy, lightly bitter flavor of the tea. The wrapper was thin enough and chewy, it did remind me of the skin on the frozen ice cream mochis bought from the store, a little thicker, definitely more fresh. If a couple things, 1) I would say it was kinda hard eating this with a plastic spoon, the mochi was getting stiffer due to the cold. I had to really dig in with force. 2) where the mochi skin overlapped there was quite a bit of it to get through, a little dense at the end. Otherwise I enjoyed this treat!

We chose: - Black Sesame - Matcha - Biscoff - Cookies and Cream - Ube All the flavors above were excellent, except for Ube. This was disappointing since I really love Ube but it has no Ube taste at all. It tasted more like cotton candy with fake sugar. It was the one ice cream we couldn't finish and that's rare for us. Avoid this flavor and go with the Vietnamese Coffee. Other option was vanilla. We split a mochi ball with biscoff filling. The mochi was just all right. It hardened the longer it stayed on the ice cream. I probably wouldn't get this again but it was worth a try. The inside of the place is pretty spacious with a few claw machines in the back. They also randomly have Paint Night on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when you get to paint a figurine (labubu, hello kitty characters, and more)! Seemed interesting and at the right price point, I may consider it!
