The base is a coconut milk smoothie: the taste is rich but could be blended better. Milk Tea: the base is nothing different than a satisfying milk tea base; pearls are the best! Chewy! Overall: Remember to ask for less sugar. 30% won't be too less, or else a sugar cube will be forming in your mouth. Is it my special preference or not, I like it that the sealing of the cup could be easily pealed of for cleaning or drinking with a spoon (smoothies). The only problem is the design of the cup. They make the top larger than the bottom, so you think you still have half of the drink but indeed less than a half. (/＼)

They remembered my usual order and able to accommodate my requests. Lychee oolong tea was on the menu and I like green tea more, less bitter. When I asked to substitute it was not an issue at all! The original bubble waffle is so good! Light and fluffy on then inside and crispy on the outside. A must try! My bubble tea was made to my liking perfect sugar level. I get it at 50% and it was pretty sweet. They're the only bible tea chain that has the Kanten jelly topping. One of my fave bubble tea shop to visit!!

I remember years ago when I first stepped into a real Chinese bakery. Actually, it was probably…read morethe first time in any real authentic Chinese place. I grew up in Scarborough (yes...Scarberia, Scarlem, ...blah) and Chinese food was your standard sweet and sour chicken balls, fried rice, egg rolls and fortune cookies. Thank the Lord that I went to UofT in downtown Toronto. It was an education in people, places, and things!!! I got to experience many flavours of Asia. Especially food from different parts of China and surrounding countries. It was wonderful, but I never liked was their desserts. Always found it artificial tasting, lacking in basic amounts of butter, milk, sugar, even technique. I didn't expect much walking to Hui Lau Shan, however, the business has done a wonderful job of modernizing and making the shop comfortable. Numerous seats and bench for you to plop yourself down and enjoy a meal on tables that have been made by one of the staff's significant other. Fun fact! It turns out that this is a chain from a famous dessert place back in Hong Kong. Here is a wiki on them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_Lau_Shan The story of how this location was put together and opened was quite charming and cute. One of the owners came to Canada over a decade ago and wanted to have her favourite dessert place. Worked with a couple of people and opened up this franchise. Standing next to her husband, they recount the tale of how the place opened and what they wish to accomplish. The main attraction at HLS is the MANGO. They take painstaking steps ensure that they get the right variety and do their best to ensure that it is just ripening. Much detail to the freshness is seen in all their ingredients and finished products - they will not sell their mochi mango balls if they have been sitting for two days. Production must be well thought out. Their are plenty of choices on their menu. So many items in both to go cups and sit down and enjoy goblets. The number of ways they can produce a mango dessert is mind boggling. The way they prepare and plate is well thought out too. My personal experience and review, is based on the hospitality of the place, and the takeout that I had. I ordered a mango pomelo sago drink, and 6 of their mango mochi. WOW!...flavour explosion. Move over ice cream and waffle joints, move over french cafes, and Italian bakeries. Asian desserts have landed! You can really taste the freshness of the mango, the sweetness and just the little tartness that I like. Their sinful mochi is stuffed with a generous chunk of mango and dusted in coconut shavings. You cannot stop at one...or even 2. I had my espresso after the mochi as I didn't want to spoil the taste of each bite. I think that there is an HLS nearby and hope to have the same experience there, but I will make a note to drop by here if I am running through Hamilton. OR hmmm...any Commuting Yelper can pick me up a dozen please!!! Cheers!!!

Calling all Mango lovers out there! Rejoice for a menu filled with mango options from mango sago to…read moremango pancake! The cute little dessert place will surely be a popular spot for late night cravings in the heart of downtown Hamilton. The owner is a cute couple that I was able to chat with. The wife loved this chain of dessert cafe in Hong Kong so much she and her husband decided to open a location in Hamilton. They ensure the freshness of the products they serve and everything is made fresh the day of, even if the process takes longer, their integrity is there. That is why I loved this place! Their Mangoes are perfectly ripe and sweet and they use the smaller mango that has a better taste and texture compared to the big mango that's more stringy and not as tasty so you are paying for quality ingredients. You can just tell by the colour that the mangoes will be sweet. I loved their pomelo mango sago, mango pudding with in house milk sauce and topped with mango chunks, the mango romance is a trio of mango mochi, sago and mango ice cream, a bit of everything to try! My hands down favourite though, would have to be their Mango coconut noodle dessert. I loved slurping the smooth and cool coconut flavoured noodle dripping with their Mango sauce. Boy that's a treat for me because I've never had something so unique and tasty! Durian lovers can enjoy a thin pancake filled with fresh whipped cream and durian. They also sell fruit teas as well. This chain has become popular in China, Malaysia and South Korea. I know that they will continue their success here as well because they are far better compared to chains like Sugar Marmalade, that have tasteless fruits in their desserts from my past experiences. Drop by today and check them out! I'd be here a few times a week if I lived in Hamilton or at least weekly if my wallet allows me to!

I go here for bubble tea every time I come to the mall as it's pretty cheap with their summer special. $2.99 for a small, $3.99 for a large. 50¢ extra for tapioca. It's one of the few places in Cambridge to get bbt, but actually, compared to other places in Waterloo or Mississauga, their tapioca isn't that good. But I really like the renovation. It doesn't even look like a KFC/Taco Bell was ever even there. The interior looks brand new and clean, and very bright with white walls. I was talking to a worker and she said she liked working there because the interior was very clean. Also, the owner is a very nice man, always smiling. Me and my sister got a $1 coupon for our next drink! I recommend their mango smoothies and the Pink Lady smoothie. My favourites. Thick, but smooth enough for it to glide through your straw (which are sturdy, good quality straws might I also add, lol). Although, I don't usually ever get their slushies anymore because they taste a little watery and isn't blended too well, but I might give them a couple more weeks to see if they improve!
