    My friend brought me to Pomelo Hat for bubble tea. She knew that I'd like a bubble tea joint that…read morewas exclusively local to Ottawa. This place has the most fascinating mixture of items on the menu to order from. It offers bubble tea. You can also get dim sum, which includes dumplings, har gow, siu mai, steamed custard buns, and spring rolls. In other words, it caters to folks like me who crave all these items all the time. The menu also offers sushi rice bowls. I don't know if it's exclusively Pomelo Hat offerings or if it's under Kiramaki's menu. Kiramaki Sushi shares the same space with Pomelo Hat. This store truly has everything I want and love. It's awesome. Here's the best part. Pomelo Hat has sparkling butterfly pea spritzer. OMG! I absolutely love drinks with bubbles. I didn't have to look any further. I got the tropical sunset butterfly pea sparkling spritzer with coconut jelly. Starbucks, eat your heart out with that drink name! My drink came in one size: large. I got it with less ice and no sugar (it's called minimal sweet here). My friend was kind to take me here, so the least that I could do was get the tab on her bubble tea. She chose a regular strawberry green tea QQ. She could have ordered every topping available on the menu, but she had composure and didn't break my bank. It's funny. I was so into taking photos of my drink with the various plant backdrops at this place that I completely forgot about my bag that I had left here. Oops! Luckily, we were only a few blocks away and nobody wanted my stuff. Technically, we dropped by twice this day. There is bar seating by the window. It's a fairly small space that it's more of a fetch-and-go place. We continued taking photos of our drinks outside. We then walked, sat, and chatted. My drink was so good. It was bubbly and cheerful. It had a cantaloupe base with a subtle sweetness to it. The coconut jelly provided a nice chewy contrast. My drink was so good and perfect on a hot summer day. My friend enjoyed her drink. With QQ drinks, they come with tapioca and your choice of any jelly. I thought that the flexibility was nice. We tend to take our bubble tea the same way, so she went no sugar and less ice, too. I never got around to coming back to try the dim sum. I had been craving dumplings during my vacation and other establishments that I had frequented satisfied that ongoing want. I'll need to come back here and give its all-day dim sum menu a try. This place is on Fantuan. I hope it still is when I come back for more. I loved my bubble tea. I have the lychee rose lemonade sparkling butterfly pea spritzer left to try before I branch into the non-sparkling teas. (264)

Every spring I start craving Pomelo Hat and dragging my friends and coworkers around to try it. They love it too! In spring 2024 I used the last of my Carleton Residence floor budget to bulk order 15 drinks for my students and they loved it and went back for more. Friendly service, great food, but best to pop in for as there isn't much in the way of seating. My favourite drink there is the Yuzu Ginger Seltzer boba which is absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. Fresh lemon slices and bits of candied ginger mixed in. Absolutely delightful. I love you Pomelo Hat!!!!!!

    TL;DR: Cute shop in Orleans selling salads, rolled ice cream, crepes and bubble tea. Signature…read moreSalad was good. I enjoyed the sweet salad dressing. I stopped by Sweet n Salad to grab a salad for lunch on the way to my parents' house (they were craving Chinese food, so I grabbed some combos for them elsewhere, but I was looking for something lighter and less greasy for myself, lol). I got the Signature Salad ($15.99), but substituted the pomegranate seeds with cucumbers. The salad comes with mixed greens, quinoa, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, chicken, pumpkin seeds and Italian seasonings sprinkled on top. I asked for the dressing on the side. The default dressing is their Signature dressing, which I can best describe as a light sweet dressing. I loved that it was on the watery side and was neither too oily nor too creamy/rich. I only used about a sixth of it, but saved the rest to use on my own salads ;) The vegetables were for the most part fresh. Although a few of the lettuce pieces were browning. The chicken was lean breast meat cut into cubes. All the salad ingredients are prepped and ready and they just assemble the ingredients when you order it. There are preset salads or you can create your own with the ingredients they have. Overall the salad was tasty and the portion size was good. The price was a bit high in my opinion, but everything seems to be expensive these days. It's definitely convenient, and there aren't many places in Orleans to get quick meals that aren't greasy or deep-fried, lol. It's one of the healthier options. I'm looking forward to bringing my nieces here to try their rolled ice cream. The restaurant has some seats to dine in, but there's no table service. You order, they assemble your food, you pay, and if you want to eat in, you seat yourself and cleanup after yourself. There are a few tables outside in front of the restaurant too if you want to eat outdoors. The restaurant is in a plaza so there's lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot. (140)

The Long Version: I was wandering around St. Laurent Shopping Centre with my mom when we came across Rio Acai. Initially I thought it was just another place that sold Acai bowls, but upon closer inspection we discovered that they also sold Brazilian snacks like Coxinha, Pão de queijo and Brazilian tapioca crepes. They also had Brigadeiros! We were still stuffed from lunch (from Minda Cafe nearby) but wanted to try something, so we shared a Coxinha ($5.90). It was delicious! It's essentially a deep-fried croquette with mashed potatoes, shredded chicken and cheese inside. It's shaped like a teardrop but we weren't sad eating it at all, lol. In fact we were happy to eat something so delicious. It was flavourful with a crunchy exterior and a creamy interior. Service was pleasant. They are not in the food court, but rather on the main floor near the Shoppers Drug Mart and Toys R Us. They are close to Cinnabon. I'll definitely return to try their other items. I'm especially looking forward to trying their Brazilian cheese bread (Pão de queijo). Lots of free parking at the shopping mall parking lot. (162)

If you're a fan of sushi, you'll probably end up being a fan of this as well. I went with some friends and we each picked up our own bowls. They're fairly generous with their servings, but I do warn that they are slightly on the more expensive side. They have vegan and gluten free options, so it's a great alternative for everyone.

They worked through the line quite quickly but there's not a lot of room to sit for to their seats being right where the line is with the exception of those at the window. For the price of the poke bowl (I did the make your own), it lacked protein and they lacked generosity when it came to toppings. The presentation was nice but I felt very limited in the amount of toppings I could have in my bowl as well as they were stingy. For example, I wanted daikon & she counted 4 pieces for my bowl! Lots of rice so it'll fill you up. Unsure whether I'll come back since it was very delicious but slightly over priced..
