As we entered, we were greeted by a glass shelf filled with miniature setups. The interiors were nice, with neon lights that reminded us of Taiwan and Hong Kong at night. Even the cushioned chairs were of vintage style.
We ordered warm peanut sticky balls and a cold bowl of Purple Lover. Both were delicious, very flavorful and freshly made. We paid $24.05 including tip.
Service was pleasant. The server even offered a glass of warm water because he noticed we were cold. The food was also served quickly.
We will definitely come back

Not a lot of seating, esp for big groups more than 4 people. But I appreciate that they don't rush you out the door as soon as you finish eating/drinking. The drinks are just ok, perhaps other desserts are better?

Tried their steam egg pudding and mango sago pudding. Everything was great but I wish they didn't fill the mango sago up full of mochi, there was too much.

I placed an online order ahead of time for pickup at 7:00 PM on October 1, 2025—right when the doors were scheduled to open. I arrived at 6:55 PM and waited outside. By 7:02 PM, the doors were still closed. Two staff members were clearly visible inside and made eye contact with me multiple times, yet neither made any effort to acknowledge or assist me. I tried signaling that it was already 7:06 PM and I was just there to pick up my to-go order. Still, both employees stood there watching me without taking any action. One staff member even approached the door briefly, then turned around and walked away. After several attempts to get their attention through body language, someone finally opened the door and casually mentioned they were open—the door was just “too heavy,” making it seem like they were still closed. At that point, their “Open” sign was still off, even at 7:08 PM. This was a frustrating and disappointing experience. A simple step outside to check on a waiting customer would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left standing outside, ignored, for over 10 minutes. Terrible service. Not to mention, the restaurant was.empty at the time but none of the two employees wanted to step up.

this place is good. there are a plethora of asian desserts to choose from. the taste is authentic and delicious. i like how the syrup/sugar comes on the side so you can adjust it to your liking. i’d like to come back to try other options.

Late night (open 7pm - 11:30 pm) Chinese dessert place on Kingsway! Many choices from tofu pudding to sweet soup to various drinks. We all have room for a dessert after dinner, don’t we? Mango grapefruit sago was very refreshing and light!

Good place for a Hong Kong style dessert. Hot almond milk is great, next time without sugar. Egg white pudding turned out to be surprisingly awesome.

I had been hearing about this Hong Kong-style dessert spot for a while and finally got the chance to visit—and it did not disappoint! The interior is eye-catching and creative, with mahjong tiles used as part of the wall décor, giving the space a playful yet modern vibe. The seating is comfortably spaced out, and the entire shop is clean and well-maintained, making for a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
We tried several desserts, including the durian sago (榴槤西米露) and mango sago (芒果西米露)—both were refreshing, creamy, and packed with fruit flavor. The durian version was rich and aromatic, perfect for durian lovers, while the mango sago was smooth and fragrant without being overly sweet.
We also had the black sesame and cashew dessert (芝麻腰果露), which was warm, nutty, and comforting—a great contrast to the cold sago options. But the highlight was definitely their signature mahjong red bean coconut pudding (麻雀紅豆椰子糕). It didn’t just taste great—it looked exactly like real mahjong tiles! The texture was soft and smooth, with the gentle sweetness of red bean and coconut perfectly balanced.
Overall, it was a delightful experience with both creative presentation and solid traditional flavors. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more!

Cute place with a nice atmosphere. The mahjong pudding is so fun to eat but the flavor isn’t quite as good as looking at it.
We also got the sesame paste + some other nut paste. I thought that one was great and I’d totally get it again.
We got the Ovaltine from the Hong Kong style drink part of the menu. It tasted a bit bland from too much water and was disappointing since some of us are from China and were craving this.
