White taro snowflake ice @ 糖仁街 China Town Dessert

Initially intended to visit another dessertery nearby, but due to limited time, I came here.

Anyway, ordering snowflake ice, has now become similar to ordering car noodles, choosing your ice flavour, toppings, fruits, sauces etc.

I ordered the Taro flavour as my snowflake ice flavour, and chose 4 toppings: caramel pudding bits, angel jelly (which is just grass jelly), green tea pudding, and rainbow pearls, and had black sugar syrup as sauce.

The taro snowflake was white in colour, rather than purple, so probably it was flavoured by taro oil essence rather than the powder used in the Taiwan milk teas.
It didn’t taste very strong of taro, but there were slight hints of it. As for the toppings, the green tea cubes had a texture of milk pudding, the rainbow pearls just had the normal chewy texture with a hint of citrus in it, yellow with lemon, green with lime and orange with orange. The rainbow pearls were not on the ordering form, you need to enquire for it.

The grass jelly, was a bit bland, but I preferred it that way with my dessert, or the strong taste would over power the sweetness. The caramel pudding bits, was slightly different, they were like hard gelatin, and quite sweet, cut to tiny rectangles, clear brown for the caramel, and the custard colored bits for the pudding.
