Although this is the first one to open in hong kong serving snow flake ice, the long queues deterred me to come, finally another branch has just opened in Hong Kong, so I had to take this opportunity to try it before the congestion starts.
I feel fortunate I didn't go to the Mong Kok one and queue for it, because after trying 6 dessert houses including this one, I felt that other places offered more choices.
The only thing I liked was their mini white flour balls (tong yuen), cute in size and rather chewy, unlike the ones I had at Mr Sweetheart, which were rather soggy.
However the white pearls here were too soft, and less chewy.
I also tried the Aiyu jelly, it was light and melts in the mouth, not as firm as Fangfiona describe, but probably due to the ratio of ingredients when making of it.
I just felt their "pick your choice" forms could be printed better, the chinese characters are all blurred together. (see pic)
For menu design, Mr Sweetheart must be praised for, as the menu has clearly been given thought to it, also it has English as well.
In terms of portion size, quite reasonable, and texture was reasonable.
However the one in Yuen long called "min min bing" is just like ice-cream, and not worth travelling for it.
Lately, the two at TST, China Town and Sweet C. C are quite good too, also with plenty of choice, both serving taro flavour, the one at China Town is white, and the other one is purple.
