Snowflake – taiwanese dessert secret

^^ Osup!
I came across this dessert stall at Pavilion, right in front of the Padini Concept Store and decided give it a try coz they are having the Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion. The dessert originality is from Taiwan and they claimed that their ingredients are healthy. They are famous with the taroballs in their dessert which came in two flavours (I think it is yam and sweet potato). How’s the taste? Not bad, I like the chewy feeling of the taroballs (but some people find it annoying).
This is an amazing device that they will give you upon ordering. It’s a beeping UFO that will beeps with lights and vibrates when your order is ready. The small wordings on the device reads:
“BEEPING UFO”
This is a “beeping UFO” that is part of our wonderful alien technology here on SNOWFLAKE. This allows you to chillout while we make your order.
When this baby UFO starts vibrating and flashing,
THAT MEANS IT”S READY !
Please go to the collection counter to retrieve your yummy mouth watering dessert!
Please return the “BEEPING UFO” to the aliens……uh…..i mean the staff at the counter before collections.
THANKS!
Psst….now you know why Taiwan is so much more technologically advanced
…ALIENS…
I wonder how much they spent for the device. I find it cool but it’s quite unnecessary tho. And why are they calling their staff aliens? LOL. And hell yea, all taiwanese are aliens for being technologically savvy. Haha. Okie, back to the dessert, I ordered are the Bestseller, hot and my friend chose the cold one.
Bestseller Hot – NOT RECOMMENDED
(1) It is not presentable.
(2) It smells like those chinese bitter herbal tea.
(3) It taste like those sweet herbal tea (similar to pat chi chou).
(4) The soup gets thicker half way coz of the grass jelly.
(5) The peanut taste weird.
(6) The taroballs get slimy in the hot soup.
Bestseller Cold - better than the hot one, so it is okay to try
(1) There are ice underneath the taroballs and grass jelly (ice-kacang type).
(2) The cold taroball is nicer and more chewy compare to the hot one.
(3) It taste more normal as compare to the hot one.
(4) Can taste the flavour of the orange and greyish taroballs.
