Tsui Wah & ChaTime

1.  Gui Lin Noodles 桂林米粉 @ Tsui Wah 翠華


It's called 'vermicelli' but it's not the usual thin kind, almost like spaghetti. Soup base was quite good with minced meat, cilantro, tomatoes and preserved vegetables, but I think it could've used a bit more spice and flavor.

2. ChaTime


Authentic Taiwanese bubble tea place on Dundas St. W. Offers unique and natural offerings such as brown rice milk tea, genmaicha and roasted milk tea.  You can choose the sugar and ice level just like in Taiwan. The interior theme is white and purple - very clean and modern. I tried the Taro Milk Tea because it's one of the recommended drinks. The texture is gritty/sandy; I'm not sure if it's powder or the texture of real taro blended in. I like that there's bits of real taro but overall the taste is average - don't see the hype for $4.75.

3. Ice Cream Mochi


Couldn't resist buying this mango and black sesame ice cream mochi from T&T - cute packaging and tastes good too, reminds me of summer days in Hong Kong.
