Ben and I came across Meet Fresh which we had visited while in Beijing and Kuala Lumpur before.
Meet Fresh is a dessert place, now in Richmond. Hurray.
Apparently, Meet Fresh originates in Taiwan.
Customer orders and pays at the counter. A buzzer will be given to alert the customer to pick up his/her order at the pick up area.
We ordered one of their signature dessert to share. It was a large serving. Sharing is recommended.

For dessert, the South Arm Multicultural Community Kitchen made a Tropical Baked Bananas.
The aroma of the toasted coconut flakes and warm bananas was wonderful.

I made this dessert for Ben’s office potluck. It’s kind of last minute request. He only told about the potluck on Monday evening and the potluck is on Wednesday. I only do my groceries shopping on Sunday and am not prepared for it at all.
So, I had to whip up something from what I can find in my pantry.
I still have the shredded young coconut which I mistakenly bought in the freezer. I also have some can coconut juice and 1/2 pack of the agar-agar (missing from the above photo).

After the dim sum at Neptune Seafood Restaurant in Surrey, Polly and I went over to Burnaby as Polly had to run an errand there. On the way back to Richmond from Burnaby, Polly decided to go to Faubourg for tea break as she still had some time to kill before picking her daughters up from tuition after school.
Faubourgh is one of the best cake meet place that Polly and I enjoy. The little cakes are very pretty but quite costly.
We saw the above sign on the way in and smoothies is just perfect for a warm late spring afternoon.
We shared two desserts. The above was something green tea and passion fruit. It is $5.95. Continue reading

After the small bite at Pizza Garden, we did more walking in the vicinity area. Our goal is to walk 10,000 steps or more daily.
On the way back, Ben tempted with dessert at Estea Cafe, also at the Aberdeen Square.
I admit that I’m weak when come to dessert. I just gave in easily.

Ben and I went to the Real Canadian Superstore to get groceries in an afternoon, around 3PM.
We had wanted to try the Bubble Tea Shop at the corner of the Real Canadian Supertore but it’s either we were there in the morning when they are not open yet or there are too many people in the shop. This place opens from 12PM to 10PM.
This day, we were surprised to see the shop was empty around 3PM. So, we decided to return our shopping cart and have a dessert to share first.
The shop was decorated with Halloween decor as it’s near Halloween.
Besides dessert and drinks, the shop also sell a lot of cute comic character keychains, memorabilia, toys, gifts, etc.
This is a self service place. You order and pay at the counter and pick up your order when your number in your receipt is called. You are expected to return the trays to a designated area too. Continue reading
After lunch, Ben wanted to have a cold dessert in a summer day.
I suggested Beard Papas on No. 3 Road as I recalled seeing some mango shaved ice picture on it’s wall a while ago.
This place is usually busy in the evening but it was quiet on the late afternoon when we were here.
We ordered the Mango Ice Shower to share. It was a great dessert for summer. The ice-cream adds creaminess to the shaved ice.
I also ordered a cream puff as cream puff is their specialty.
I ordered the green tea version which I quite enjoy. But Ben does not like it.
Besides what we ordered, there are also cakes, pastries and dessert cups.

After dinner in Miku, we decided to go somewhere else for dessert.
Polly suggested to go for the best cheesecake in town, her favourite dessert.
We went to the Trees Organic Cheesecake on Water St. There is another one on Granville St.
Since it’s summer, Polly and I had fruit smoothies for our drink. Polly had the mango smoothies while I had the strawberries smoothies. It was cooling and refreshing. The smoothies is $4.25 each. Continue reading
