Meet fresh12/15/2023 ![]() The set up is exactly like the set up at Meet Fresh or Blackball - grass jelly, yam balls, taro balls, boba pearls, brown sugar syrup, evaporated milk, condensed milk and homemade ice cream ready to be layered in a dessert cup or bowl. My mom loves everything taro as much I do, so I made a build-your-own dessert bowl type of situation for her for Mother’s Day. Through making many batches of taro balls, yam balls, and sweet potato balls, I think I have found the ideal ratio of these root vegetables to tapioca starch. Over the last few weeks, I have started making my own version of these desserts and have found so much joy learning more and more about all the different types of rice flours and starches used in Chinese sweets. I grew up eating shaved ice with tender taro chunks and taro balls and nowadays, I always find an excuse to go to Meet Fresh or Blackball for their signature taro desserts. ![]() Taro is very common ingredient and flavour in Chinese desserts and I am here for it. I love frequenting dessert shops that specialize in taro desserts. When we are out, we opt for dessert options that are more laborious if we were to make it at home. Most of these aforementioned Chinese desserts are often homemade and enjoyed in the comforts of my parents’ home. And you know I will be having at least two bowls of 楊枝甘露 (chilled mango pomelo sago) during warm summer days. I will always say yes to my mom’s pearl barley and bean curd dessert. ![]() I always want dessert ‘soups’ with coconut milk, grass jelly, and cubes of fresh fruit. Perhaps it is because I grew up eating it a lot more, I find myself craving Chinese dessert more often than non-Chinese desserts. ![]()
