Random Visit in Sydney CBD

 

-         Chinatown

Sydney Chinatown, the largest and oldest Chinatown in Australia, is located in Haymarket and it’s only a short distance from Darling Harbour and Central Station. In fact, Chinatown is a great place for shopping and scouting for variety of Chinese cuisines. Even if you’re not a Chinese food lover, you still can find something special to dine here.

We came across a well-known Taiwanese dessert house while having a casual walk in the Chinatown.

 

Many were queuing to order in the Taiwanese dessert house - Meet Fresh

This dessert house serves cold and hot desserts include Taro Ball Desserts, Herbal Jelly, Tofu Pudding, Winter Melon Tea, Traditional Meetfresh Tea, Whipped Cream Tea and Meetfresh Cold Dessert.  This dessert house is interesting and I had the Herbal Jelly my first time. Some of the ingredients they use to make desserts include green beans, pearls, lotus seeds, sweet potato, barley, red beans, peanuts, taro, honey beans, coconut jellies, glutinous cake, noodle jellies and taro mash. You can check out the Meetfresh menu here.



One of he cold Herbal Jellies I tried from the dessert house. It's so tasty and really good to be taken in a hot day.
