Meet Fresh Review

I decided to try Meet Fresh because I wanted to compare it to what I've tried in Juifen, Taiwan. It's an ok size dessert place. When we got there, it was ok busy, not too much people. Their service is not like restaurant style so you order then pick up your dessert yourself (they give you this thing that vibrates when your dessert is ready).

I looked at this online menu but I guess it's for another country? The one I wanted to try, they did not have in store... =( I ordered the Meet Fresh signature ($12.50) and my friend ordered the brown sugar mochi ball ($1.75). The taste, at first mine didn't have much taste but I realized they have some kind of crushed ice looking sugar or something under the grass jelly. So I mixed it all up and stabbed it like an enemy. It also came with this cream which I thought was unnecessary, makes no difference to the taste. Maybe they can give condense milk instead? Overall, it wasn't too sweet which I like. I can't taste any taro or sweet potatoe flavour for the mochi/balls but it was chewy. My friend's, it has a nice chewy mochi texture with a peanut filling. Both were just ok.

To me I think their dessert is overpriced for what you get. I don't think the ingredients are worth that much. I can buy a can of grass jelly for maybe $2. The size of the dessert aren't big either. The taro and I think sweet potatoe mochi/balls are pretty small compared to what I had in Taiwan.

My friend told me ahead of time that her friends said Meet Fresh isn't that good so not worth trying. I still wanted to try because everyone is different when it comes to taste. I won't know till I try (like I always say). I don't think I will come back again because I don't think it was worth it. =( I think I can make that myself too, maybe even better. =)
