Food Review ~ QQ Snowmix Sri Petaling

by BUTTERfly

Another Groupon deal, for RM9, I got RM20 worth voucher to indulge myself in some icy Taiwan desserts. There is warm desserts too. I'm sure many would have agreed with me that the craze started with Snowflake, from their very first branch in Subang. Soon, many competitors (or copy cat) start mushrooming around KL. QQ Snowmix in Sri Petaling doesn't just cater to hot and cold desserts, there is also Taiwanese snack to indulge in. I actually went there for dinner.

Copycat?

I not sure about this, but QQ Snowmix apparently originated in Taiwan and was quoted as one of the top 10 dessert store (or was it the dessert itself listed as top 10? Business gimmick). As for Snowflake, from what I read written on Snowflakes' store, the founder migrated to Malaysia and start longing for Taiwanese desserts. So in the case of chicken and egg, I couldn't confirm which come first. In comparison, I feel the dessert at QQ wasn't as nice as Snowflake. As for the fried snack, again, it wasn't that nice compare to Shihlin. However, they has more variety of snack as compare to Shihlin.

 Icy Hot Affair

1. We ordered only one icy dessert as the weather is quite chill. Soya Ice Series contain soya bean ice, covered in grass jelly (cincau) and toppings of yam and potato taro (texture like muachi -glutionuos rice made into gummy like ball). (Rating: 4/5)

2. Taiwanese Style Fry Chicken is nothing to shout about. I feel it's way too salty. and the meat is not tender. (Rating: 2/5)

3. We also ordered Tempura, expecting seafood like squid, prawn, etc. Guess I'm too ambitious. This is comparable to Shihlin's tempura. It tasted something like Korean's seafood rice cake but this is fried in tempura's batter. For those who don't favor garlic, this dish has heavy garlic taste. (Rating: 5/5)

4. Taiwan Sweet Potato Stick has a great offer of buy 1 free 1 since we went on Saturday. That's when we realise we are in deep trouble as the RM20 voucher super exceed our ability to finish to food. The potato stick is nice and I feel it's healthier compare to frozen french fries. (Rating: 5/5)

Overall, we spend all our credit and only has to top up RM1.80. In total, we paid RM10.80 for a very filling meal. Highly recommended if you want to eat Taiwanese dessert on a budget. It wasn't that bad, it's cheaper, and less crowd.
