Out & About #108 | Sugar Marmalade Mississauga

7/3/2015

 
Sugar Marmalade's latest venture into Mississauga has landed them almost endless nights of chaos since their opening some few weeks ago.

Up until now, I've opted for takeout due to lack of time. But the time has finally come to dine in and see what they can do.

Following an extensive hair appointment, I met up with a friend to give the Chinese diner a try.

We arrived just a bit after 7 pm; we were met with an inexplicably full parking lot (this is what happens when Kenzo, Chatime, and Sugar Marmalade need to share) in addition to a short, five-minute wait for a table.
The girl, who despite frantically having to pace between serving already-seated customers and tending to the growing lineup at the front of the store, was pleasant beyond reason. She disappeared not long after we were seated though, which was probably due to her shift coming to an end.

Not wanting to fill ourselves up too much in preparation for dessert, we ordered a Golden Royal Drink to share before the meals arrived.

Being decidedly indecisive (no pun intended), I decided to order the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken on Rice based on previous experiences with the dish ordered during takeout. The chicken was, once again, perfectly seasoned and made to perfection. The only points I would take off for the dish would be for the lack of veggies and excessively firm rice.

My friend ordered the Kimchi French Fries.
Still scarred from my experience with the Teriyaki French Fries consumed at the North York location, I was less than tempted to try their second fries dish.
Surely enough, the fries had just been defrozen and toasted. I tried a small bite and was relieved to discover that they weren't the soggy mess I had tasted previously. The kimchi was unmistakably storebought, and the entire platter was drizzled with an unidentifiable spicy sauce.

But let's move onto the better things - aka dessert! We had initially wanted to order the Green Tea and Mango Taiwanese Shaved Ice(s), but were informed by the waitress that they were sold out of both for the day. She mentioned that the Strawberry and Chocolate flavours were still available, which prompted me to inquire about the creation of these desserts and whether real fruit was used. Though she was able to tell me that the Strawberry Shaved Ice did include real strawberries placed on top, she was hesitant to confirm whether the ice itself was created using real strawberry pulp, or simply strawberry syrup.
Kind enough to check despite the place being completely chaotic, she later emerged with the answer: it was indeed syrup. The Chocolate Shaved Ice was, presumably, concocted from syrup as well. (I mean, which Asian diner would take the time to buy raw chocolate bars to grind up in a shaved ice dessert that retails for $5.49?)

Having been craving something green tea-flavoured, I felt rather defeated. My friend proceeded to order the Mango Roll Supreme, while I finally settled for the Mixed Fruits w/ Sago Mixed Pearl Delight after spending much time with the menu.

The Mango Roll Supreme was comprised of diced mangoes, mango syrup, and cream encased in a thin, chewy paper roll that had a consistency slightly tougher than a Hong Kong-style rice roll. This is likely a result of utilizing gelatin in its formation. The dessert wasn't too sweet nor too creamy, but the stretchy texture of roll itself resulted in it being a tad messy to eat.

My order of Mixed Fruits w/ Sago Mixed Pearl Delight was better than I had anticipated. Seasonal fruit such as honeydew, watermelon, and cantaloupe were gently submerged in a chilled bowl of delectable coconut milk, accompanied by a generous portion of chewy mochi balls and sweet, ripe mango. The dessert was then further topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with mango syrup and chocolate sauce. Talk about yum!
Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the entire dessert due to being overly full from previous eatings, but it was amazing nonetheless!

Service was surprisingly good, especially compared to the expressionless servers of the North York location. In addition, the food quality is seemingly higher as well.
Looks like I'll be returning to try some more of their desserts!
