Meet Fresh vows to serve their customers the best and healthiest desserts."Meet Fresh’s name came about because we want our customers to ‘meet’ the ‘fresh’ and healthy desserts we have to offer which are made all natural and fresh ingredients and prepared with love and care."the two cartoon figure on the signboard are Mr and Mrs Fu, siblings who’s the brains behind Meet Fresh. desserts shown here are the bestsellers.Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly (Hot) | RM 6.90it’s a hot dessert with herb jelly being the base and taro balls, honey bean, pearl and peanut hidden beneath.Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly (Cold) | RM 6.90this is the cold version of the dessert above. the only different is, the taro balls are studded atop and drizzled with cream.i prefer cold version over the hot one. correction, i like the cold herb jelly more.Q Mochi | RM 8.90original vs brown sugar mochi served with desiccated coconutboth are equally chewy but black sugar’s more fragrant!Little taro Balls in White Gourd Tea with Cream | RM 5.90i love the size of mini taro balls, so addictive i keep digging them out instead of sipping. the size is similar to those pearls. but it’s in purple and orange instead of boring black. this would be my favourite only if they use fluffy whipped cream! continue reading

I used to eat Snowflakes' Taiwanese Desserts only in KL. This is my first visit to Meet Fresh Penang and I'm glad that it did not disappoint me. My friends and I were excited to try their desserts. Taro Ball is always my favorite. I ordered the Meet Fresh Signature Herb Jelly. It is topped with the yam ice-cream and Taro Balls. It tasted just nice with the milk. I'm surprised with the taste. It is not too sweet and it matches well with the Taro Balls. The taro balls were chewy. I like the desserts there because they are all freshly made. The environment is also good. It is surely suitable for gathering and yum cha session. Many people hang around here after their dinner. I would recommend you all to try this dish as it is their signature dish as well! continue reading

I tried Snow Flake in KL 1 year ago, and I liked that so much. The mixture of the difference fresh jelly flavor have made the dessert more tasteful. Jane and me were so upset that we couldn't it again in Penang until This year, we saw the operation of this shop in Gurney Paragon. (actually there are few kind of this dessert starts selling in BW, but they received bad review).We were so excited and ask a few friends together to try their dessert again. We tried a few difference flavor, and this is the most famous 1 in their restaurant. The taste is appetizing, especially nice when we added the milk together. I like The purple color Yam and the black pearl added with honey the most. I would say, I like red bean, but the mixture of red bean here is not suitable. So I would if you go there, try to grab a bowl of dessert with just the jelly. I think it will be better. continue reading
