We were craving BBT after dinner and were planning to check out Onezon but it was already closed for the night. I’d spotted C Fruit Life, which was nearby, so we decided to give them a try. It’s a HK style dessert chain.
Entrance facing Kingsway Street.
Open late for all those youngin’s looking for late night dessert and drinks.
We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 10:00pm). The inside is new and has a mix of tables and stools to sit at. There’s two entrances; they kept one of the doors open so it was chilly to sit on that end. Service was okay but they spoke limited English.
Menu is split into mein mein ice, recommends, fruit mix, ice cream, fruit smoothies, milkshakes, milk foam tea, soup lovers and pastries.
There was also a menu on the counter.
And of course, a few special (hello fresh durian) and topping options.
Mango snowdae ($9.99)
They make it fresh, which made for a light, thin shaved texture.
Mangoes were good and even the mochi was tasty.
It had a sticky, chewy texture. Solid.
Avocado & mango blast ($4.99)
This wasn’t what we were expecting. The drink comes out split; half avocado on top and half mango on the bottom. It’s also really small. Even when you mix it, it’s still not that satisfying. Pretty disappointing and I love my avocado mango drinks!
On the fence with CFL.
