One of my favourite places to take my family for dessert is Blackball Taiwanese Dessert in Richmond. This international Taiwanese dessert chain opened up a few months ago at 1061-8300 Capstan Way.
One our last visit along with our friend David (pickydiners.com), we had the following:
- Fresh Milk With Purple Rice & Mini Balls
- Fresh Milk with Matcha Jelly
- Tie Guangyin Tea with Yam Balls & Boba
- Longan Peach Gum Dessert
- Mini Balls Grass Jelly Dessert
We really loved the Fresh Milk with Purple Rice & Mini Balls because of the chewy and nutty flavours of the purple rice.
The Mini Balls Grass Jelly Dessert was a great shareable dessert and featured a luscious grass jelly topped with brown sugar shaved iced and black sesame, matcha, yam, and white rice mini balls
The Longan Peach Gum Dessert was a warming, comforting and nourishing hot dessert with peach gum, longan and dates.
The mega-popular toy series, Bobo & Coco, is also available in store at Blackball. These come in box sets and for each box you buy you will also get a $10 gift certificate to dine at @liuyishouhotpot in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
I definitely recommend Blackball as a great place for families to gather together for desserts. There’s something for everyone from cold to hot desserts and drinks. If you’re worried about kids getting too much sugar, I would say that you don’t really need to as the desserts aren’t really that sweet and certain drinks can be customized for sweetness.
