I'm Giving Up On Snowflake!

I used to like Snowflake. Loved it lots. It was, in my opinion, one of the better dessert shops around.

And then something went wrong. The quality started to deteriorate. The shaved ice had became coarse and was not as fine as before. It was no longer my favorite dessert.

A week before Chinese New Year, I was shopping at Paradigm Mall when I chanced upon Snowflake again. At that time, they were heavily promoting their new Mango series so I decided to give it one more chance.

I ordered the Mango Sensation, priced at RM12.90.

Looks delicious, no?

Unfortunately, it did not taste good to me. And the shaved ice - look at the shaved ice!! So coarse and rough!

It's a far cry from the Snowflake that I used to know when it first started. At that time, I was full of praise for its finely shaved ice. Now, it's worse than eating poor quality ice kacang!

I regret to say this, but I'm giving up on Snowflake. Unless they do something and improve. Maybe, then just maybe, I will go back.

On another matter, I noticed that the Snowflake shop at Paradigm Mall had a rather interesting design in the form of trees made from recycled plastic bottles!

Ooh! I just love this tree!

So creative of them using simple plastic bottles to create a tree!

Although I am very disappointed with their Mango Sensation, I am giving them full marks for this beautiful design!

But good creative design is not going to make your customers come back for more, it's still the food that matters. So buck up, Snowflake. And make me want to eat your desserts again!

Otherwise,  I will just have to say good bye for good!

Shaved ice for 12 plus ringgit!? That's expensive for me. Aunty prefers to save money and suck ice at home. hahaha....

These days, the quality of food at eateries are dropping. Not only in Malaysia, but Singapore too.

I have cut down on eating out. More healthier to cook and eat at home. Safer too because we are having a gutter oil scare. :(

I "banned" Snowflake long time ago.. I saw many friends hoo-haa-ing about the desserts there and I went to try it myself.. I'm not sure if it's the branch or what (I went to the one in Cheras, near my mum's place), and I was like "Pttuuiii, what's so nice about it"... The ice is not fine enuff, the pearls are frozen, everything taste like flour only.. Sorry, maybe it's just me :)
