All About Sugar & Gift — Restaurant in George Town

A dessert shop which specialized in Tang Yuan with many choice of dessert types, for example from Black Sesame, Peanut, Red Bean, Black Glutinous, Sweet Potatoes, Ice-Cream with Tang Yuan. We tried the Pineapple Juice, Red Beans wt Tang Yuan, Black Glutinous Broth Longan, & Coconut Ice-Cream wt Tang Yuan, Green Tea Ice-Cream wt Tang Yuan, Dried Prawn Noodles and Kapitan Chicken Curry Rice. The notable dessert is the Black Glutinous Rice Broth Longan & Coconut Ice-Cream with Tang Yuan. The other dessert was too strong for us like the Red Beans wt Tang Yuan was having a heavy orange peel taste and scent whereas the Green Tea was just plain and normal quality of Green Tea Ice-Cream. The food was satisfactory as the Dried Prawn Noodle was dried instant noodle with flavoring and 2 strand of vegetable (Siow Pak Choy) and 2 medium size prawn. For the Kapitan Chicken Curry Rice was NOT fragrant, creamy, spiciness (aromatic in spice) nor tasty. Unique in dessert available but an average taste dessert shop but lack in food attraction. A good place to enjoy a drink, some dessert or light food... just to rest...

The food itself is a patchwork of experiences. Some rave about the chewy, soft tang yuan, with highlights such as black glutinous rice and coconut ice cream adding a refreshing twist. But not all experiments succeed, as the chocolate tang yuan and certain sour-tasting soups are quick to divide opinions. Prices are mercifully affordable, with most items costing less than RM10.

The ambiance is somewhere between a grandmother’s kitchen and a student hangout. Cosy and quiet, it invites you to linger. For some, this atmosphere evokes fond memories. For others, it’s simply hot and stifling. The juxtaposition of a quaint dining area with inconsistent service adds to the frustration: diners left waiting for over an hour, staff oblivious to new arrivals, and an overall lack of urgency that’s maddening, especially when the place isn’t even crowded.

At its worst, it’s a poorly managed operation that tests the limits of patience and palate alike. At its best, it’s a charming little escape into the past, offering desserts that are both flavourful...

Randomly got here and tried the tang yuan, they got so many kind of tang yuan like the normal sweet tangyuan, filled tangyuan, mochi tangyuan, sesame soup. I ordered: Filled tangyuan, got so many flavours, I ordered cheese, peanut, green tea, chrysantemum puer and red bean. The chrysantemum puer is the best one for me, the tea flavour come out and when you bite it, you can feel the tea smell. I ordered with ginger soup, but for me the soup not gingery enough. Chewy coconut tangyuan as in the picture, its a bit sweet, but good combination with the coconut crunch. The toilet here is so clean, got tissue as well. Good place for...
