mmm-yoso!!! welcomes you back. Once again, Cathy is writing because, once again, Kirk and His Missus are vacationing.
There are two locations of Meet Fresh, a Taiwanese dessert chain, in San Diego. One is in the HMart parking lot in Mira Mesa. The other is in the strip mall on the SouthEast corner of Clairmont Mesa at the 805 (where there was a Souplantation and still has Niban, a McDonalds and Starbucks). The menus are the same, the air conditioning is wonderful, the hours are different. Each location is equidistant from home; we've been to both.
Walk in, order and pay. There is a menu above the register and another full menu on the wall. There's also a laminated one at the register.
Soon your number is called and/or displayed when your order is ready.
Q-mochi set with almond pudding and red beans ($6.75) was presented in this cute dessert bento box/serving tray with tiny cutlery. The two types of mochi were slightly different in flavor, topped with a light Carmel sauce and toasted coconut. The sweet red beans were (and always are) a tasty treat and the almond pudding, when tasted before everything else, had an excellent flavor; the texture remained perfect and never got watery.
This was a hot fresh milk tea with boba ($6.25)which was ordered out of curiosity. I liked it.
This is a medium shaved ice ($11.75) alongside an iced lemon black tea ($4.50)
There are a few choices of shaved ices along with three sizes (the prices are $9.75, $10.75 and $11.75). Topping combinations are varied and all sound good. I pointed at one on the laminated menu at the register. The cylinder shaped Q-mochi, potato balls (sweet potato/taro), jelly and mini mochi balls surrounding the ice cream topped fluffy milk soaked shaved ice made each bite unique. We ended up taking a lot home.
A nice place for a relaxing treat.
