Tracy Dessert

First time having Hot Pot Rice there, and is excellent. Shave ice is delicious and deep fried chicken wing is very good as well. Will definitely come here again for dinner.

Thank you JC for introducing this place to me! This is a traditional place serving up some traditional Chinese and Hong Kong inspired desserts. if the food doesn’t feel traditional enough, the décor makes up for it; wood carved stools, traditional pictures and choice of colors this place displays. For dessertS… yes that’s more than one, we both decided to order the following items:
**Deep fried milk (³⁄₅): Served warm, with sugar sprinkled ontop, I found this unique since it was my first time. Not too oily.
**Mango with pomelo and tapioca (4.5÷5); this was an enjoyable one, served cold, with an ambundance of sweetness, the pomelo adds a nice a twist to the dish complimenting the tapioca and sweet mango… i’d recommend one… two=too much sugar.
**Sesame ball soup (⁴⁄₅); first time having this, one bite and you’ll taste the sweet black bean, great soup dish that smells ‘comfort food’
**Steamed rice noodle mixed with hoisin and soya sauce (⁵⁄₅) Supposedly they used to serve this dish with hot sauce mixed in, but they excluded it. The dish is served with mixed hoisin and soya sauce, truly comforting with every bite into this soft rice noodles. The sauce makes up for this as rice noodles is bland.
Overally Great place, I’ll be sure to visit again.

Came here for HK style dessert. Most of the stuff here is pretty good. I had the mango pomelo sago and had some of the mango grass jelly. The mango was so sweet. The hot dessert soups are really good here too.
There is usually a line up on weekend evenings. The service is quick and efficient.

This place is a classic. It may not blow your mind with amazing new creations but the classic chinese deserts that you are used to back in asia, it does correctly. This place has been around for a very long time, and one of its key to its success, has always been that this desert restaurant has great food, and a simple pedigree.
i’ve been to this place a few times in the past, but its been a while since I’ve come here. and i have to say that it is overall a very decent desert place. i would highly recommend mango based deserts, as they do a decent job, and also the classics such as black sesame or grass jelly based desert. It is a great place to go with a few friends like 4 – 6, as thought this place is not very big, you can easily get a spot, and relax, the interior is very much old school Chinese interior. and those in the neighborhood have probably heard of this place.
I would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for some classics. and it is pretty good considered this is located in an area where there is tons of desert places. it still stacks up pretty well

Tracy dessert had a big name in Hong Kong and the one in First Markham place has been here for many years now!
Came in for some Chinese dessert, and I must say their selection has increased tremendously over the years. I might as well add that the price has also increased tremendously as well. The waitress gave us tea, which I could taste had red date in it. Fancy!
A simple taro with coconut with tapioca pearls was like $ 5.25 or something. Basically all the desserts were more than $ 5. That’s crazy! I can literally just make this dessert at home and for a bowl, it would probably cost like $ 0.50. A few years ago, I think I can still get it for like $ 3-​$ 4, which is more reasonable, but wow, more than $ 5 is a little over the top for this dessert. Though I must say, it is Tracy Dessert, and they are a little more on the expensive side.
I also saw other items on the menu like fish balls, chicken wings, shaved ice. My friend got a mango drink with fresh mango in it!
I’m also surprised how many people come to Tracy Dessert after work. We came on a Sunday and the tables were always filled. I think the amount of tables they had were just perfect because no one really waited for seats for a long time, but the tables kept filling up once a table was finished.

Service is slow, the place is very busy.
Tables and chairs have a cute chinese culture décor but cleanliness isn’t very top notch as me and a friend came in, was told to wait a few minutes for her to finally clear off the remaining table for us to sit. Service isn’t prompt so if you need something, getting their attention and asking for it is a must. ie. napkins, water, tea, utensils etc.
Desserts were good with a wide variety of choices, we also ordered the chicken and rice meal since we were also hungry. It was mediocre but good enough to fill our tummy before dessert. The prices are not bad, I’d come again for desserts only though!
The only thing i did not like were the stools in the restaurant as dining chairs, my friend is big tall and big, so he needed two stools heh.

No idea why this place has such low reviews. This is one of the main dessert places we go to everytime we go to Toronto! The service here are sometimes abysmal, but the desserts and food more than make up for it. I highly recommed the Glutinous Rice Balls topped with Peanut and Sugar and Rice Cake with Oyster Sauce and Peanut Butter. There’s also plenty of parking, so no worries about that!

Really nice HK style dessert place! We had the mango pomelo with tapioca cream, black sesame soup and deep fried milk. We started with the two first desserts and finished with the fried milk. The black sesame soup came really fast and it was hot. My boyfriend loved it! It was full of flavours. Even next to him, I could smell the sesame! You should definitely try it!
As for the mango dessert, I liked it! I used to see it often in HK series and was always curious about it. Now that I know how it tastes like, I can die in peace LOL. But it didn’t wow me. I expected so much more. However, it’s still a nice mango tapioca cream! I would take it again next time. And add a mango pudding!
The deep fried milk disappointed me at the end. It was just so-​so. It has sugar sprinkled on top and it tastes a little like the Chinese donut until you bite into the milk part. It wasn’t too sweet so that’s a plus! I wouldn’t take it again

This place have been opened for so long inside First Markham Place and one I visit once in awhile. It’s a very small place which doesn’t fit a lot of people, if you want to grab a seat on weekends, better come early or else either you wait for a long time for a table or you have to take-​out.
They offer a lot of traditional Chinese desserts, most of which on their menu you can customize, like adding on toppings, fruits, onto your choice of dessert. They also offer desserts which are not only the pleasure to the taste buds but as well considered healthy for the body. They also offer healthy herbal drinks and snacks as well.
This is a great place to go if you’re looking for something sweet, a snack, a place to catch up and talk, a dessert place after dinner.
On the down side, I would think that the prices are TOTALLY NOT SO WORTH it. For a bowl of simple sesame dessert or mango sago dessert, it’s at least $ 6 and it’s a small bowl where you can finish in few bits.
The quality of the food is decent but for the price of what you’re paying, NOT SO WORTH it.
Did I mention service is poor, during times where they are not busy, like afternoons, there’s only 1 employee working, serving customers, punching in orders, doing take out orders, as cashier. And during busier times, servers are just running with endless tasks in limited time.
I wouldn’t come to this place unless I’m close to the plaza and craving for Chinese desserts, but there’s also other choices around.

In a convenient location and has a huge menu selection, which might be slightly overwhelming and hard to choose if you haven’t been here before (because you just wanna try everything).
They also offer casserole rice, which takes a while to come out so if you’re ordering that for some reason at a dessert place, do that first thing.
Parking is close by, but everyone tries to park in that area since it’s close to all the restaurants in that corner. This place is usually packed on weekends, I’d say about 9 or 10 at night, since they do close later.
I’m not a fan of sharing my table with strangers… so I usually just wait for a whole seat. It’s a common thing at this place so if you don’t like sharing tables either, prepare to wait in the space-​limited waiting area right by the door (good luck in the winter).
Seems like mangoes were a thing here; their menu is practically half of mango stuff and they even have a mango shelf off to the side. While the mango pomelo is a popular Asian dessert, you wouldn’t get the ‘best’ one here. It’s a bit sour for my liking, and the pomelo is almost bitter the last 2 times I had it… even when the fruits are in season. For the price they charge, it’s also not that good of deal either.
Prices are a bit off… so if you want a good deal for a good meal, go to the one in the Midland and Finch plaza. I prefer this place if I was closer to the area, but for Markham, this place is decent.

The pictures looked great and promising so I tried out this place.
Wasn’t really good at all… Got the pomelo mango sago thing, can say that you could get this anywhere else and it’d be better than this place. Mango was sour, the sago was kinda hard, and it was kinda warm… So yeah.
Verdict: can try this place if you don’t believe me but I think that any other dessert place will probably be better than here, plus it’s pretty expensive too.
So, nah.
That’s all.

Had higher expectations of this place. I got the grass jelly with coconut milk and mango but the mango was sour and grass jelly tasted like store bought even though the menu stated it was homemade. Overall, below average and would not come back.

Must Try: Mango Sago with Pommels, Shaved Ice with Fruit, Steamed Egg, Black Sesame with Glutinous balls

My Experience:
Great HK style dessert house, that shares the same name (but different franchise) with the famous Hong Kong spot known for their mango dishes.
Although they serve clay pot rice and other late night meals, I’ve always been a fan of desserts here. The shaved ice is a great blend with fresh fruit (really legitimately fresh!). Their steamed desserts are great as well, along with the traditional HK desserts, such as black sesame and almond.
If you’re feeling for HK desserts, this is the place to be!

I’m from HK and always have craving for food at home. This shop is known for dessert but this time I’m here for some solid food. Must try the deep fried squid, best I’ve tried in GTA but on the salty side. Steamed rice roll with all sauce is awesome and brings back memory. The highlight was the steamed flos cordyorps & pork tenderloin with rice in hot pot. 30 mins wait but totally worth it, best on a cold day!

I ordered the mango sago and was kind of disappointed with the portion and the price ($ 6 in all including tips for a tiny bowl)! It wasn’t satisfying enough but it was really delicious. But I think I’d go somewhere a little cheaper.
The other items on the menu seemed a little pricey imo. I even saw two girls walk in, sit and look at the menu and walked right out!
I guess they only thing worth coming for may be the really traditional deserts like the herbal ones. The desserts are definitely better tasting than other places though

One of the better Asian dessert places for when you’re around the area. Good selection and their water is boiled with dried dates I believe which makes it interesting in a good way.

This Chinese dessert place always brings back old memories! It’s been around for many years and it’s still very popular in the area. They make really good black sesame soup — not too sweet and rich with flavour. The fried milk is also delish — not too oily or heavy.
They have a pretty comprehensive list of all the Hk dessert favourites as well as savory items such as the street style rice rolls and claypot rice. Good spot for some late night snacking.

Tracy Dessert was a few steps away from Chef Wong’s which is where my boyfriend, family, and I had dinner on our first night at Markham. My boyfriend, a few of our family members, and I have been here twice during our stay at Markham because it was that good!
The first time we did take-​out so we can bring the desserts back to the hotel to enjoy. It took a little while for our orders to be ready, but it so worth it! I ordered the Homemade Grass Jelly, Milk, and Sea Coconut with Fresh Fruit and my boyfriend ordered the Mango Tapioca mixed.
I liked that they separated the fruits in a separate container and the grass jelly with milk in a separate container. The fruits were fresh and cut just right. I really liked my dessert and the grass jelly tasted 10x better than the one in New York and tastes a lot fresher! Too bad I couldn’t finish the entire dessert cause it was so huge and filling. The mango tapioca mixed tasted pretty good and fresh as well!
During our second visit, we actually sat down and enjoyed the air conditioning and ambiance. It’s a nice setting and great for afternoon or late night snacks, desserts, and tea.
I ordered the Homemade Grass Jelly with Mixed Fruits and ice cream and my boyfriend ordered the Mango tapioca with ice cream. The dessert I ordered the second time is similar to the one I ordered the night before, but much more fresher, bigger, and better. Once again, the grass jelly tasted really fresh and yummy. Absolutely fruit heaven! The Mango tapioca with ice cream was rich, syrupy, and sweet!
I really enjoyed the food at Tracy Dessert and the quality of the desserts tastes a lot better than the ones in New York to be honest. I look forward to coming back here again and try other desserts!

Tracy Dessert is a small little restaurant that features a lot of authentic Asian style desserts and snacks. The restaurant is open late on Saturdays (till 2 am) and has fairly steady business through the night.
We came in at about 11 in the evening and it was a full house at that point. The service was a little slow, we didn’t get water until 10 minutes later.
The Matcha Milk Snowflake Ice was pretty good, it contains three fruits of your choice along with the matcha ice and was very tasty. Not too sweet.
We also got a Hot dessert soup which had small little tapioca and taro in coconut milk. There was a bit too much tapioca in my opinion but still nonetheless a pretty good dessert.
Recommended but don’t stay too long, the hard wooden chairs get pretty uncomfortable to sit on!

*Cash only.
Tracy Dessert is a tiny place and it can get very crowded at night. The place is very clean looking and I actually enjoy their décor. Other than dessert, the store also sells assortments of savoury dishes, and most of the items are under $ 10.
–Mango Tapioca Mixed — $ 4.45: it is basically a bowl of sweet, creamy mango that has been blended, then mixed with tiny pearls of tapioca, and topped with chunks of mango. The mango purée isn’t soupy, nor does it have the texture of a smoothie. The tapioca helped to thicken the mango purée and luckily the mango chunks were a bit tart, which makes it a perfect blend of sweetness and tanginess :).
–Homemade Grass Jelly with Mango and Milk — $ 6.25: In my opinion this dish was a bit sweeter than others due to the condensed milk, but nonetheless it was still good. Also, don’t order this if you don’t like grass jelly. I understand it’s a love it or hate it ingredient. If I have to describe it, it basically has no taste and is a bit bitter, it needs a lot of help with something sweet.
–Mango Pudding with Sea Coconut Jelly & Mixed Fruit — $ 4.95: the mango pudding wasn’t too sweet and honestly, it didn’t have much mango flavor… I don’t know if they mixed up my order but I definitely think this wasn’t a mango pudding, unless I’m doing something wrong here and I am not supposed to taste the mango? lol. Anyways, I still enjoyed it and the kiwi added some tartness and balanced the entire dish. Again, the sea coconut jelly is probably another love it or hate it ingredients. The consistency is very. unique as these were a bit harder than normal jellies, and they add a touch of sweetness to the dish. I also like adding it to dessert as it provides a refreshing aftertaste.
