KTZ, SS2, Petaling Jaya

Phew, been a busy week for me. Got myself a job, and I can proudly say I'm a proud employee of Fusionex, a IT business solution company!

Me and my girlfriend both always have some strange cravings, especially during the night. We had this crave for something sweet on a chilly night; and off we head to KTZ just before midnight. K.T.Z - which stands for Kei Tak Sik / Remember To Eat is a pretty much famous joint for both modern and traditional chinese based deserts and food. Previously, I would get my fix at a shopping mall here in OUG, but was shifted few years ago. I had mine this time at SS2. The interior remained unchanged over time; with pretty simple settings of wooden tables and chairs.

The girlfriend had the Mango Loh (RM6). A little pricier than pasar malams or equivalent version but the 'lohs' at KTZ is famous for it's strong flavor. The mango puree coated the ice shaved ice nicely, where you can really taste mango in every scoop. The mango slices were sweet. Come to think of it, the mango slices are really constantly sweet every time I ordered this.

I had the Black Sesame (RM2.60) tong sui because they ran out of my favourite Peanut Butter / Fa Sang Wu. Well, the black sesame was really very smooth with a little bit of tiny sesame particle for a little texture feeling while eating. Pretty good version I would say as it's not too sweet, thus not covering the fragrance of the black sesame.

"Wall Band" (RM3.80) / Wo Biang. A very direct.. translation. Was served warm, and was good to go with the tong sui. However, I find it a bit thick, would be better if thinner for that crunchy texture.

Paper Wrap Chicken (RM5.30). Was not warm at all when served, don't blame them as it was pretty late. The gravy was not bad, a little bit herb detected. Pretty wasted, as would taste better if served hot right after tearing the wrapper paper.


Us loving our late night guilty, but lovely deserts. Oh no.

A mixture of snacks and deserts came up to around RM20 for both of us; which is pretty reasonable considering the amount of food we had. I'm not sure if they have other outlets, but the other one that I knew was in Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur. The last time that I went and checked, the branch there was closed.

Now I'm sure by now most of you guys had or already have heard/tried about this small space shop selling good Taiwanese deserts in SS15 (right opposite Asia Cafe). After having a few years of very successful business - can be seen by the overwhelming response and full house on peak hours; Snow Flake spread their business to Pavilion. While on a outing with my friends, we spotted Snow Flake. To be honest, I thought the prices are definitely going to be marked up higher given the location. I was wrong. Prices still remain the same with the same quality; major good news.


The beeper that has also already act as the identity of Snow Flake. Basically after placing order and paying, you will be passed a beeper. You know your order is ready when the beeper's light lighted and vibrates crazily. As a matter of fact, I always address this device as Snow Flake's 'vibrator', lol.

Lime Jelly (Sorry, forgetten the price but should range from RM5 -RM6). This desert here is not too over powering in terms of sourness. In fact, I felt it's just good when eaten with the thinly shaved ice below. Very refreshing and soothing to be eaten on a very hot day.


Sea Amber Jelly (RM 6.50). Similarly to the above jelly type desert, I think the correct ingredient of the jelly is sea coconut. Not a very big fan of sea coconut but somehow this dessert doesn't have the aftertaste (personal opinion) that I usually associate with sea coconuts. Much sweeter than the first desert.

Now after trying a few type of deserts at Snow Flakes, I would say my favorite would still be the Snow Flake Best Seller; both hot and cold (RM 6.50). The difference between the both is that the cold comes with jelly layer and has shaved ice; accompanied by fresh creamer. On the other hand the hot one has jelly and the respective beverage. The main reason that made both these desert as my favorite is because well; the yam and taro balls (as seen in picture)! Both the yam and taro balls are so bouncy that it keeps it so addictive to be eaten. Taiwanese calls this the QQ factor; which I thoroughly agree.


The ladies that are with us who enjoyed both the desert and the camwhores (not for sale, sorry).


A bit more expensive compare to other local style desert shop, but hey, this is as authentic and closest you can get to a Taiwanese desert. How do I know? Personal trip to Taiwan brought me to similar comparable quality.


As emphasized on their receipt, Snow Flake is located right in front of Padini Store; just right under the escalator.
