Choosing a Grass Jelly and Taro Bowl

A quick guide to the cool, chewy dessert bowls on the Gu Dessert menu.

Our grass jelly and taro bowls are built for texture: soft jelly, chewy taro balls, red bean, coconut jelly and fruit-led toppings in chilled bowls.

Start with popping mango for a brighter bowl, sweet fermented rice for a softer finish, or purple rice when you want a richer dessert base.

Why Souffle Pancakes Are Worth a Sweet Stop

Warm, soft souffle pancakes are a centrepiece of the Toowong menu.

The souffle pancake range includes matcha red bean, caramel, taro, Oreo and a salted egg yolk milk foam option with pork jerky.

Pair one pancake with a slush or milk tea when you want a shareable dessert stop between Toowong Village errands.

Tea and Dessert Pairings for Toowong Village

Match rich desserts with fruit teas, milk foam and classic milk tea.

Fruit teas bring a lighter finish to souffle pancakes and creme brulee, while matcha and red bean drinks lean into the dessert side of the menu.

For a cooler order, choose peach, grapefruit, grape or matcha slush with milk foam.
