You can't go wrong with the Mango Pomelo. It is basically mango heaven! The baked mussels, skewers and ramen are delicious too. They serve an extensive menu of snacks and desserts. Just know that my tummy is always satisfied everytime I come here.
Munchies is also a cool place to hang out. They have touch screen computers at every table to keep you entertained. They also play a mix of Chinese and English music in the background which I enjoy. All in all, a decent dessert spot.
I've been coming to munchies for a few years now. Probably over 3 years now.
This is one of my favorite tong sui / HK dessert place. They now serve rice dishes on top of the dessert well. A friend introduced me to this place and now I have to go every time I am in the area.
This time i came in on a Monday night. The service was phenomenal as always.
The waiters/waitresses speak fluent english and cantonese. Some speak mandarin. Sometimes this place is packed and there are no seats, other times it is packed. With that, sometimes it takes longer for service depending on how packed they are.
The desserts here are really good. My favorites being the durian pancake, mango pomelo, and the egg tarts. The egg tarts are made fresh here, so they do take the longest to make. But it comes highly recommended.
The rice dishes here that they added in the last year are okay. I would have to say you can get better quality for the price at other places. But I come here for the desserts so it's fine.
Each table here has a touch screen computer at the end, along the wall to help you pass the time, while waiting for the food in addition to the free wifi. There is a clean bathroom for customers. I can stay here all day.
For the price and taste of the food, it is one of my favorite places to go.
They updated recently (ish) their savory menu with rice dishes. My favorite is the BBQ skewer rice which only costs $5.50(?) something like that… and it comes with 3 skewered meats (mini sausage, chicken, and beef) and white rice. Maybe I'm basic, but it is my FAVE dish. Then we follow up with some awesome desserts and drinks.
My favorite dessert is the Mango Pomelo. But anything with mango is top-notch here.
Drinks are a little ehhhh… on the sweeter end. But it's a dessert shop. #treatyoself
I dig this dessert place!
Mango Pomelo with Mango Ice Cream!!
Under category of Snowy & Mix Fruit on the menu.
Cold
Sago
Fresh fruit
Refreshing Ice Cream
The durian desserts here are also very good for those who could tolerate the smell and taste like me. They don't call it the king of fruits for nothing. This place makes the perfect durian desserts!
They also have various snacks, drinks, which I haven't tried but will when I return for more goodies!
Wanted to show off this place to friends after a meal at Sake but it only turned out to be so-so/average. When we went in, there were a bunch of elementary school kids in there that were making a lot of noise so we got annoyed and just got drinks to-go instead of trying the HK-style desserts in there. Not their fault though. I got the Mango Delight and found it to be pretty good. It had fresh pieces of mango in it (that weren't sour!), sago (my favorite!), and mango juice. It was $5.50 though so not exactly cheap. I'll probably come back to try some of the desserts.
This review is based mostly on their savory items, but as well as desserts.
My boyfriend and I decided to try out the savory menu items at Munchies since we haven't done so before as well as have dessert.
We went on a Sunday afternoon after the gym and Munchies wasn't too busy, yet the food felt like it was taking a long time to come out.
HK Style Chong Fun with Mixed Sauce – I wasn't a big fan of this, nor did it look very appealing. The peanut sauce was set off to one side and I wished it was drizzled on top of the chong fun like the hoisin sauce. I've had better.
BBQ Squid – This possibly the worse squid I've ever had. The smell and taste was a little funky and also the squid was overcooked. It took a lot of effort to bite the squid off the skewer and digest.
Ham with Egg Instant Noodle – Another savory item I wasn't a fan of. The soup/broth was very salty and there definitely wasn't enough noodles. I could have definitely made a better instant noodle at home.
Taiwanese Pork Chop over Rice – My boyfriend's order sure took a very long time. This dish was better than mine in terms of taste, but not like over the top excellent. The pork chop was nice and crispy. This dish is good, but it doesn't compare to how yummy the Pork chop dish is at May Wah.
Grass Jelly with Mixed-Fruit – I was happy to see they didn't mess up our desserts. I've had this dessert before, and it sure did make-up for the disappointments earlier in our lunch. It's a great combination of fruits.
Strawberry Aloe Sago – I liked this dessert a lot too. I like the strawberry puree and that it was full on strawberry-heaven. Glad it wasn't too sweet.
So it looks like Munchies Cafe strengths are their desserts, but their savory menu items are definitely poor and I would not order their savory menu items again. I also think that it's absurd that we were charged a service charge, all they did was bring our food to us and take our orders. When Munchies first opened, they never had a service charge before and no other dessert places do I know around Bensonhurst have a service charge on their receipts/policy.
Not a big fan of this place. I would only come here if I'm nearby and I'm tired of the other dessert spots. Their desserts aren't that good, the drinks are okay and the computer next to the tables are pretty useless lol it's so hard to use so no one really uses it. I don't think it's worth the money.
Love to come here for a good place to hangout and catch up with little desserts and food. The cheese mussels are a must have. I usually come here for the waffles and icecream. This is one of the spots I'd go for a good snack.
