It's basically an alternative to Nine Fresh/Jiu Xian, but it's a little more expensive (approximately $1.20 more). It's not a bad option if you're in the area. I had D3/Golden Beauty and corn with spicy minced chicken.
Golden Beauty is a mix of beancurd and grass jelly with (lychee?) pearls that burst, osmanthus jelly, and the chewy, donut-shaped things. It tastes very similar to Jiu Xian, but the toppings are better, especially the osmanthus jelly, which definitely costs more, even if it's factory-made.
The corn was bigger than the usual pasar malam kind and was juicy and sweet on its own. The spicy chicken was average and didn't add much to the corn except to make it savory. I was thinking it could be eaten as a salad alternative due to its size. I'll get it with condensed milk or butter next time, though.
Overall, I'll go back if I'm passing through the area, but the price is a little steep.
It’s a takeaway joint selling dessert. These donut balls, made of yam and sweet potatoes, have a nice, soft, and chewy texture. They are a bit pricey, but worth trying.
"If only I could give it zero stars, I would. The staff didn’t bother to adjust the lighting in the photo before printing (we printed an 8R family shot), like other shops do. The picture is so dark and horrible. Please avoid this shop at all costs, no matter how desperate you are!"
The staff was very rude and unfriendly. They mumbled, making it impossible to understand them. When asked to repeat themselves, they became visibly annoyed. The photography skills were awful; the pictures were ugly and dark. They insisted it would take 30 minutes to collect the photos. Considering how ugly the pictures were, it didn't seem like they needed that much time to edit. I will not be coming back.
The staff was nice when taking the photo, but when they showed it, it was on the small camera screen. I couldn't see the details of my eyes. When I called to ask if I could retake the photo, the staff said they couldn't retake it unless the photo was rejected by the government and they received a letter as proof. Very poor experience. I will not recommend them.
Do not take passport or ID photographs here at the Canberra Plaza outlet. The images are terrible, and the lighting setup is a joke. It was a total waste of $16. Seriously, just don’t.
Unpleasant experience at Northpoint...
Reasons: I bought a photo frame for $18 plus, but it was dirty and the metal hook was rusty. The lady in charge wasn't friendly and told me to clean it myself.
When I got home, I cleaned it and discovered the hook was still rusty.
I made a trip back to Canberra to explain the situation to Ms. Belle at Northpoint. She exchanged the photo frame without issue. Many thanks to her for helping.
