I would like to give my feedback regarding Canberra Plaza. I think they only work as part-timers, as I see them most of the time on Saturday or Sunday. Two service crew members have very long fringes and do nothing with them, just letting them hang down and cover their faces. This is very unhygienic. I hope DO QOO can take some action regarding this matter.
Thanks.

Customers should definitely ask, "Do you know how to make this drink or dessert?" before ordering.
As regular patrons for over three years, I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at the Do Qoo shop in Canberra Plaza on October 2, 2024.
I ordered and paid for two Black Sesame Pudding Lattes. However, the lady preparing my drinks seemed completely untrained. After a few moments of confusion, she informed us that she didn’t know how to make the drinks and asked if we could wait for her colleague to return from her break, which she said would take another half an hour.
Given our time constraints, we requested a refund, but she stated that she didn’t know how to operate the cash register and couldn't process it. She repeatedly insisted that she was new and unfamiliar with the drinks or the cashier system.
After further discussion, she suddenly claimed she figured out how to make the drinks. However, when she prepared them, the proportions were inconsistent: one drink had double the black sesame while the other had far too little sugar. The result was unpalatable, and we couldn’t drink either of them.
Given this experience, we will not be returning. I suggest they ensure at least one trained staff member is available at all times to avoid these situations.

This dessert place is under the Mr. Bean group, so they're side by side. It's another option besides Nine Fresh. Personally, I found it sweet and the taste was just okay. The price is higher than Nine Fresh.
That place is next to the kiosk for dining in, but there's a trash bin to dispose of your waste after eating. The air conditioning was very cold, at 19 degrees.
You can add $2 for a corn 🌽 cup or go for a bundle of 2 or 4 for better savings.

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 staying in the area. I had D3/Golden Beauty and corn with spicy minced chicken.
The Golden Beauty is a mix of beancurd and grass jelly with (lychee?) pearls that burst, osmanthus jelly, and the chewy, donut-shaped things. It's very similar in taste 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 how it could be eaten as a salad alternative due to its size. Though I'll get it with condensed milk or butter next time.
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 tad pricey, but worth a try.

"No, I'm never coming back. It's too sweet and doesn't taste good."

"My first time buying their desserts was really disappointing! They were pricey and not up to standard.
The Aiyu dessert was not served cold; I still needed to add ice to make it cold, and it wasn't tasty at all. I was also quite shocked when I saw the young lady preparing the dessert. She was doing it slowly, and, worst of all, she was doing it incorrectly and had to redo it! I stood there waiting, thinking she wasn't aware of what she was doing? Unfortunately, I don't think I will patronize this dessert shop again!"

I have no idea why this has so many bad reviews. :( I'm leaving a review here to say that I love their corn so much! I don't know what they put in it, but it's so good!! I'm looking forward to trying their mint jelly, but their golden beauty is pretty good. I also love the lychee pop.

Overpriced, so little!
...Better eat nine fresh.
