We arrived in Changzhou (常州) pretty late last night and didn’t get much of a chance to eat before crashing at midnight. After waking up the next morning, we decided to explore the city early and there was no better starting point than Wonder World (藝象天地), which sits right underneath the structure that houses our hotel.
Wonder World isn’t a particularly large mall, so it wasn’t surprising that there weren’t many shops open for breakfast. Instead of grabbing something quick like KFC, little nugget suggested having Chinese dessert at Makkee (麥記牛奶公司). But at 10am?
Makkee is a dessert brand available in many shopping malls in Shenzhen, but we never had the chance to visit before. So we didn’t expect that we could finally cross it off our list in Changzhou instead of Shenzhen.
Black glutinous rice with mango and vanilla ice cream (芒果白雪黑糯米) (¥20) — Little nugget wanted the vanilla ice cream even though he really hated the black glutinous rice. I guess when you haven’t eaten for more than 10 hours, you get a little desperate.

Taro and sago with coconut milk (香芋椰汁西米露) (¥20) — This came with large pieces of poached taro and a long ribbon of taro purée that, according to my team, looked like 💩. Yeah, it definitely affected my appetite a bit. Thought the sweet potato flavored mochi was also a little on the hard side.

Overall, it wasn’t a very satisfying sweet breakfast. I’ve had much better ones before.
