After eating in this restaurant, I realized that the taste of Yuanxiao is indeed different from glutinous rice balls, and it is more delicious.

Every time I go to Family Fortune Lantern Festival, I see the same chef (?), which gives me a sense of security. The quality has indeed been very stable over the years.

Tangyuan is kneaded and shaped by hand, while Yuanxiao is formed by putting the fillings in a bamboo sieve and shaking them, then rolling them to coat with dry glutinous rice flour, so the outer skin tastes softer and less sticky. Even if there is such a distinction, whether it is the menu or the boss, it is still called glutinous rice balls.

Family Portrait Yuanxiao only has a single sesame flavor, and you can choose whether to add fermented rice dumplings (can be hot or iced) or eggs (can only be made hot); my personal favorite is fermented glutinous rice dumplings with ice water.

There are a fixed number of five glutinous rice balls in a bowl. If two people often eat together, the boss will thoughtfully include two spoons.
The sesame filling has a nice and solid flavor, and is not overly sweet or watery as is common in the market.
The fermented wine has the aroma of osmanthus, is slightly sour and slightly sweet, and is especially suitable for ice water.
After the Yuanxiao is just cooked, the boss will "massage" each Yuanxiao with a spoon. I wonder if it can enhance the taste? Or just check whether the filling is cooked or overflowing?

Egg waffle made fresh with lots of options. Our go to option is the regular flavor adding cheese. The outside is crispy and the inside gooey and salty and is the perfect flavor combination. This time we tried the salted egg flavor. It's good, but I found myself longing for the cheesy option we usually get. It does take several minutes for orders to be ready so be prepared to wait a little. Great for an afternoon snack!

Snow desserts are one of my favorites with the soft texture and natural flavors. This place really hit the spot. Service was a bit on the slow side but it was worth it, they have to make them 1-2 at a time. The space was comfortable as well, and portions were generous. I prefer ice monster locations from my past memory but still very satisfied with this location.

Apologies in advance, I did not take pictures of what this place is most well known for, but still want to leave a review to recommend this place to others. We wanted just hot dessert like red bean or tofu custard, which they have and we ordered. When we saw the snow desserts that were flying around and the big pictures advertising the snow desserts on the wall we caved in and ordered one (and in my distraction I forgot to take a picture). But this place is very efficiently run and heavily visited, many tourists as well. They have a large amount of seating and it was easy for us to find given how many people were around. But yeah, the snow dessert we ordered later came before the other things that we ordered. And it was really great, definitely worth a try. The grass jelly dessert I ordered was fine, and was what I was looking for but nothing special. Just order any of their snow ice desserts though, you won't be disappointed.
