By Jessica Lin · Editorial, Memory Corner|

Quick Answer

Sweet Memory (憶點點) is a Taiwanese dessert and late-night spot at 8080 Leslie Rd #130, Richmond, BC, part of the Memory Corner group. The signature is handmade tofu pudding (douhua) — classic, triple, soy-milk, chocolate and custard, from $8.95, with 14 toppings like pearls, tapioca jelly cake and grass jelly — alongside hot grass jelly, fresh mango jelly, tea jellies and handmade sweets (mochi pancake, mai-zai-jian, thick toast). There are also 15 hand-shaken milk teas. Beyond dessert it serves savoury rice bowls, noodles and oden. Open Mon–Fri 5:00 PM and weekends 11:30 AM, every day until 12:30 AM — one of the few places in Richmond for Taiwanese dessert this late. Dine-in or takeout, walk-in.

Taiwanese Dessert in Richmond Is Surprisingly Hard to Find

Richmond has plenty of dessert spots — bubble tea, snow ice, Hong Kong sweet soups. But truly Taiwanese dessert is rare. We're not talking cakes or ice cream, but grass jelly, mochi and mai-zai-jian — the flavours that take anyone who grew up in Taiwan straight back to childhood.

Sweet Memory (憶點點) fills that gap. Part of the Memory Corner group alongside the Taiwanese restaurant Memory Corner, it focuses on "comforting desserts and savoury bites" — whether you want something sweet after dinner or a late-night snack.

Pair It with a Hand-Shaken Milk Tea (15 to choose from)

Dessert isn't complete without tea. Sweet Memory pours 15 hand-shaken milk teas — from house milk tea, traditional fresh milk tea, oolong and Earl Grey to loaded versions with red bean, pudding or grass jelly, from $6.70. For something different, the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea with tapioca gummy cubes ($8.25) is a house favourite.

More Than Dessert: Savoury Bites, Oden, Open Till 12:30 AM

Sweet Memory is really a "dessert + late-night" spot. Beyond sweets it serves nostalgic savoury dishes — braised pork rice, turkey rice, intestine vermicelli, tube rice pudding, century-egg tofu, five-flavour squid — plus oden (fish tofu, meatballs, rice-blood cake and more).

The key detail is the hours: Mon–Fri 5:00 PM to 12:30 AM, weekends 11:30 AM to 12:30 AM. Late-night Taiwanese dessert or a warm bowl of oden is genuinely hard to find in Richmond — which is exactly where Sweet Memory shines.

How Is Taiwanese Dessert Different from a Typical Dessert Shop in Richmond?

Richmond has no shortage of dessert spots, but most fall into two camps: drink-led bubble-tea shops, and Cantonese sweet-soup houses. Taiwanese dessert takes a third path — the toppings are the star. At Sweet Memory, a bowl of handmade tofu pudding is yours to build: red bean, tapioca jelly cake, brown-sugar tapioca, grass jelly, sweet taro, three-colour yam balls, pearls, peanut… 14 toppings to mix, so no two bowls are alike.

Unlike a bubble-tea counter, this is a place to sit down for a bowl of nostalgic dessert rather than just grab a cup; unlike Cantonese sweet soups, the tofu pudding, grass jelly and mochi follow a homier, comforting Taiwanese style. Add savoury bites, oden and a 12:30 AM close, and one spot covers after-dinner dessert, afternoon tea and a late-night snack — uncommon in Richmond.

So if you're looking for where to find real Taiwanese dessert in Richmond — a bowl of douhua or grass jelly that tastes like home, not just another cup of bubble tea — Sweet Memory is one of the few answers that fits.
