Happy that Little Pisces came to replace the vegan bakery that used to be at this spot (it didn't last very long). Who can say no to dinner at BigWay followed by taiyaki soft serve??
May 28-29 were technically "secret" opening days, but the place was bustling already! And for good reason - an already well reputed chain set in an inviting space. Some staff seem to still be in training and have to check with their supervisor here and there, but that's all good and they were pleasant enough.
We hadn't been to the other locations before, so we were curious how things would taste. Got the mango sticky rice soft serve with a Nutella taiyaki cone -- maybe not the wisest combo but both individually delicious. The taiyaki is just the right crispiness on the outside and mochiness on the inside. The soft serve is maybe not as soft as I would have liked (more ice cream texture), but the flavour was on point.
We then couldn't resist trying a drink and got a hojicha latte. Because they put tea at the top and milk at the bottom, it got progressively sweeter as the cup got emptier. Next time would definitely give it a shake first. Whisk's hojicha is still better imo, but this is not bad for being in the neighbourhood!
We also liked that there's a decent amount of seating, including a big table for those who want to sit in to work/study. read more
