My wife saw this place on Instagram and wanted to give it a shot since it is close to home.
We came here to try a few things. Place is nicely decorated, but we did get a little confused off the get go. Menus on the table like some of the dessert places have check boxes it looks like to order your items, kinda looks like those dim sum places where you check things off. The paper quality is really good though and I was like maybe we shouldn't have wrote on it. We did and we are sorry about that :).
Now too the food. Tried a few things here. Most items come in a dish about the size of a rice bowl.
Tried the red bean dessert. Not bad, good size bowl. We went with the mochi bowl with pomelo pulp, mango and black jelly. This sago dish was quite nice and refreshing. I didn't get much cause. Kids ate a lot of it. Next was the pistachio dish. I loved the crushed pistachios to seperate the whipped pistachio paste and the white stuff (can see in the picture if confused).
There was a dish with 4 toppings and an osmanthus jelly underneath that was interesting . Not a favourite with the kids but I found it interesting. Think it's cause it had those Chinese white steam rice cake taste from the fermented rice in the dish. The other 3 toppings were Hawthorne flakes, raisins and peanuts. Dish plated well and lots of textures. Wasn't a fan of the raisins sticking in my teeth but I liked the dish.
Tried the hot food , but a warning it is snack size, and not too many items to choose from. We had the popcorn chicken and the Taiwanese sausage. The chicken was tasty and some fat pieces, but it is a small bowl for $8. The Taiwanese sausage was good, but for $9 , it is one or 2 sausages cut up and put in a bowl.
There are a few more dishes I want to try, so would go back again. After tax and tip, this was about a $75 visit. read more
