We hosted a party for our friend who's leaving HK for the shiny shores of NYC and this restaurant was perfect. The staff are SUPER friendly, and mega talented as they were able to guide a group of novices through cooking our own meals. We were able to arrive early to decorate the venue, and the chef even helped us put up bunting. For a little appetiser, they wetted out pallets with fish tacos and deep fried corn fritters. They were amazing. The fish tacos certainly won the day. We split into two teams for a friendly competition, one making pasta from scratch and the other onto the tiramisu. We then had full on competitions on meatballs and bruschetta wars. The food, even though cooked by teams of people who are not skilled in the kitchen, was delicious if I dare say so myself. The venue is charming, and there's enough room to get into the kitchen to join in the heat, or to hang back a bit and sip your bubbles as you watch your friends battle it out over who can chop garlic better. Such a laugh, and I highly recommend booking a private party and get your hands dirty in the kitchen.

I like the open layout - it invites mingling and conversation. We had some yummy weird ice cream pop thing, delicious taco, and got to chatting with the owner and ended up with a free glass of wine, so it was a good day for me.

I was so excited when this store first opened. It looked like it had everything I need to bake a…read morecake.... until I realised that my kitchen didn't have a proper oven.. Nonetheless, I came into this store just to look around to see if there's anything interesting. Indeed it was, it was filled with baking accessories, goods, and basically everything you could imagine to bake a cake. Although I didn't have an oven at home, i still miss baking. So knowing that they host baking classes here, my friends and I signed up. A group of us came, i think it costed us about $300 for a class. We chose the macaron class. I have joined these classes before but found that a majority of the time, all the ingredients would already have been prepared and in the end you didn't learn anything at all. This class started on time, there were about 12 of us, which is a little packed and there were some late comers as well. We each had our own area to bake and the teacher started to teach us how to make macarons. From my experience, the teacher was not very patient. He got frustrated at some of the students who did things wrong. Not everyone is a master baker. I think he should realise that. It kinda put us off a little bit. Regardless, at least the macarons turned out nicely. I haven't been back since, maybe because I was a little intimidated by the teacher or perhaps I just got really busy. It's a cool experience, at least with this macaron class, we actually got to measure out everything and did it as if we were baking at home. props to that.

It would never cross my mind to want to learn to make the love of my life,bread, from scratch, be it a Totoro one too ! Having ultra efficient friends and with speedy reply from the owner, I was able to book a Saturday class within a week of inquiry. I was able to book a private class with two of my friends and we were able to request to make what we wanted. The whole baking process takes around 4.5 but we actually took almost 6 hours ( opps!). Pâtissier Denise was very patient with us despite our overrun. She would explain each step very carefully and share with us her cooking experiences . You can definitely feel her love for what she does and the energy definitely resonates in her class. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon to be with my friends . I will definitely be back to get more baking done.
