A very nice change from the blatant commercialism of Asian dessert places in the CBD. The first thing that impressed me was how much thought was put into the interior of the place. Each sitting area has a unique touch to it and you won't claustrophobic.
They do serve main courses but to be honest this place is more well known for its desserts. The menu has variations of what you'd expect from Taiwanese eateries with some exotic ingredients thrown in here and there like durian and pomelo.
I had a chance to try the mango sago with pomelo which surprisingly was not that sweet, this could be a good or bad thing dependent on your current state of health. Same goes for the mixed fruit sago which had a hint of coconut milk.
The red bean pancake took awhile to get to our table but it was worth the wait, the red bean was very well done and I could taste the natural sweetness and fragrance while the pancake was extra crispy and not too greasy. The syrup and icing sugar were overkill though so anyone thinking of ordering this should ask them to hold the extra toppings.
The killer however was their Hawker's waffles, a sinfully delicious crispy waffle slathered with syrup, peanut butter and probably some other fattening stuff I'd rather not know. A good choice to order and share around with friends.
This place loss out on a perfect score only because they don't serve "complimentary tea or tap water" (I'm serious, it's even printed on the menu), and they only offer "boiling water". I suspect it's the management's strategy to get their customers' to order more drinks which is really an odd policy.
But aside from that tiny inconvenience I'd still recommend this place. A well hidden gem in the city with a unique menu that opens pass midnight . read more
