I gave it a 2nd try.... sigh...

I decided to give it a 2nd try and well, its a mistake...

I went there on a Sunday afternoon, after lunch. The first thing that happened when we reached, the service crew informed us that they have a shortage on manpower, therefore the waiting time for food is an average of 20mins. To us that wasn't a problem, as we are there mainly for the drinks.

We had a seat rather quickly, and ordered 6 drinks and a Blueberry Puree Toast. The drinks were 2 Ice blended White Coffee Mocha, 1 Orange Yogurt Ice Blended, 1 Blueberry Yogurt Ice Blended, 1 Hot White Coffee, and 1 Hot Hazelnut White Coffee.

The drinks were served rather promptly, except for the Ice Blended White Coffee Mocha, which we thought they had forgotten. The 2 Yogurt Ice Blended was a good choice for a hot day, but I can't say for the rest, which I tasted. They were all too sweet! Totally different from the bland coffee which we had the 1st time round. Sigh... inconsistency in the standard of coffee...

We waited for the toast to come, and it seem to have been forgotten. How would I know? Well for a fact that other tables have been served their food, and some toasts but I have not! We asked for the Blurberry Puree Toast, but the service crew doesn't seem to understand. Hmm... its on your menu you know. I am asking for Puree Toast, Not Yogurt Drink!!!

The toast finally came, with a thick spread of Blueberry Puree on top of the toast. Though it looks good, it was too sweet for our liking. Worse, it came without any cutlery. Hmm... Am I supposed to eat with my barehands? Finally the service crew gave me a pair of fork and spoon. Funny combi, but it does the job.

Overall, the service was slow, with food that is too sweet! I will not go there for a 3rd time. I will be satisfied by their 3-in-1 coffee, but not the freshly brewed...
