Had wanted to come here for sometime now and was going to meet my frend who is very into japanese thing so i suggested this place..

The place is amazingly pretty!! and the waitresses are mostly japs.. very gentle. =)

ANyway i wasnt hungry so didnt order food.. started with a mocha which is not recommended.. sorry im a coffee snob but the mocha tasted like chocolate milk! and umm.. the small latte art they try to do as u can see from the pict.. is not very impressive. Lol.

Ok next up, the tea my frend ordered.. earl grey i think.. was very prettily set up in a tray with milk and syrup.. so thats a plus point but the taste was so-so.. the sandwich she had looked delicious though! its a bacon sandwich.. actually i saw the array of sandwiched n i think i could possibly return to try.. it was a pity i wasnt hungry coz i saw other pple eating the desserts n they look delicious!

After 2 hours.. i had to order smthing... hehe.. so i indulged in a chocolate parfait which i must say its pretty worth the calories.. its chocolate ice cream with coco pops and corn flakes in it.. so the crunch makes the eating part fun and also makes u feel like guilty coz its cereal and not something more sinful. Oh and there were 2 chocolate truffles on top which was the cherry on the cake. Price is a little prciey esp for the quality of the coffee but other than that i have no complaints.

The café/ restaurant area was minimally furnished. It kind of reminded me of Delifrance.

As I was here during the afternoon, I got the High Tea Set.



Everything in the tea set was ok and nothing was disgusting. But I feel I could do without the duck pate canapé, meat balls and macaron.

They were ok, but I would prefer more scones or grilled tomato salad.

The macaron was blah. It was so tiny, the shell was neither crunchy nor chewy – it was kind of too thin to feel any texture and it was ganache filled. I prefer buttercream filled macarons.

The scones fall in the “good scone” category. The cream and jam was tasty too, but I think they didn’t give me Devonshire (pronounced like there-vern-sher) cream. The consistency was too liquefied, especially upon contact with the warm scone.

The tea was unmistakably lipton.

Their high tea set changes periodically. I wouldn’t mind going back to try out a different set when they change it.

Happen to pass by with my friends while we were looking for a place to eat. Supposed to go Madam Saigon but it wasnt opened. We were captivated by the nice looking cafe and decided to try it out.

I ordered the high tea set. Good enough for me since I wasnt hungry. Tea/coffee was refillable. My friend ordered this cheesy dog bread that looked so yummy. Will try that next time. Anyway, a nice place to chill out with friends for a cup of coffee on a lazing weekend
