Located in the back streets of Yau Ma Tei, it reminds me of Dessert Revolution because the desserts here are creative as well. However its location is on a street that is quieter than DR.

Langham Place has livened up the street where DR is located.
Anyway, this place is decorated by a bright green theme, with green chairs; its logo is rather cartoonistic.The desserts on the menu were interesting with English descriptions.
Although they had western desserts, they were quite localised.
There were a few desserts I wanted to try but in the end I ordered:
French cherry wine bread pudding with ice-cream $49
Mini crispy chocolate fondue $47
Both came with tea or coffee
I felt that it was slightly overpriced compared to other desserteries.
The staff there was slightly pushy with their recommendations and more concerned on taking orders.

French cherry wine bread pudding with ice-creamThe idea of this concept was good especially the use of cherry wine.
The pudding was piping hot and had nice cherry aroma to it.
I just felt that if the fruits are visually rotting, then leave it out.
For this dessert I was given a fork which was more appropriate for the fondue.

Mini crispy chocolate fondueThis was also another creative dessert, it is similar to the chocolate cake with the runny centre, but instead it is chocolate fondue with baked chocolate crispy cake top, and once you have pierced the top layer there is fondue at the bottom.
The wafer roll had gone stale, it was soft and chewy and not crisp.
Again the combination of fruits that came with the fondue was weird, such as the watermelon and kiwi.
For this dessert I was given a small spoon which is impossible to tackle a fondue!!!!
In the end I had to use the fork from the bread pudding.
I think if the wafer was crisp and it came with berries, I would have given it top marks.

Tea and Coffee:I did not like it because the Tea was the Hong Kong version, I specifically enquired before ordering and they said it was the Western one!

This review was meant to be written last year, so things may have improved since then.
Although there are some thing's that need improving, there were some desserts I found really interesting and intend to try on my next visit.
The idea of slushy chocolate and strawberries seem good, it is similar to Hui Lau Shan's chocolate strawberry drink.
Green tea and herbal jelly look good in the product shot, nice and cooling!◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎ⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓢⓤⓟⓔⓡⓖⓘⓡⓛ◎
