definitely the most disappointing experience. eventhough i am not a cook myself i have tried desserts in many different countries, east or west, 5 stars hotels, novice or experienced chef..and all I can say is that eating at this dessert bar is like trying out your kid's cooking homework at home. although the owner interned at a michelin 3 stars restaurant before but if her food is not at that level yet, it's better not to use it as promotion cos you will really let your customers down. we hav

we have tried 3 desserts at the same time, presentations are all the same, big white plate with main dessert in the middle, here and there a bit of sauce and juice. no specific deco to cater for the specific taste of the kind of dessert. taste of desserts are pretty dry, tastes are so separately, say for a mango napolean, u got mango on one layer, pastry on another layer, didn't see a mixture of tecnique in "creating" a desserts. baking desserts are either too warm or cold (most of the time too cold).
service-wise, i got really irritated by a lady standing next to me all the times. she is not a waitress but she keeps standing next to me while i am enjoying my time with friends. I guess she is relatives or so with the owner but the owner should consider how to create a comfortable place for the customers. for sure, no dessert bar in new york serves in this style.
i think it's a good trial of this kind of restaurants in hk but if it's only up to what it offers as now, it's a big disappointment to the customers and dessert lovers.
