There is no fixed rule of how many menu items a dessert shop should have, however, given an eatery with some 30 seats and no long queue of patrons waiting, too aggressive in an attempt to satisfy a wide range of customers would end up in upsetting them.
Our group was an exception from the rest of the tables where one or more orders of fruit (watermelon, pineapple, etc.) slush had been placed. We were looking for some classical desserts. Nearly 100 items were listed on the menu and we understood that some of the items were not available, we could still managed to pick what we desired. What really disappointing us was that some of the desserts that we ordered tasted like they had been prepared weeks ago, if not months. For the service wise, we saw a huge room for improvement too as the serving staff lacked patience in taking order.
Although the shop has been opened for a couple of years, the interior was shabby and the dining ware needed replacement especially when they’re charging at $68 for a watermelon slush.
a) Double Boiled Papaya and White Fungus 冰糖木瓜燉雪耳 ($29) – 5/10
Either the papaya, the white fungus or both tasted stale.b) Sweet Almond Soup Served in Young Coconut 椰皇杏仁茶 ($45) – 6.5/10
The sweet almond soup was alright, however, for a hot dessert that I requested for, the young coconut shell with flesh was definitely taken out right from the fridge, making the contrast of temperature difference which should be.c) Stewed Whole Chinese Pear with Fermented Rice and Osmanthus 原隻酒釀桂花燉雪梨 ($38) – 6.5/10
The soup base was blend and even worse for the pear. The overall presentation made one to lose his/her appetite. d) Hokkaido Milk Pudding 北海道牛奶奶凍 ($33) – 7.8/10
Made with milk Hokkaido which is high content in milk fats, the pudding was rich in milk flavour.e) Hokkaido Milk Pudding with Lychee北海道荔枝奶凍 ($33) – 8/10
This was the variant from the plain milk pudding where bits of lychee were added inside. A pleasing dessert.05.2013
