I have a bunch of backlog reviews to write before heading to Seoul this weekend so I better make this real quick. Lifetastic is a café in and out of my radar screen since its opening and it's been on my to-do list for the longest time.

Located on the hilly Hill Road, Lifetastic is a breath of fresh air in an area dominated by local eateries but I see this as an transition period (old meets new).
Anyways, I was being seated at the corner of the cafe and after peeking into the menu for 5 seconds, I wasted no time waving at my server. Yes, I'm going for the strawberry watermelon cake.
This is the perfect choice for the summer. With the tremendous heat in July, the combination of watermelon, strawberry and pistachio never sounded better. I like the toasted pistachio and rose petals too, for the contrasting textures and flavors.
This was just beautiful. I heard that they've actually soaked the strawberry and watermelon in rose water to give it a bit more flavors and that was just icing on the cake for me. Honestly I really didn't mind having another slice of that but quickly realized I have dinner in approximately half an hour.
