Flori Flower & Korean Dessert Cafe opened up in the now more and more hip Tang Lung Street recently. As I live near this area, I always seem to walk by it but haven't really given it a try as sometimes it's not open or I am on my way to lunch. But as I was waiting for a friend to get off work so we could have dinner and I was a bit hungry, I stopped here for a bite.It's a small shop that is geared to make it look like a flower shop.

It's a small shop that is geared to make it look like a flower shop. Thus, the flower theme.
What they serve are Korean toasts, hotteok, desserts (that do not include bingsu), salads and all day breakfasts. They have drink add ons available. Menu is in English. You order and pay (cash only, no 10% service charge) at the cashier where they will give you a pager that will ring for you to pick up your meal when it's ready.
I ordered a raspberry hotteok ($58) and added an ice cappuccino for $20.The raspberry hotteok came with some slightly sweet whipped cream, a few dots of blueberries and slices of banana. Love the whipped cream as it was slightly sweet and not just bland cream (as I find in many small scale cafes).
The hotteok was nice though I couldn't really taste any raspberry flavor. It was warm and chewy, like a mochi and I like mochi. It was filled with a cream cheese so it gave a tangy taste. The other hotteok was filled with a semi sweet azuki paste.
The ice cappuccino was typical of most Korean coffees. Watery and weak with little coffee taste. This is what I always seem to find in most Korean coffees so finding this to be the case was not much of a surprise to me. Perhaps next time I'll not choose coffee but a tea or something.
It's fairly quiet as there is no one here or very few people here every time I walk by. So, I will be back as it's close to where I live and it's quiet enough and I can find a table to just chillax. Will try the other Korean desserts next time.
