As you know, I always like to try different and unique things, so when I spotted this chocolate avocado cake on their FB I had to try it.
They are doing these adorable cactus cakes for Valentines from now until the 14th FEB.
Choco-Avocado Saguaro and Key Lime Barrel Cactus!
(Dine-in $98/pc and takeaway $113/pc including the plate)
Had both and they were amazing because the texture of the cake is firm but soft yet moist and not too sweet and the buttercream was so delicious.I haven't had such decent cakes for ages and they taste as good as the ones in the UK.

Choco-Avocado Saguaro:
Inside was this yummy chocolate cake covered with avocado buttercream which is slightly salted to bring out the avocado taste.
I was so impressed that you could taste the avocado as it was blended into the buttercream with chunks big enough that you can prominently taste it.+++
Key Lime Barrel Cactus:
This was also damn good because the cake in the middle was good on top of a chocolate cake base at the bottom.
It was covered in tangy lime buttercream spiked with coconut pieces and cream cheese in the middle.The pairing of lime and coconut is always delicious.

For mains, we also had the Mexican caldo hotpot which is basically soup.
There are three choices of chicken, seafood or vegetarian with cactus.
All served with diced avocado, onions, coriander, chili and lime to complement it.My friends had the chicken while I had the vegetarian one
Basically a hearty hotpot loaded with goodies in a nourishing soup.For me, I liked the vegetarian because it healthy and you get cactus.
The avocado pieces in the soup strangly taste good.
As a cactus fan, I had the cactus juice which was blended with apple and orange, while my friend had the tequila sweetheart cocktail concocted with tequila, lime, honey and a cinnamon stick.
The tequila sweetheart is definitely something sweet to order as I love the strong honey which tones down the tequila.
