About a month ago when I tried my luck here it was closed. Today, I came, it was open, and my food item somewhat disappointed me. I hope it's just me. Setting:It's a rather small restaurant, suited for couples or for groups of 4. We were a crashing horde of 11. Thankfully there weren't many patrons so after quickly arranging the wooden desks reminiscent of my junior+senior school days, we settled down at the long table. The menu itself was attractive and successfully whet my appetite for dessert

It's a rather small restaurant, suited for couples or for groups of 4. We were a crashing horde of 11. Thankfully there weren't many patrons so after quickly arranging the wooden desks reminiscent of my junior+senior school days, we settled down at the long table.
The menu itself was attractive and successfully whet my appetite for dessert even though it was already 530pm...: Food:
French Toast on something like custard + bread and butter pudding with vanilla ice cream It all sounds and looks mouth-watering but it isn't, really. None of the three food items (ice cream, french toast, custard) tasted good at all individually. The vanilla ice cream was watery and bland, and melted too quickly. The French Toast tasted like oily bread, wasn't fried for a sufficiently long time, there was very little honey coating the toast which is really bad - and I would suggest that they spread some chunky peanut butter between the two pieces of white bread before deep-frying it. Would add a lot more much-needed flavour to the bland, bland french toast. Bland french toast? How bad can it get? A good french toast needs to be - very hot, sweet, crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, flavorful, satisfying - something these bits of french toast failed to achieve!
Not sure what happened to the Custardy bread-and-butter-pudding-like form Supporting the toast and ice cream but it was just..not good. I ate half and left it alone. I ate most of the top - which was slightly more palatable than the stuff at the bottom. I think it tasted too eggy - and not sweet enough. Just plain unattractive. That is all. I hope you will improve, dear Sweet Classroom. I had high hopes for you!
Other items: Didn't try these coz I was sick and didn't want to infect my friends. But I had the pleasure of forking a small bit out of the chocolate lava cake. It was semi-sweet, slightly salted which brought out the chocolate - the whole thing looked pretty good. Solid.
Conclusion:
Not all hope is lost. I shall return for the apple crumble and tiramisu, two items gastronomerrr has commented on - I believe her taste.
I really like the middle-aged waitresses though. So nice and friendly and laid-back. That is the life.
