On a late tuesday night this place was pretty full. After browsing through the extensive dessert menu which had both western and Hong Kong-style desserts, we decided on a Oreo Serradura and a Chocolate Souffle.Oreo Serradurawas clearly frozen rather than refrigerated, since the cream layers were hard as ice cream rather than light and creamy like the real deal.

Oreo Serradura
was clearly frozen rather than refrigerated, since the cream layers were hard as ice cream rather than light and creamy like the real deal. The oreo bits sandwiched between the layers of hard mousse layers were no longer crunchy and were quite wet and soggy... Taste was alright but texture wise it was all wrong. We left this aside.
Green tea snowflake ice
Since we didn't want the oreo serradura after a couple bites, we ordered this instead. You may select your own toppings (fruit, sauce, other add-ons such as jelly, nata de coco etc), but we opted for the more valuable pre-set option, which included tapioca pearls, small black-eyed sago pearls, red bean and coconut jelly squares and condensed milk drizzled on top. The green tea snowflake ice was strong in green tea flavour - the bitterness of the tea was present, but the sweetness of the ice itself was enough to balance out the bitterness. The texture was almost like ice cream, only with a much lower melting point, and was much better than other places I've previously tried.
Chocolate souffle
This took quite a while to come because it is made to order. The first one they served was significantly under-cooked, noticed after a couple of bites from the top as insides were really wet. I saw other customers proceeding to enjoy their souffle from the same batch but I guess they didn't mind eating raw egg mixtures. I told one of the waitresses and she apologized and told me they'd start making a new one for me - unexpected but good service! The second one was much better, more 'puffier' than the first one as it had been in the heat for a slightly longer period. As for the taste, it reminded me very much of carnation's hot chocolate mix packets - I would prefer if they had used more cocoa powder or something to make it more strong and bitter.
I think this place is worth visiting again as there are endless options - and except for the categories of puddings e.g. serradura, I think their desserts are not bad at all. Portions are relatively small - good for after-meals.
