Moii Cafe, Japanese Crepe

July 21, 2019

Just a sneak peak of what's inside. Whenever there's chicken, we can see a lump from the outside. Cheese has been fully melted. Chicken can be a bit dry. Moii Cafe has changed its serving plate from porcelain to composite wood. Although the wooden plate is flat, I think this is a good business decision. The hot crepe naturally sticks to the bottom. Their knife is not super sharp. I guess the porcelain plate and knife created too much squeaking sound. This shows the store manager paid attention to finer details in the store.

Passion8 Dessert Cafe Chocolate Bingsoo Mr Choco Brown

Passion8 Dessert Cafe, Cute Bingsoo

July 16, 2019

Passion8 Dessert Cafe makes really well presented bingsoo. This is Mr. Choco Brown, basically chocolate bingsoo. There is a scoop of chocolate ice cream with a small piece of pastry as its hat. Also, there's two small oreo cookie act as the ears, and a small M&M as the nose. The bingsoo is served in tin can, which is an interesting choice. Unfortunately the outside the bowl is covered with chocolate syrup. It's not very pleasant to touch. Their most famous dish is their Real Tiramisu bingsoo.

Sip Bowl La Mian, Chinese Ramen

July 14, 2019

Sip Bowl Signature Beef Noodle bowl looks quite flat, almost unappetizing. It has lots of noodles, a large amount of green onion and chives, a few pieces of thinly sliced daikon, and 4 pieces of thinly sliced beef. However, when I started eating it, the triangular shaped noodle was very well done. It's a little softer than I'd liked, but superb compared to the majority of noodle places in town. I can feel the bounciness on my teeth when I bite into them. The soup was delectable with a slight taste of savory, not very complex though. The beef was a bit too salty but goes well with the rest of the bowl.

Chinese Skewers at Big Tree Food Palace Skewers

Big Tree Food Palace Chinese Skewers

July 12, 2019

Big Tree Food Palace is not a very good restaurant. Our bill comes to $130 for 4 people with 15% tips. A bill of $150 for 4 equals to $37 per person. I don't care if their rent is high. Their food quality is not worth $37 per head. The ingredients are sub-par. The majority of the food is slightly overcooked. I'm not sure if it's bad to a point of "must-try", but I think customers know when they eat something over-priced. The bad food quality of this restaurant would be acceptable if it's $18 per person. Not recommended.

Yi Fang Taiwanese Fruit Tea

July 11, 2019

Yi Fang's Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea use traditional slow cooking method to cook the brown sugar's sweetness into the pearls. The pearls are added to the cup before the milk to create interesting patterns inside the transparent cup. If you start drinking right when you get the drink, you'll find it too sweet. You will also find the pearls warmer, and very soft to chew on. It is highly recommended to shake well before...

Brown Sugar Milk Tea Boba Ice Cream Bar

July 10, 2019

The actual brown sugar boba ice cream bar cannot retain its own shape. It needs to be stored in a much colder temperature than consumer grade freezer. Most of the ice cream bars I open are too soft. The brown sugar on the outside increase friction to the packaging. Merely the force....
