- ¨̮♡︎ My friend had a long busy work day and she wanted some cafe food for dinner. Had no idea which one to go so we did some searching on openrice. Seeing many people give high ratings and recommendations to this cafe so we decided to come give it a try. Arrived at 20:15, we didnt make reservation and the cafe was fully seated. A staff told us we just need to wait for 10 minutes as a table of customers had finished their food and would be leaving very soon. We told her okay then we'll be sitting
My friend had a long busy work day and she wanted some cafe food for dinner. Had no idea which one to go so we did some searching on openrice. Seeing many people give high ratings and recommendations to this cafe so we decided to come give it a try.
Arrived at 20:15, we didnt make reservation and the cafe was fully seated. A staff told us we just need to wait for 10 minutes as a table of customers had finished their food and would be leaving very soon. We told her okay then we'll be sitting outside waiting for that table. With 15mins passed, we still got no seat so we went in again to double check. A few staff were standing around the entrance but none came to help. At the same time, people who came even later than us had entered so something must be going wrong. Waited for another 5mins, we finally got to talk to the staff and found out they forgot about us😓 They apologized and arranged us to get in the next available table.
Waited for 45mins in total and finally got in at 21:00🫠 Super hungry so we quickly placed order once seated. We ordered Tai O dried prawn & scallop risotto in lobster bisque, soft shell crab avocado burger, truffle chips, iced pistachio milk and iced earl grey latte. The staff did double check with us to confirm if order was correct.
Drinks came to table first. At first sight, I gave my 'earl grey latte' a 10/10, very good visual with some rose petals floating on top. After taking a sip, I started to doubt if the staff placed wrong order. A very weird drink with no earl grey flavor at all. Couldn't describe its exact taste so I asked my friend to try and see if my taste bud was doing right. My friend also gave a 🤔 face after taking a sip, but still, we chose to believe it's a earl grey latte given that the staff repeated our order correctly.
Risotto came next, and again I'd rate its visual 10/10. The taste didn't give me a wow. Risotto was creamy and not too thick. Individual grains are slightly firm with a discernable texture👍🏻 But the 2 dried prawn was very hard to chew and scallops were a bit fishy🫤 Burger and truffle fries came right after. Size was huge, bun was soft and buttery. Fried soft shell crab was a bit oily, made the burger quite heavy to eat especially with the sauce drizzled and avocado added. Truffle fries was the star of tonight, fried golden with crispy texture outside and soft mushy texture inside. Strong truffle aroma with earthy fragrance👍🏻 At this point, my friend suddenly told me to look under the table. I saw a cockroach right next to my feet🫠 I was scared to death and afraid it to climb up my leg so we quickly finished the food and asked the staff to bring us the bill.
The drink mystery was finally solved when the bill came, turned out the staff really placed wrong order. Iced rose / hazelnut / mint / honey latte was showing on the receipt instead of earl grey latte😅 No wonder the taste was so complicated. Staff came and asked what's our payment method and I answered card. Then he asked me to wait, 10mins later, he came back and ask if I'm going to do alipay😓 Really speechless with their service.
Overall food was average, I'd expect more with this price. Big room of improvement for their service and hygiene, staff are too forgetful and inattentive🥹
