| - To be honest, I came here for the first time not having very high expectations of the food. I had the impression that it was just a cutely decorated place where people would want to have tea, lattes, or a light snack. I'm not saying the food was amazing, but it was better than what I had expected. From what I hear, this cafe originated from Asia and has locations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and now Canada. I haven't been to the other locations, but my friend mentioned that the food was definitely better in Hong Kong from her personal experience. Located in the Langham Square on Kennedy that's known for it's many parking spots (sarcasm), have fun looking for a spot with so many restaurants, stores, and a T&T supermarket that share this parking lot.
Through the glass doors, there were white sofa seats along one wall of the restaurant and many chairs with bunny ears everywhere. The decor is definitely one of the marketing tactics they use to attract customers to eat there. It worked for my friend who successfully persuaded me to go with her, but I think experiencing this place once would be enough.
We were a party of 3 and ordered the Rose Lychee Soda, the Dazzling Cafe Milk Tea, the Rose Latte, the Mentaiko Spaghetti with Cream Sauce, the Hawaiian Bacon Pizza, the Seafood Rice Casserole with Tomato Sauce, and finally the Red Wine and Wild Berry Crepe. I got a sip of my friend's soda and it tasted like a combination of rose and lychee flavoured Yakult with a little bit of carbonation. It wasn't too sweet and a little lighter than your usual Yakult drink that comes in a mini plastic bottle. I had the Dazzling Cafe Milk Tea which was served in a decent sized teapot that poured 3-4 cups of tea. I've tasted better milk tea before, so it wasn't anything special. I can say the same for the Rose Latte. Other than the fact that there was a light rose scent to it and that it was nicely decorated with mini flower petals, a nice latte art design on top, and served with a mini biscuit on the side, it wasn't anything special.
Now onto the food. I enjoyed the Seafood Rice Casserole with Tomato Sauce the most out of all the other menu items we ordered. It was very flavourful in comparison to the other two. The Hawaiian Pizza was mediocre with a thin crust and very few toppings and sauce. As for the Mentaiko Spaghetti with Cream Sauce, the pollock roe gave the spaghetti its colour and you definitely feel the texture of the roe when you're eating it. It could have been a little creamier with more sauce but it wasn't too bad. Last but not least the Red Wine and Wild Berry Crepe was good. There are other dessert places that serve thinner crepes, but it wasn't bad.
Overall the dining experience wasn't bad. The service was good, but I've definitely tasted better food.
