Came here way back with Ryan H. + a few others so the experience was pretty much the same. I thought I would give it a quick rating though since I've been slacking on so many places. 0109 is really nice inside with a decorative wall of desserts and it seems so.. fancy.
The way this place presented their desserts in the menu was impressive and truly, I wanted everything. Macarons? That's my shizz. Durian? Cheesecake? All in one? Drool worthy, correct?! NOPE NOPE NOPE. I had made my mind that I wanted the durian cheesecake but when it came, I knew I would have regrets. One bite was way too sweet and the durian was not potent at all- it was so sweet to the point where I barely finished half of it and ended up tossing the rest (hey, none of my friends like durian.. it's a miracle they still sat with me) The cheesecake is served in a small square shape for around $8, I believe. What a waste it was when I realized I would take no more than 5 tiny bites! Friends had the different desserts and none of them impressed me. The macaron/fondue/ice cream thing for $30ish is definitely instagram worthy but $30+ for macarons without the 'macaron chewiness' and plain ol' ice cream that's supposed to be 'gelato'? Nah b. I ain't about it. The lava cake and all that were alright.. certainly nothing brag worthy.
Service made me want to vomit. The server did not acknowledge us or respond even after we called her numerous times. I was so done with it that I ended up snapping at her "excuse me. We need water." and she still did not seem too motivated. What's wrong with you? I definitely left her one of those 'you've been yelped' cards after we paid. I still tipped because I'm not a complete asshole.
I went home disappointed, only to have a sore throat from the sweet durian cheesecake for about a week. So technically, I paid to have shitty service, shitty desserts and a shittier week with a raspy cough.
