| - The grand opening looked like a success, very busy with lots of support and love from his fans. The staff was very excited and of course figuring out the opening day kinks but very friendly and positive even though the line up was almost put the door. They had complimentary Starbucks coffee, tea, roasted pork, and gave out 10% gold cards for next visit.
Sampled: 1 blueberry and 1 rare(?? said the mature lady) cheesecake, which was a nice one bite tart. Great cookie crust crunch and not overly sweet filling. It was good but not what I came for.
The HK Milk Tea cake - got a slice and it was delicious and unique. The flavour of tea had a bitter sweet note and not too sweet, which might be perfect for some. This would go great with an afternoon tea, but not coffee or espresso as it would get lost in mouth feel. I like my sugary treats and my coffee double double so it was just missing a touch of sugar for me.
Cute character Macaroons- worth it!
My favorite by far is the Totoro with the Vietnamese coffee filling, and not cuz I'm a Totoro fan but the filling combo is a MUST TRY! I got a 9 pack of mixed characters and it was hard not to take all these yummy characters home with me, even harder not to eat them as they are so cute! Fridge magnets was an idea my husband suggested
Shells are well made with the perfect chew, fillings were all generally light as he uses fresh fruit instead of extracts and nothing was heavy like a ganache filling. I would have loved a tad more filling inside to really taste the some of the flavours. Stronger flavours a like the black sesame were more pronounced while the white peach got lost on the palette. The Strawberry was nice and fruity but the Strawberry-Yuzu another Yelper remarked was only a promo macaroon from another event.
Parking- not enough for this small plaza, so come ready for a stroll.
Great place, excited to taste whatChris comes out with next!
