There are hooks to hang your coats and outlets at every tables against the wall, pretty convenient and a nice place to "study." They also have free Wi-Fi as well, so remember to ask for the passwords!
Just putting this out there, don't come here and expect good service lol. The service is terrible and the servers look like they hate working here.
Order:
-Sour & Spicy Shredded Potato - $4.49: Horrible. I believe the potatoes were pretty much raw, and the sauce was so sour that it gave me a stomach ache after having a few bites. The pepper flakes added no flavor nor spiciness to the dish.
-Peach & Melon Green tea - $5.49: Surprisingly it tastes really good! The tea wasn't too sweet and the peach flavor wasn't too artificial, a very nice and relaxing cup of tea.
-Black Sticky Rice with Durian - $5.49: the black sticky rice has a nutty and natural sweet flavor, and here it was paired with sweet coconut milk, delicious! If you don't like durian, try the mango version as the sticky rice can basically go with any fruits :D. However, for a $6 dessert I wish there was more black sticky rice :(...
-Traditional Braised Beef Noodles - $8.99: bad. On the menu it says the broth is supposed to be spicy, but I would say the spicy level were non-existent. Also, the broth was so sour! Is it just me or the chef here loves to put vinegar in all the savoury dishes?! The tomato added a bit of sweetness but the sourness of the broth overpowered everything else. The braised beef brisket was tender and very good, but my beef pieces were all fat!!
Conclusion: Come here for the dessert, not savoury dishes. There are so many options around Chinatown that it would be better to have dinner around the area, then come here for their dessert.
