| - Huzzah, I was back yet again for their grand opening BOGO drinks and this time, I tried their food!
Super condensed summary ahead:
1) Consensus from 4 drinks tells me that their bbt is just really sweet (even when 30% sugar!) Would recommend passionfruit aloe lime; would not recommend hazelnut milk tea (wasn't mixed well which led to coagulated chunky bits floating around in my drink)
2) Takoyaki is a must get, piping hot deliciousness with large chunks of octopus
3) Popcorn chicken is also pretty great, the meat is firm and the seasoned batter is addicting (tastes almost like Hot Star chicken except in smaller pieces and boneless)
4) NewZland lamb chop spaghetti, the most costly item on their menu, just barely made it over the thumbs up threshold. The lamb was seasoned well, juicy, and there were two pieces (3 bones). However, be aware that the spaghetti is more catered to Asian cuisine in which it is softer than al dente and is not embedded with the rich, strong flavours of Western spaghetti. It tasted a bit bland at first, but left a distinct aftertaste.
Overall, the concept is great, the interior is snazzy and cozy (especially upstairs!), and the food is palatable - the only caveat is that the price point is a bit high. Not sure I would come back solely for their $7 bubble tea, compared to other large franchises, but I would definitely bring friends here if we needed a place to hang out and talk over some snacks/food/bbt!
