| - Seems like their main thing here is the meringue cake. Since that's not my thing, I can't really give them a high rating, the experience and the service is not that great. Also everyone seems to have recognized the sour-faced lady owner/manager, who is not very pleasant. I remember my experience with her before, where I told her the mussels in my pasta dish was not fresh and mushy/crumbly. Of course she proceeds to tell me that it's the freshest mussels evs and it's obviously a problem on my end. Can't believe they charge so much for their meals. You might as well go to a decent Western place for this price instead of this Asian-style western food.
So my partner suggested we give them another try after 10+ years of boycott. Although the decor got an update, the people and service have not changed. Seemed to be a very popular place for their cakes, especial popular amongst the older Asian ladies who tend to favor cakes with less sugar. The whole time we were there people were in and out getting cakes.
We ordered a French onion soup and it was served with complementary garlic bread... Oooo... a pleasant surprise and it was good. The soup however is a disappointment. Sitting at a price of $8, there needs to be some sort of standards. The portion was painfully small, the cheese on top of poor quality and there's a small piece of bread in there looks like day old baguette. I ordered the garlic tiger shrimp pasta in tomato sauce. I didn't have high hopes for "tiger shrimps", since a lot of restaurants called their shrimps tiger when they are not. And these were not, but at least they were fresh. The sauce was interesting it was tomatoey, and I think they added crab eggs in it, which was interesting and added a nice texture. Otherwise, the decor was blah, the ambience meh and service okay... And sour face lady didn't help.
