| - The entire cafe is really cute and "girly". Apparently, each one of their Dazzling Cafe locations is decorated in a different theme. For this one, it was a pink and gold theme and I saw some Hello Kitty plushies on the counter of their bar too. As well, the backs of the chairs had rabbit ears on it which was really cute. There was also a white merry-go-around horse near the entrance of the cafe.
I chose the Rose Lychee Soda which turned out to be not only pretty in its looks but taste as well. It was a sweet soda that tasted flowery and also refreshing.
The Bacon and Poached Egg Spaghetti was a beautifully assembled dish where the pasta strands were twisted so perfectly with a poached egg on top of it. It smelled so good too. After poking the yolk, the egg contents unleashed upon the pasta. I really enjoyed the texture and firmness of the spaghetti. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how good the spaghetti tasted!
The Mentaiko Fries were a very unique item where crunchy and crispy French fries were topped with mentaiao, or pollock roe. It smelled amazing and this was the first time that I had mentaiko with fries like this. Everyone at the table loved it.
The Fried Caramel Chicken Wings piqued my interest when I saw these on the menu. These were nicely fried chicken wings covered with caramel sauce although I didn't think that the caramel taste was too obvious. These were also a hit though and we got a second order of these.
The Roasted Chicken Leg Spaghetti with Basil Pesto Sauce had the same spaghetti as the first pasta dish. The basil pesto sauce smelled amazing and was pretty good. The roasted chicken leg was firm and reminded me of the ones at Hong Kong style cafes. It was decent though and not too firm or rough.
I really loved the Truffle Mushroom Pizza. This was full of cheese that tasted so, so good. The crust of the pizza wasn't thick at all and very thin. It went so well with the gooey cheese.
The JalapeƱo Chicken Pizza was definitely spicy as the menu said. It was quite good though and the spice packed a lot of (surprise) heat.
This Hazelnut Chocolate Honey Toast was so delicately and carefully crafted. It was layers of brick toast with strawberries on the side of it in a diagonal fashion. There was whipped cream on top of it with swirls of chocolate too. After we took photos of it, the server actually helped us cut it open and divide it. Apparently, there was a special way to do it! After she took apart the top, inside of the honey toast, there were smaller cubes of toast already cut up and dosed with butter. She dunked each cube into the whipped cream with strawberry before serving each person with it with the tongs that were provided. This was so precious! Tt was like the dessert had a mini treasure chest.
After we ate the little cubes of toast, we were then welcome to cut up the rest of the honey toast too to eat. It was so good and I was very impressed that the honey toast stayed crunchy and dry throughout.
The Matcha Red Bean Waffle unique from the regular waffle dessert because each cup area of the waffle held a dollop of whipped cream with the large scoop of matcha ice cream in the middle of the waffle "flower" and some red bean on top too. It was just beautiful. Whoever thought of this dessert deserves an award.
I'm actually not a huge waffle fan but when I taste good waffles, I acknowledge it right away. With that said, I was so, so impressed with the quality of this waffle dessert! The waffle petal that I had was so moist, well done, and it must be attributed to the batter because I think a lot of waffles out there might be too dry.
The Honey Toast Cups was a similar dessert to the Honey Toast except that this one was in take-out form. The cubed honey toasts were fit artfully into a plastic cup and layered with whipped cream, and the flavours or fruits of the cup that you chose. We got to try the Mango Honey Toast Cup and Strawberry Lower Honey Toast Cup.
Everyone loves mango (I'm sure) and the Mango Honey Toast Cup definitely didn't disappoint. The mango was so smooth and sweet. Again, the most surprising thing was that even though the cubed toasts were put into this cup squished with whipped cream and fruits, they remained so crispy and dry. The toasts were the best part of this dessert for sure.
The Strawberry Lover Honey Toast Cup was just as good if you like strawberries.
