| - It's still on the more expensive side, and I've definitely had better bang for my buck, but this time was alright. I bought a mango mochi (the other flavors were turning harder/more stale), one of each of two kinds of egg tarts, two chestnut tarts, and one strawberry meringue slice. I asked for the chestnut tarts and the strawberry meringue slice to be placed in individual boxes, but was told that they didn't have individual boxes. That strikes me as odd. What if someone just asks for one slice? What do they pack it in?
I didn't eat the egg tarts, so I can't comment on those. I did try the chestnut tart. At $3, I wasn't blown away, but it wasn't terrible. There's chestnut paste piped on top of the tart, but the tart itself is just pastry with flavored cream inside. It tasted oddly of cinnamon. The strawberry meringue was tasty, and at $4.25/slice, an alright deal, but I prefer my meringue sans chocolate, and it also had a pastry base. I wasn't expecting pastry. I also wish there was more cream and more strawberries. All in all though, it was alright.
Service was quite grouchy. I asked for a plate because I wanted to eat the strawberry meringue slice in the bakery. The lady that handed it to me frowned. Um...okay then. I see why they don't have a tip jar...
