Great matcha and food spot 😋 Filled with people on a weekend but didn't have to wait too long to be seated from my experience 🙏🏼
Matcha Latte, 4/5
-Personally, the ratio of matcha and milk is to my liking 👍🏼
-Minor clumps. Sieving would be great to offer smoother and consistent drinking experience. But doesn't really affect much to casual diners.
Furin, 4/5
-Great matcha texture and taste of Niko Neko's Ajisai matcha. Offers slightly more complex flavor profile combo.
-The fruit flavours tastes a bit artificial/syrup. For a cafe like this, I think it'll be great if one of the fruits used was fresh at least 🫡
-5/5 presentation
Aonori Umami Fries, 4/5
-Rich with aroma and flavor of cheese and seaweed with spices especially paired w/ seaweed mayo.
-If your dish (like the Sando) comes with fries, it's not a need to order this as the fries also has that aroma and seaweed mayo that it also comes with.
Ebi Sando, 4/5
-Soft, steamed-like bread was used to pair with the shrimp katsu.
-Sufficient seasoning and not too salty. The sauce is pretty much like tar tar sauce, which pairs well.
-Could elevate using a few slices of tomato.
Chicken Parmigiana Sando, 4/5
-Great sauce, chicken's crispiness is just right (not under fried nor over fried).
-Harder bread in comparison to Ebi Sando. Which is better with fried chicken, and it's not as toasted which is really great especially for not destroying your mouth 😅
-Can't really taste the sweet vinaigrette.
-I feel like having a spicy version would be really nice, but it's uncommon for a cafe to have both regular and spicy.
-Slightly salty
Pesto Pasta, 3.8/5
-Texture of pasta is moderately cooked 👍🏼
-Essence of the sauce is pretty nice but it's a bit too salty
-Personally I preferred the salmon to be less fried
Corn Ribs, 4/5
-Similar seasoning with the seaweed fries.
-Slightly overcooked
-Decent of a starter
-Preferably charcoal grilled instead
Cafe layout, design, & facility, 4/5
-Clean and modern washroom
-Smaller sized cafe, a bit congested
-Dining outside is way less favourable than dining inside. Simply because you get more privacy inside and ambience isn't that great for outside seatings.
-They use STTOKE cups, which is a BIIG plus 👍🏼 Awesome!
-The product display table in the middle feels a bit unnecessary. I think the space could've been used more wisely.
-Some light music would be great. But it does get pretty loud from customers
-The main door is pretty unique but for a cafe this size, it takes up a lot of room.
Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Would come again 🙏🏼
