 And of course, here's their over the top milkshake menu! I highly recommend sharing each milkshake between at least 2 pax.

 Right our order was taken they served us our cake. I was expecting them to ask if the cake should be served later after the mains. But I started to realize it's because the kitchen is overwhelmed with meticulously making the milkshakes that they can't cope. After we were done with the cake we waited another 20 minutes before we got our milkshake and 5 seconds after we got our milkshake our main came. So our cotton candy was melting along with the milkshake.

 Nonethless, this cake is very good. It is to be shared amongst 2 and the layers of icing can be too sweet if eaten alone without the cake. The cake itself is quite dense, almost like a brownie and I felt it was tremendously well baked cake. 

2. Old school vanilla milkshake $16++

 When our milkshake came, it was overwhelming. Looking at this tall, "thrown together", random old school snakes that you could probably get from a mama shop with less than a $1 and with cotton candy. When I asked the staff what colour is the cotton candy today, she replied, it depends on which bag they open. So I'm guessing the cotton candy isn't made on the spot. Check out the marshmallows, gem biscuits, love letter, kueh piring (the green big round flaky biscuit which was durian flavoured) and the cotton candy!

 I definitely see why the kitchen was so held up, imagine having to "paint" the sides of this cup with nutella and sprinkle all these colourful rainbow dots and making sure they stick to the sides of the cup!!

 After we spent maybe 10 minutes deconstructing our milkshake, we finally got to drink and it tasted like any other vanilla milkshake I have ever drank. So yes, this is highly instagrammable and highly hyped about. But this is also one I would say it's pretty and though it doesn't tasted bad $16++ is a heavy price for prettiness.

3. Sizzling Beef Chunks $25++

 A chef's recommendation was the sizzling beef chunks 250gm of awesome juicy meat is what it advertised on a sizzling pan. Sadly though, yes the beef was juicy but it was so tough!

 Yes it smelt good, but I think the zucchini tasted better than the beef. It was a disappointment.

 During our entire meal it was difficult to try and get the attention of the staff to refill our glasses of water, you are paying 10% for service charge, but I'm sure if there was a jar of iced water within sight, I would've got up and gotten my fill!

The milkshakes, yes they are pretty. Would I go again? No. 
The cakes, yes they are so good! Would I go again? YES! DEFINITELY
The steak, NO.. just NO! 

Other Info. : Charges 10% service charge and 7% gst
