Despite the name, they do not serve "sweet tooth-ers" only, but also targeting another group of people for the usual meals.

Zen ($8.80) which says aromatic yuzu and fromage blanc with citrus center on a jaconde sponge. Strawberry Shortcake ($6.80) made with fluffy white sponge, layered with succulent strawberries and luscious vanilla cream.

If you are not sour-taker, Zen might be a skip then. It is pretty sour, but still manageable as compared to those sour-coated sweets?

Matcha ($3.50) which is matcha Italian meringue buttercream served on a full-bodied matcha cake made with green tea from Japan. Chocolate Cream Cheese which is made of Valrhona chocolate with cream cheese sprinkle and Valrhona chocolate shavings. Lemon Raspberry ($4.00) which is lemon Italian meringue buttercream made with homemade raspberry jam core on a vanilla buttermilk cake sprinkled with raspberry croquelin.

I love their cupcakes, generally. I love it because their cake is firm and doesn't drop bits and pieces as you bite. Furthermore, its comes with a little sticky feeling in your mouth which makes it easier to chew smile

Lemon Meringue ($5.80), a luscious tangy lemon tart made with French churned butter on a biscuit base. Foret Noir ($9.80) consisting of Valrhona dark chocolate mousse, Kirsh soaked cherries and Kirsh cream on a dark Valrhona chocolate genoise.

I love their Foret Noir. It is expensive if compared with the other cakes, but worth the price! Need not necessary be an alcoholic drinker, as the taste can be pretty mild. In fact, its the cherries that are being soaked, so you can skip that if you prefer.

Earl Grey Creme Brulee ($6.80). Taste of TWG gentlemen earl grey tea leaves, and topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. It was an interesting taste for me initially, but subsequent feedings makes me feel weird with the tea taste.

A plate of macarons smile We have the Lemon, Peanut, and Salted Caramel flavors, each costing $2.50. The macaron shells are not airy, where I tried before macaron shell with "empty spots" making it seems like eating crispy biscuit?

Finally, Irish Cream Alcoholic ($4.50). It is a Guinness stout cupcake with whiskey ganache filling and Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting.

Chanced upon this small cakery shop, and what attract me is the simplistic color and interior design.

While the seats are limited, it does still gives you the warm and welcoming feel.

Not sure if their food menu is changed daily, as present date is indicated at the top of the menu. But based on what we saw, they served salmon/prawn pasta, chicken meatball pasta, nasi lemak, tuna sandwich, turkey ham and turkey bacon sandwich, and french fries. Again, a simple menu for the likes of the locals!

French Fries ($5.00). One of those fries which I prefer over the skinny fries we have in fast food restaurants...

Prawn Pasta ($14.00). Linguine served with pan-grilled prawns. Look delicious and with crunchy prawns, but linguine is not able to perfect the dish. Personally, the pasta did not get into the likes of mine, which is acceptable for me, as their focus is more on cakes.

Rainbow Beauty ($8.50). Pretty big slice, with beautifully colored layers smile Fair level of sweetness might provoke your tastebuds for more!

Ice Milk Tea (S3.80), and Ice Lemon Honey ($3.00).

Ordered one of their dim sum items, Prawn Dumpling ($3.80).. Nothing special...

Single Roast Duck ($8.80). This actually comes with a rice for a single pax, but crew said it's ok if we want to skip the rice, since we are only keen in trying the duck meat only. Anyway, their duck meat is pretty good.

Also ordered the Canton Chicken Hotpot Set ($22.80), which can accommodate up to two stomachs tongue Vegetable and meat are not re-fillable, but gravy is exceptional. I really love their initial thick and sweet gravy! It is re-fillable, but they simply pour boiling water, which spoil the sweetness...

You can select between seafood or meat, where meat consists of chicken, pork, and beef. Dessert wise, additional $1.90 is for ala-carte desserts out of this page.

We had the Roasted Barley Tea, and upgraded the other to Ice Lemon Tea with aiyu jelly. Both drinks are nice, but only the barley tea is re-fillable tongue

Six side dishes, and a healthier choice of multi-grain rice, inclusive. You can also opt for white rice too!

We had the Fried Kimchi Dumplings for appetiser. Crispiness is just right, and fillings are super tasty.

Here's the highlight! Army Stew with meat, where we requested for only chicken and pork, excluding beef. Soup base is re-fillable as well, and from what I can identify, they have maggie mee, kimchi, golden mushroom, carrot, luncheon meat, and hotdog. Of course, the chicken and pork meat too!

We went for the Korean Bingsoo series, and chosen Special Trio Bingsoo ($6.90) out of the other two, Mango Bingsoo and Strawberry Bingsoo.

Special Trio Bingsoo consists of mango, strawberry, and kiwi. There are also jellies and aloe vera. This whole dessert is so satisfying *\o/*

Before anything else, laid before us are these 12 sauces ($2.00/pax). Not really sure what are all these individual sauces, but they will keep on reminding you to scoop the sauces, as they will be removing it away.. Sounds like we don't get the chance to refill, though we still can...

We had two soup bases, which are pork bone and chicken soup.

Some of the items we ordered from their ala-carte menu. Most we ordered were in a portion, such as Japanese Mushroom ($5.00), Kurobuta Prok Belly ($12.00), Australian Beef Brisket ($18.00), Luncheon Meat ($5.00), Fresh Pork Ball ($8.00) and Fish Ball, Shrimp Wanton ($8.00), Silky Beancurd ($3.50), and Assorted Vegetable ($6.00).

Half Drunken Chicken ($20.00). We were "awed with surprise" as we didn't expect half a chicken to be this size... Thus, we actually ordered another half to make up for this insufficient amount of meat...

Food is barely a pass, though crew service is still satisfactory. Pork Bone soup is tastier than the other, but quality of the soup changed when the drunken chicken together with the alcoholic marination was thrown in...

Our total bill came to about $230, which I felt can be well-spent in other places with nicer food.
