Came here for dessert.It is quite a small shop. There are a total of 16 chairs. 8 outdoor and 8 indoor.Everything that was displayed had limited quantity. I decided to buy the Ginger Brulee Tart($4.10 after discount). Because I love ginger. Took one bite and I could taste the sweet custard and the spicy ginger. It tasted a little like gingerbread cookies. However, the ginger was very overpowering with it's spiciness. My tastebud could not really take it so I did not finish my tart. Not suitable

It tasted a little like gingerbread cookies. However, the ginger was very overpowering with it's spiciness. My tastebud could not really take it so I did not finish my tart. Not suitable for kids or for people with strong tastebud. It's a pity. If only they tone down the ginger, it would be better.
My friend bought the Fuji- A light green tea mousse complimented with a lychee gelee insert and a soft green tea sponge base. The mousse was not the light and fluffy kind but more of the thick and kueh-like kind. The lychee from the jelly was quite mild. You could not taste the lychee unless you were looking for it. Quite a weird combination, lychee with green tea. However, I like the shape of it. Looks like Mount Fuji.
The Ispahan- Layers of rose bavarian cream and raspberry mousse with a lychee gelee middle and lychee fruit. This mousse was lighter than the Fuji. The top layer is sweet while the bottom is acidic. Not a nice combination.
Strawberry Shortcake- Lightly sweetened whipped cream and juicy fresh strawberry, sandwiched between layers of soft sponge cake. The cream really was not too sweet and the strawberries were acidic. It goes well together unlike the Ispahan. The sponge cake could be softer and lighter.To me, this was not a trip worth making.
