"Absolutely adorable and delicious! We had the Mini Dessert Box, and each little dish was unique and tasty, from the soft puddings to the fluffy waffles and that super cute animal-shaped dessert in the center. The portion was perfect for two people to share without feeling too full. Beautifully presented and a fun way to try a variety of flavours in one go. Highly recommend for a cute dessert date or treat with a friend!"

"Their mochi milktea was very good. The mochi was milky, sweetened and paired perfectly with the black millktea. The dessert mix and match #1 was okay. Caramel pudding was not creamy at all. It was very watery. The tapioca had a really good chew as well as the taro mochi balls. The jellies were good."

"I finally got the chance to try this place out after passing by it so many times and I love it!! I tried the milk tea hot pot and mochi qflles, which were both very good. Both of them not too sweet which I absolutely enjoyed. But the mochi qffles were definitely the star of the show. The waffles were very fragrant, served with chewy mochi in between them, and topped with ice cream. It was very delicious and affordable as well!!"
