Lily’s 2-star review:
My Favorite Cafe is NOT MY favorite cafe...
First off... I was intrigued that they had a plethora of milk teas and Asian drinks... but then... as I looked at their menu, their food and dessert options are limited.
FOOD:
Ham, Egg, & Macaroni soup
Ginger "Dun Dan" (Steamed Egg Custard, ginger flavored)
Mango Tapioca
TASTE:
-Ham, Egg, & Macaroni soup... TOO SALTY! ...couldn't finish. :-( ...and the pasta was wayyy overcooked. Meh.
-Ginger "Dun Dan" (Steamed Egg Custard, ginger flavored)... TOO eggy! :-( Sure, the flavor was nice... but Dun Dan steamed perfectly should have a light & fluffy consistency. Steamed too long and it turns out rubbery & eggy.
-Mango Tapioca... well, u really can't screw this one up.
CONVENIENCE: *** [Open LATE, till midnite or 2am, depends on the day.]
AMBIANCE: ** [Wooden chairs are not comfortable.
SERVICE: **** [Sure... the gal was fast and friendly, but too bad the food really sucks.]
PRICE: $ [Most items are under $5, total bill was under $20.]
OVERALL: ** [2-stars... only cuz the service was decent and it's open late.]
There are plenty of other Asian cafes/dessert restos around... also open late... with MORE food options... and now I know, I'd be better off going to those places instead.
Nuff said.
