They also do have a few yummy flavors you choose from if you are not such a big fan of chocolate like me. You can also choose the Ma Mere, which is a light sponge cake with cream and berries.... Guaranteed to wow that girl friend of yours. One of my other favourite has always been strawberry short cake. Creamy vanilla cream layered sponge cake infused with fresh succulent strawberries is what I deemed as calories well consumed...
The quality of the ingredient they use is pretty good I must say. The cakes a classically designed and don't put your hopes too high if you wanna write a message. Usually you don't have much space. Perhaps you could just stick a post it or something. The cakes are small but decked with goodness.... heavy yet every small slice counts.... Its yummy and very balanced in sweetness. Good for those who counts their calories intake as its really quality food.
Besides cakes you could also buy meringues or little cute colorful macaroons. Sliced cakes are also available if you wanna try out the flavours. Exceptionally yummy french patisserie with a good backing of a Japanese food franchise group. Oh yar... service... its just so so.. No extra mile, just simple box packaging with some candles and plastic knife...
Price: 3/5 (Its a little pricey)
Quality: 4.5/5 (good stuffs used)
Service: 2.5/5 (these days we cannot imagine the extent of service these cake stores give to get return business)
Will I come back: Maybe
Will I intro my friends: Just for the Guanaja

With its shiny new packaging and various flavours of what we usually call Kopi O or Kopi Si comes this new concept retail cafe at the Star Vista. I walked past it a few times and finally went in for a munch. Its not a big place. Indoor sitting you can accommodate about 15 tables of groups of fours. The alfresco sittings are pretty nice, shaded by gazebo and near to lots of greenary, however it can be too warm to be sitting outside on a hot day like this. So i opt to sit indoors with the nice cool breeze of the airconditioning.
The food served is a mix of eastern and western delights. You have appetizers such as prawn fritters, chicken wings and hey Chor (which is a traditional prawn roll). Main courses at an utmost interesting. They have this Soft Shell Chilli King Crab with nasi kuning.. Its completely fusion yet oriental in a way. The toast they serve has also a interesting combination like Roti Barka Assam Ninas which is sourish tamarind sauce served with ham and pineapple slices.... and not to mention the array of colorful Coffee concoction available.
As we were there for a quick bite, we ordered some what we deemed as finger food and their Gula Melaka kopi.. I;'ve got this soft spot for everything GULA MELAKA and the coffee tasted fabulous. The aroma that infused my nose is heavenly and the coffee was smooth. The gula melaka has a slight woody tinge to it yet its sweet and tentalizing. Very good coffee I must say.
We also had baked rice and some hay chor. The food is pretty yummy, not extraordinarily good but good enough for chit-chats and simple meals.
Service is good..., staff friendly and my experience is pleasant.

Designed with a modern chinese chic concept, The chairs are comfortable with backing, tables wide enough to accommodate alot of food and china dining wares made of good quality burnt ceramics that made the entire experience very pleasant.
Service is like the busy chinese restaurants, loud voices calling here and there, dishes carried in and out, its noisy dining, however table conversations among ourselves can still be processed adequately. Love the little details they put in, like while we are suppose to fix our own shredded pork into the bun, we are given disposable plastic gloves to wear to do the job. On top of that, while we tasted our savoury soup in a bamboo cup, we had to remove the shell of the prawn inside and there we were given another pair of disposable gloves to do just that. Its these fine details that made them stand out from others.
The food tasted fabulous and I love their drinks menu, particularly the soursop juice ($4.90) that came in a freeze. They also do have this interesting sweet corn drink that i never had the courage to try.
For appetizer, we tried the drunken cockles ($5.90) which is cockles marinated with spices such as garlic and etc. Tasted unique and refreshing.
The pork belly with garlic is our favourite ($7.90) and we ordered 2 servings of this. Very refreshing and chewy, yet you would like more after you have tasted one.
Bamboo Herbal Prawn ($4.90) is a savory soup with prawns and herbs, very tasty and healthy and the prawns juicy with such sweetness. May contain some chinese wine... which is heavenly.
Shredded meat with bun ($3.90) is one of my favourite. Imagine this, well fried pork and condiments stuffed in a crispy skinned fluffy bun sprinkled with sesame. Crispy, juicy and flavors exploding in your mouth.
Also the Putien Mee Suar ($23.90) is something of a must have to taste the culture and heritage of the people of putien.

My last visit to this exhibition was my first and I had a shocked. First to greet me are the Cosplay dressers posing like their manga's outside the halls, all elaborately dressed with complete make-up that resembles the anime they represent, some in plastic suits and some with large spanning wings that looked so real. While the enthusiastic photographers clicked away, some even calling out to them to pose for pictures.
As i entered the hall, more of these exotic creatures greeted me and on stage, they have a program in which cosplay participants are suppose to imitate the anime as much as possible. One dressed in patent red plastic suits resembling some Japanese anime walking down the RUNWAY is singing and dancing away to the themed song, mouthing the Japanese words EXACTLY according to the song... Its so surreal, its as if i'm watching some Japanese anime.
While i browsed the booths and exhibits, I could find all the toys and characters I once loved. Spiderman, Iron Man and all the other Marvel characters was there, in the forms of collectible toys, Transformers both the new toys and the old collectibles are available as exhibits and some with exorbitant price tags. I must say its an extremely colorful, eventful and fun exhibition.
The merchandises sold were out of the world cute, fun, interesting and all the other intriguing words I can find in my dictionary. The toys, dolls, figurines, stationary, collectibles, posters, wall vinyls, t-shirts and other merchandises are not what you can usually find in the shops, I must say they are pretty exclusive to the exhibition. If you looking for that perfect gift for your child who loved anime, manga or cartoons in general or perhaps you want to have a quirky piece or super cool figurine intricately made and designed to resemble the multiple pieces of the TRANSFORMERS, then you should visit the exhibition and pick one up. Remember to bring more CASH!
Its truly an event of the year, something to make the young and old excited about.

The seafood is also delicious. The flaming prawns were of a good size with a garlicky sauce on top and the deep fried calamari is crispy and springy. I also love the serving size of the seafood platters as I find it good for 3 or 4... I ever tried this seafood platter for 2 and find that too much for one meal, so I would suggest for 3.. Maybe you could order the seafood platter and a chowder each. Talking about chowders, their chowder is so smooth, creamy and flavourful.
The food is yummy but service is not really good. Pricing I find it okay worth it.. especially for lunch sets its really worth it. Love the food and just the food...

Will I bring my friends: YES.. the more the merrier!
