We actually ate here a while back. Around 2 weeks ago, for celebrating belated birthday of p-chan XD

We was actually torn between this place and another one but since we though this one look cosy, we went in. Since our little gathering took hours so of course cosy have to be one of the important factors XD and i was glad we went in. The decor details is so nice, i can't appreciate it when we were standing in front of the restaurant but when we went in, i saw a lot of detailed that went into the decor. I was surprised to see they use real books on the table. It did feel like we are in some european house taking lunch XD i adore the decor!



Then we ordered, mitsu got salmon oatmeal and mango yogi, p-chan got fish katsu on egg mayo and Mika cappuccino, and i got chicken nabe with purple lust. When they drink came we kinda get a tad to excited snapping here and there XD all of us get excited with an appearance of pretty food so they win us with the presentation. But mitsu got problem with the mango yogi, she said it's too sweet for her so she swapped with my purple lust which actually was still too sweet for her but better compared with the mango yogi. She even add water on the purple lust! I think she should stay away from all the syrup flavored drinks! And mika cappuccino taste... Bland, it's just weak coffee, abundant milk... Cute appearance but just bleh.

On to the food, i actually like the fish dish, both of it. And i kinda dislike mine. It's just... Salty soup with chicken and rice, simple taste nothing spectacular. While fish dish has much flavor. Nut again mitsu doesn't really like tomato puree so she swap with p-chan for the fish katsu XD personally i like the salmon oatmeal it was something different and it taste good, except that the fish flavor us a bit off they got fishy flavor, maybe they didn't use fresh fish? And the fish on egg is a good fish and chips. We also ordered sweet potato chips and hojicha panacotta. The chips is ok, i just wish they make it sugar glisten chips XD but it's not they served it with chilly sauce (i thought it went better with tomato sauce) and the hojicha panacota is a ok too, the hojicha taste like coffee. It taste good but it's just that, nothing mentionable. Maybe the green tea is better.



Overall i actually quite like it. The price not too expensive, the food is quite good. The place is cute. I actually like to go back again.

If you go there make sure you asked what other menu that they offer, they got a lot of stuff that they offer but they didn't put on a menu, a seasonal dishes or drinks ;)
