Made a trip down to Baristart Coffee for an early dinner, and I really love the vibes of this cafe! Itโs centrally located, yet the lighting and ambience is really on point ๐๐ผ Baristart prides themselves on using Hokkaido BIEI Jersey Milk, which is only produced by about 1% of cows in Japan!
We tried the ๐๐๐ข๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐๐จ๐ง (๐๐๐$๐๐.๐๐+) as well as the ๐๐จ๐ค๐ค๐๐ข๐๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐ (๐๐๐$๐๐.๐๐+). Safe to say, the Butadon was my favourite - would rate it a 7/10! Just LOOK at those beautifully placed slices of pork ๐คค The generous amounts of meat, coupled with the savoury & sweet Teriyaki seasoning really was to my liking. However, I did find some slices of pork to be slightly too tough - so just something to take note.
On the other hand, the Hokkaido Carbonara was kinda an overhype.. โน๏ธ thought it wouldโve been really cool to try a carbonara pasta cooked with Hokkaido milk + its one of their featured dishes, but heh honestly think this dish left much to be desired... think it does have quite some potential though so hm Iโll say overall like 5/10.
And to end off our meal, we had the super cute ๐๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ (๐๐๐$๐.๐๐+ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ - ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ค๐ค๐๐ข๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ค)! ๐ป๐จ Except uhm the one we got was kinda disfigured and looks like its v sad even though we kinda ordered it for the gram ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ... HAHAHA but it does taste pretty good!! Basically like a typical bingsu, but hm nothing too unique about it other than how cute it looks. Though I must give credit for the super yumz Hokkaido Milk drizzle so 6.5-7/10 (?)
Overall, I may return for the butadon, but not really sure if itโs worth the trip down. But maybe Iโll try it again one day if Iโm in the area - or if Iโm looking for a place with nice ambience and coffee โบ๏ธ
