Johor Bahru

So they said, kakigori is the middle version of ice kachang and bingsu (and the price too!), but I'm not too sure how it is supposed to taste like - a mountain of coarse chunks of shaved ice that melted pretty fast with ultra sweet syrup? Found this too sweet and jelat for my liking, and it can definitely be shared by 4 or more people.

Imo the most satisfying meal I had in the recent JB trip because of the fish maw! And this was a good change from all the sweet stuff we ate (and smelled).

On a side note, their matcha latte and creme brûlée latte were pretty good and definitely pocket-friendly.

I would prefer more gooey oozy salted egg yolk to go with the underwhelming churros. The churros were too airy and "empty" though I must day the charcoal taste was quite distinct. The french toast was sadly nothing to shout about, especially with such a mundane vanilla ice cream and berries compote. The only thing worth mentioning is probably the pretty good cuppa rose latte that will appeal to those bandung lovers out there.

Would have preferred a less sweet version but was strongly advised/"forced" to order the normal one. Well clearly it was too sweet for me and I wished it was stronger in flavour :/ but refreshing indeed!

Sadly the chocolate flavour fell short of my expectation, though I quite like those small brownies and cakes. It has a high potential for being one-dimensional and making people feel jelat if not shared.

The "spiciness" was really subtle and we were surprised to find that those chocolate-looking blocks at the bottom of the pie were actually lotus paste (cmiiw!) It's citrusy and refreshing, and to pair it with cold beverages on a hot sunny day was a bliss, though sadly as a non-coffee-fanatic, I found the espresso cubes were nothing to rave about. I wonder if such freezing process would actually alter the taste of coffee in general.
