My friend introduced this place to me as one of the regular places for dessert before she found out more sweet goodness in downtown. This is definitely not a place I would have come if I wasn't across the street at
Hawker's Delight. You wonder how much I can eat after so much food across the street. But, living well is a
Sweet Revenge.
They have a good selection of teas that I have not seen or heard before. I tried their Kyoto Cherry Rose while my friend ordered the Rainbow Almond. Right when I was pouring my tea from my teapot, the sweet fragrance filled the air. The tea itself is not overpowering flavorful though. It is a type of green tea apparently but after the tea leaves were in the teapot for an hour, there was not a single bit of bitterness. Love it!
Of course after a big dinner, we two ladies could only attempt the sampler -- CSI: Vancouver. This chocolate sampler consists of ice creams and their popular chocolate desserts -- white chocolate cheesecakes, chocolate gateau, Sweet Revenge (dark chocolate cheesecake) and the old fashioned chocolate cake. Each piece came in a decent size for one person. The original size for non-sampler order is nearly the size of my palm. I am not sure if I would like to have that much sugar at that hour of the day. Note: The restaurant opens from 7pm till late at night. They weren't too sweet in general but I realize that I was taking a lot of sugar as I made my way through the icing and toppings.

I am not sure if my tongue was being mean to the food but the cakes were very dry. I was basically eating the cakes with the ice cream to make it not as dry. The dark chocolate did not taste like the dark chocolate I imagined. If the cakes were meant to be eaten with the ice cream from the very beginning, then I would not complain about how dry they are. As I saw other plates of cakes were served, there was no ice cream on the side! So... I ended up indulging myself in my cup of tea.
