The lava cakes are really good! They're essentially flavored crusts around the leaky bun egg stuff you find in dim sum. It's probably a bit sweeter than the leaky bun stuff but it works very well as dessert.
The other mooncake style pasties are much more mild compared. Good for people who want less sweet. Not my favorite but still good for some.
Unfortunately, they're not cheap.
The service was good and I'd definitely recommend everyone try each of them!
I've had their cakes a few times and each time did not disappoint. Service was also good. The cashier was nice and helpful.
I got the variety pack of 6. It was tasty and still liquid after a day, but I felt some of the flavors were a bit light. Overall good, but make sure you call in to make sure they have them available.
This place was highly recommended by my friend but everytime I'm around this area, it is always closed. Luckily, I finally get around to this area in the afternoon and, wow, I should have visit this place earlier!
They have 2 types of Asian pastry: solid filling or liquid running filling. They also call it mooncake, but it's not the traditional type of moon cake. Anyhow, from their in-store posters, I thought these mooncakes will be too sugary for my liking. Well, it's actually the total opposite. The inner eggy filling isn't sweet at all. The crust is very colorful and with good texture. Each one is about $4 but a box of 6 is $19.
I'll definitely encourage everyone to try it out!
A friend brought some desserts over. Tried the “lava” cake. Lava in quotes because it’s Asian style so not chocolate. The lava is made from egg yolk like the ones served at dim sum. Except this pastry is flaky instead of a bun and the flavor of the egg yolk is much better. It has a hint of rose or something floral in it. Very enjoyable.
Excellent desserts. My daughter loved the lava moon cake. I enjoyed the non lava cake. Very reasonable prices too.We will definitely come back.
