What to Order
Three Layer Dessert
A complex dessert featuring pandan mochi cake, crispy batter, strawberry and red bean sauce, coconut ice cream, and mung bean streusel.
"The textures in this were amazing. We decided on the three layer dessert - soft squishy pandan mochi cake surrounded by crispy almost funnel cake like batter topped with the strawberry and red bean sauce and coconut icecream and the crunch from the mung bean streusel?? Omg I was dying for another piece but last call had already happened."
