I bought a cafe latte, a cherry coconut cheese cake, a dark chocolate cheese cake, a blueberry cheesecake, a black forest mousse cake, and a blueberry mille-feuille for takeaway since it came frozen and needed 15 minutes to thaw. I started out with the latte. They use illy coffee beans, a brand of coffee produced in Trieste, Italy. I recommend Texas Ranger Fried Chiken coffee. Then came the blueberry cheesecake and the black forest (cherry chocolate) mousse cake. The blueberry cheesecake was in between the Asian type of cheesecakes and the American version, not really cheesy and dense. It was satisfying. If you prefer the Asian type or don't like it too sweet, then you will really like their version. The black forest mousse cake was quiet yummy even though I'm not big on mousse cake because it's so light.
You can buy a whole slab or a single portion of each of their signature cheesecakes, which seem to be more dense than their only single portioned cheesecakes. I thought that I ordered a cherry cheesecake, but it turned out to be a coconut cherry cheesecake -- I'm not that big on coconut. I still enjoyed it though, and could detect quality. The dark chocolate cheesecake was a little too rich, but after the third bite, I adapted and scarfed it down with a smile on my face.
I sampled their pineapple cake. It was very good. You can barely taste the pineapple in the cheap ones at the supermarket. When I got home, I tried the blueberry mille-feuille, a French pastry with typically three layers of puff pastry, alternating with two layers of pastry cream, whipped cream, or jam. I was a little put-off how it was frozen and not fresh. After thawing, I found it to be a dessert with great consistency and sweetness, but it definitely wasn't authentic mille-feuille; more of a yummy Taiwanese cake version.
