Just a few days ago, my mom and I went to a local place for a quick dinner before heading home. We stopped by Aberdeen Centre and happened to stumble upon a nicely lit and upscale dining area in the first floor of the large mall. It happened to be Sugarholic Cafe, an Asian cafe that looks nothing like your typical Hong Kong Style restaurant.
We decided to have their special that night which included a drink, main course, and dessert. We ordered their honey green tea and iced fresh fruits tea for our drinks. To my surprise, both drinks were delicious! Although a little on the sweet side, the honey green tea was so refreshing. The iced fresh fruits tea was also good, however, it was a little disappointing when we found out that the tea was simply fruit infused, not anything special.
Next we had our main course: Seafood Miso Cream Udon and Paella Style Seafood Risotto. The seafood miso cream udon was quite amazing. Although mixing miso and cream sauce was the last thing I expected that would complement each other, it was fantastic as it created an everlasting taste of goodness in my mouth. The risotto on the other hand was a little bizarre. When it arrived at our table, we smelled a hint of curry in the dish, something that is not expected in a paella style dish. We were also looking for a more savoury and sour taste judging by the colour of the dish, but we were surprised when we discovered that the dish was quite spicy. Although the dish itself looked amazing, its taste turned us off.
Finally we had our desserts. I ordered the Green Tea Lava Cake while my mom ordered the Mango Toast Parfait. Both dishes were very creative, as it combines the popular flavours of East Asia with more Western style dessert choices. Both dishes were not too sweet, which is perfect for those who need to watch out for their sugar intake. My favourite between the two would be the Mango Toast Parfait, because it gave me a different texture with each bite of the dessert. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience!
