Right in the heart of DiHua street, Pallas Cafe is all about its afternoon tea. I am a big fan of this area, and will often come on the weekends. Here are some of my favourite spots for a bite to eat:<\/p>\n

  1. Squid Balls<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Rice Noodles<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Summer Tree Iced Desserts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The smell of coffee when you open the door is intoxicating. For the aficionados among you, you’ll be happy, for sure.<\/p>\n

    ^^Too true.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I went for a cup of the hand poured Brazilian coffee, which came with a couple of nuts (no idea why, really. Do nuts go with coffee?)<\/p>\n

    I also couldn’t help but order a slice of pound cake, too. Light, fluffy and also fairly light in flavour. It was tasty enough for an afternoon tea where I came for the coffee and the creme caramel, though…<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    We also ordered an interesting HoJiCha<\/a> latte. The foam is a little unsettling at first, as it’s kind of borderline brown\/green. But, it tastes pretty good. I am a fan of HoJiCha, anyway, so I already knew the kind of flavour that was going to come through. It’s an earthy bitterness that is delicious. But, I am not much a fan of latte, so it didn’t particularly suit me.<\/p>\n

    This is what we really came for, though. A delicious Creme Caramel.<\/p>\n

    \"DSC04412\"<\/p>\n

    For me, Creme Caramel should have a bitter sauce and a strong vanilla flavour with a silky texture similar to panna cotta. This did, but it just lacked that extra something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Maybe it was the 30 minute wait for it after we had ordered it that overshadowed my impression of what it was going to be.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    My overall opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you’re in the area looking for a nice cup of coffee and a tasty creme caramel, then stop by. But, if you’re on the hunt for an excellent Creme Caramel, then let me know where you found.<\/p>\n
