Being the talk of the town for over a year now, Dazzling Cafe is a one of a kind cafe where simple things are made magical. Bread desserts are its main specialties with ingredients freshly flown from France every day. For that day, we ordered 5 loaf of honey toast!
Classic Honey Toast!
Overall, the hype is not for nothing. It was good, different and over the 5 bread desserts we ordered, they were consistent. Unfortunately, being consistent also means tasting the same. And I guess 5 loaves of honey toast for 7 people are just way too much! Anyways, this is definitely worth a try if you are in Taipei! A little warning before hand, make your reservations early as the little darling made the booking a month before we flew off to our holidays!

Condiments for the day was cold stewed bean curd, bamboo shoots, beans and braised taufu pok! Most were pretty good with the exception of the bamboo shoots! I could have easily had another one of the braised taufu pok with rice. It was really delicious! Tasted something like the ones accompanying traditional Chinese Herbal Pork but even tastier! Slurps!
The main meal that day was the braised beef noodles. With a choice of thin/thick handmade lai mien (pulled noodles), we all went for thin considering the thick one had already finished selling. Unfortunately, I am never a fan of lai mien as I often found that it was rather thick (despite having the thinner one) and failed to absorb any of the delicious broth. As for the soup, I had the spicy one which was a big FAIL compared to my peers who had the classic broth. I’d have to say, the classic broth was rich and flavourful! Everything a soup base should be! And now, for the beef, it was decadent. Despite looking dry and cut too thick, it is everything I did not expect! It was moist with melt in your mouth bits. Really surprising! If I had to guess, it was the translucent swirly parts of the meat that made it taste so good!
