The dessert selection is a highlight, featuring Hokkaido soft serve, creamy puddings, and parfaits layered with fresh fruit and azuki that showcase the region's celebrated dairy. The VivoCity outlet offers a casual, family-friendly atmosphere with views of the harbour, making it a pleasant stop after a day of shopping.

The exterior of the restaurant looks very inviting. Order from the self help kiosks outside the restaurant and get a buzzer number. When the food is ready the buzzer will buzz.

The portion is small for the price but just right for me.
