Had this on new years eve and it really hit the spot. The hot tea came in fun dispenser and my whole group was very amused by it. The honey toast was big enough that we had to split it three ways, but so worth it, it was delicious. We also got a variety of fried appetizers, it was perfect.

We ordered the Thai Tea Lava Toast and it was really good but the portion size was huge. Very difficult for two people to finish! I would have preferred more fruit. OH Dessert caramelizes their bananas which I sorely missed. The bread was perfectly toasted and presentation was beautiful. I was going to give a three ... star for atmosphere because not only was the music freaky but it was unreasonably loud... but I think one of the workers heard me say that they should play a certain song by The Weeknd and actually skipped the current one to play it 😭 Thank you U:Dessert Story workers!

Recipe: Chocolate Matcha Lava Cake
"At Tammy Boonlieng, you’ll find a variety of photogenic Asian-inspired sweets, including this riff on the classic 1980s dessert. At the cafe, the cake serves with a scoop of matcha ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream, but the dessert is so rich, it’s enjoyable on its own."
