True's Tea & Totoro Cafe: Another Double Adventure~~

I was originally planning to spend about 30 minutes at each café, but it took about an accumulative hour for the food and drinks to arrive...I ended up getting back home by 2am -__- not the best night, haha.

The interior of Totoro Café is really adorable and modern. I could tell that some furniture and items were from IKEA (the giant cups had IKEA labels), but the colorful paintings, pillows, and furniture gave the place a youthful atmosphere. I ordered a hot honey chrysanthemum tea and tomato and cheese Chinese crepe, and my friend ordered black sesame toast and a cold tea (forgot what flavor). They used real chrysanthemum tea but cheap honey, but I didn't dislike it. The Chinese-styled crepe wasn't too bad either; the cheese and tomato flavors were balanced, and it looked pretty simple to make. As for the toast, the worker had to go to the freezer to get the toast -__- not a big fan of frozen food, but it was okay.

 

After our long stay at Totoro, we took off to True's Tea. The service took forever, but I wasn't that disappointed. I ordered a cold winter melon red tea and fried tofu. I usually like my tea hot because I find it more fragrant and tasteful, but the waitress just didn't get my order right -__- oh well. I liked the fried tofu too - although it was too spicy for me (I love spicy food, my tolerance is meh), they somehow made the tofu quite juicy.
