Moment Cafe — Restaurant in Taichung

Really nothing to scream about. A very cute place probably good for kids, in fact all the time we were dining a little kid was screaming his/her lungs out.

Tried their beef risotto with truffle (not sure what the exact name of the dish was) and their milk tea. I’m not a fan of truffle because of its weird smell but upon eating it, the dish was actually delicious and the portion size was quite hearty. Their milk tea was really delicious. I fell in love with the ambiance with two cute cats greeting you by the entrance. I love the atmosphere the place gave which was...
