Helio Cafe [Closed]

This is a cafe recommended by my friend. The owner specialise in teas and desserts. If you like to enjoy a cup of tea, just tell him how you are feeling and he will be able to recommend you the most suitable one from his vast collections of teas. Yet, be mindful that the owner do whip up exortic dishes for lunch/dinner. He will use interesting edible flowers, fruits as well as air-flown ingredients which are beyond your imagination!

*********

[[ Starter ]]


An Apricot Apple Salad with grilled Watermelon
A refreshing salad with edible flowers imported from some country. The mix taste of sweet and sour just simply whet our appetite! 
[[ Main Course]]

Tarragon Garlic Chicken
Chicken baked inside golden brown crust
 
Revealing whole chicken in tasty broth, but the meat was kinda dry though. 

Salmon Pocket

Salmon crust with creamy sauce ( Ya, again! Our chef just love crusts ^^) 


The crust was packed with fresh salmon and air-flown mushroom. Love the sauce! It blended so well with the salmon that we just got to continue with another spoonful. And the waitress was nice enuff to give us extra serving of the sauce =) 

[[ Dessert ]]

Strawberry Pot Pie
Haha, another crust dish. Inside the crust, we found thick chocolate with strawberries bites, which added tinge of sour. 
Chocolate Pudding
This was the best among all three! The top layer was crispy choco, while the bottom layer was super duper thick choco. Choco Fans would love this. 
Tiramisu
Hmm, a bery different tiramisu. It's more cheesy than normal. So cheesy that the cheese seem to be a sponge cake. Well, hard to describle... dint really like. But again, it really depend on individual's liking. 

Fusion Tea
Finally, a nice pot of tea to end the course

Personally, I find the concept quite refreshing..I mean not many places cook with edible flowers or fruits. The owner is definitely devoted to cooking, from the carefully picked ingredients to his creativity displayed in every dishes. But of coz some might be too "adventureous" and the prices are well, kinda steep ( Food above are meant for a group of 4, $40 for each pax). 

Did I forget to say that food are " tailored-made"?? YES! I really meant that. Make a reservation with the owner, and he would design dishes ( depending on what's seasonal) for your group. COOL HUH
