I recently visited Hanakoya Flower Café, and it was truly an enchanting experience that felt like stepping into a serene garden. The café's interior is beautifully adorned with fresh and preserved flowers, creating a tranquil, almost magical ambiance. The thoughtful decor sets the perfect mood for a leisurely and intimate dining experience.

For takeaway, I tried the Penang Holiao, which featured a crispy waffle paired with homemade Pu Er gelato. While the waffle was delicious, I found the Pu Er ice cream’s flavor to be quite light and subtle, not as strong as I expected.

The dish was beautifully topped with fresh flowers and complemented by local Rojak prawn sauce, oat cookies crumble, and organic osmanthus honey, making it a delightful and unique creation. The ice cream was thoughtfully packed in a paper cup, adding an eco-friendly touch.

One thing to note is that the price is a bit on the higher side, but given the creativity, ambiance, and quality of the dishes, it’s still a memorable experience worth indulging in.
