Below are the items ordered and their prices 🔻
👉🏼 Lava Chocolate Cake (Birthday Gift) 👍🏼
Absolutely perfect! The portion is just right for two people to share. It's crispy on the outside but retains a moist texture, and the molten center isn’t overly sweet. The cream on top doesn’t feel heavy at all.
👉🏼 Salmon Cream Sauce Vegetable Pizza $380
An 8-inch square pizza. The creamy sauce pairs wonderfully with the savory salmon and is topped with mushrooms and zucchini.
👉🏼 Weekday Set Menu $280
🔺 Caesar Salad
The lettuce is pretty fresh, with cherry tomatoes, nuts, dried fruit, and corn.
🔺 Milk Tea
It seems to be pot-boiled milk tea since I didn’t see any sediment, but it tastes very much like "Three O'clock."
🔺 Spicy Beef Soup Pasta
A pasta that surprisingly comes with soup. I can only say it’s an unusual experience 😅. The weakness is the broth; it tastes just like a milk-added meal. The noodles may have soaked in the soup a bit too long and didn’t absorb much flavor, resulting in a dish that lacks harmony. I don’t eat spicy food, but I think it was more flavorful than spicy—this just has a fragrant spice without real numbing heat. The beef is cut thick like you’d find in beef noodle soup, and it’s tender and cooked just right.
👉🏼 Weekday Set Menu $280
🔺 Bread
A small roll, not the usual soft dinner rolls; it has a denser texture that gives a nice wheat flavor. Even though it has no filling, it's surprisingly good.
🔺 Creamy Onion Salmon Soup +$50
Adding this essentially means the weekday set menu is pasta served with bread. The soup is nice and contains a good amount of salmon chunks.
🔺 Sea Urchin Sauce Mentaiko Cream Shrimp Pasta 👍🏼
The flavor is amazing; every bite is full of freshness. The sea urchin sauce pairs perfectly with the mentaiko! 🔥 The sauce is just right, clinging tightly to the noodles, with the sweetness of sea urchin and the texture of the mentaiko. There are four relatively large shrimp, and the taste is normal.

Overall, the dishes have above-average flavors, but the prices for single items are relatively high.
Fortunately, this time I visited during a weekday and could choose the set menu, located on the 4th floor of Zhongmao New World, the first store after exiting the elevator.

Additionally, I've seen many reviews regarding parking.
❗ On 2025.12.26, it was confirmed that there are no parking discounts available for any parking lot! This includes the basement of the building. This is a rather strange small downside, as usually parking in shopping malls provides discounts. The parking lot does not seem to have a landmark established on maps. The original Times location indicates it has closed. Initially, I planned to park in the cultural district across the street (Southern district), with the same billing rates.
