I remember this series is well-known for tea and alcohol.
Tea wine has always been my top choice as a beverage enthusiast,
so I also check if there’s tea wine on the menu when dining.
The overall service here is excellent.
The dishes are somewhat average, but the drinks are really good.
I can visit again, but I might come after I've eaten to just enjoy the drinks.

🌟 Garlic Spicy Shrimp Pasta
Since it’s a stir-fried pasta,
it’s not a total miss for me.
The garlic flavor is ordinary, and the overall seasoning is on the lighter side.
The pasta itself also lacks flavor;
there’s no spiciness or garlic, just a pretty average dish.

🌟 Scallop Asparagus Cream Pasta
The scallops are perfectly seared and are the best main dish.
The cream is rich but doesn’t overpower the flavors.
Overall, the ingredients blended nicely because of the cream.
This dish is quite good!

🌟 Iberico Pork Truffle Risotto
The rice has a bit of texture but hasn’t reached the chewy stage.
There are about five slices of pork.
It’s about right.

Basically, I really like most of the tea wines we ordered.
The tea flavor brings out the nuances of the wine, blending very well.
Tea wine is superb! 😋
