Hello everyone, I’m the little frog 🐸
My friend wanted to eat desserts, so we arranged to meet near Zhongshan Station at <Hoto Cafe>.

The cafe has quite a lot of seating, and there is a minimum spend of one drink, with no service charge.

⭐️ Caramel Vanilla Pudding $140
The pudding is rich and has a smooth texture, with visible air bubbles, and the small fruit on top is actually peach!!! Although it's a bit sweet, it's still acceptable～

⭐️ Red Heart Guava Vanilla Chiffon Cake $150
It's rare to find desserts made with red heart guava!!!
This red heart guava chiffon cake… has a bit too much whipped cream, but paired with the guava, it’s somewhat refreshing. However, if there was a bit more guava filling, it would be even more refreshing and I would like it more.

⭐️ Chestnut Cheese Cake $150
Chestnut lovers must try this item!!!
This cheesecake is really rich, with some small chestnut pieces inside and topped with chestnut paste, but my friend and I both felt… it was a bit too heavy.

⭐️ Pumpkin and Potato Salad Egg Sandwich $130
This was ordered by my friend. She said the taste was quite good, with lots of ingredients in the egg salad, including large pieces of pumpkin. It’s quite filling, so we took half of the sandwich to go.

⭐️ Brown Sugar Latte $160
The coffee flavor isn’t too strong, and it’s topped with a thick layer of brown sugar, making it quite standard in taste～

⭐️ Sicilian Coffee $160
This was ordered by my friend. I only took a couple of sips, but she thought it was good and sufficiently acidic.

‼️ Conclusion:
There are many cake options, but they tend to be on the sweeter side. Although it’s not inedible, overall… it’s just not to my taste, and I personally don’t have a strong desire to return.

Everyone has a private coffee pocket list that they can visit without any burden when they are too lazy to arrange it. The Hoto Cafe we ​​are going to introduce today is just such a shop. This store is hidden in a quiet alley, less than a 10-minute walk from the MRT station. The store sells a variety of fresh handmade cakes, and the quiet and warm wooden space makes people feel relaxed. Despite its secluded location, it's still hard to get a seat on weekend afternoons.

✅Chestnut cheese: It tastes like a light cheesecake, with molasses chestnuts in the middle and on top, making it soft and delicious. The chestnut whipped cream on top also has a hint of rum, which is very refreshing overall.

✅Latte: The ratio of coffee to milk is quite moderate, and it tastes quite balanced.

✅Tangning Earl Gray Milk Tea: The aroma of Earl Gray is only faintly revealed at the end, and the overall taste is quite satisfactory.
————————————
The dessert cakes in this coffee shop tend to be Japanese-style, simple and pure, the decorations are not too excessive, and the taste is natural and not greasy. The items in the cake cabinet will vary daily, so it is recommended to check the official website before departure. The drinks section is relatively average. Overall, the food here is not enough reason to go out of your way, but if you want to find a quiet place in the city, this is a good choice.

⭐️Food section
Ordered two desserts that day
A pudding and a cake
The pudding itself is very sweet
Quite delicious
The cake itself is paired with fruits and has a very full taste.
Personally, I think these two desserts and cakes are very high quality👌

⭐️Drinks section
I ordered two cups of milk tea that day, one iced and one hot.
It's basically just milk tea, nothing special.
Now I feel like making amazing milk tea is no longer a simple matter🤣🤣🤣

⭐️Atmosphere
Because there were so many people in the store that day
So I can only choose the remaining seats to sit in first
And because the space in the store is not spacious,
The distance between tables is also quite crowded.
So you can often hear the voices chatting next door.

Later, he sat at the big table with other guests.
So basically because there are so many people
It’s hard not to share your location with other people
So if you require a space for two people to talk quietly and chat,
It might be a little difficult here~

However, the interior decoration is very simple and elegant.
Very Japanese style

⭐️Service
No special impression on the service
It may also be because there were so many guests that day
So the staff are basically just doing their job.

⭐️Price
Basically, most coffee shops in Zhongshan District have the same price.
Nothing particularly expensive, nothing particularly cheap
However, with such an environment, I personally think it is well worth the price.

⭐️Location section
Located near the downtown area of ​​Zhongshan District and Showtime Cinema
This is also a first-level battle zone for many cafes.
It's a short distance from the MRT station and bus station.
But everyone who loves coffee shops still comes here one after another!

⭐️Summary
If you are friends who love coffee shops and want to collect them
Of course this one is a must visit!
Although you often have to wait or line up
But you can have delicious desserts and drinks when you enter.

It is very suitable for friends who have watched a movie in Zhongshan District or are shopping nearby.
Come here for a walk, eat a cake and have afternoon tea.
It’s great to have a long chat with someone you’re interested in!
