The dishes performed adequately; the cream of vegetable soup had a strong aroma, while the chicken dishes were somewhat dry. The canelé in the dessert was a pleasant surprise, and the pudding was smooth and delicious.
The restaurant environment features retro-style decor, with mottled walls, wooden furniture, and dim lighting, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.
Located near Panshi High School, "Flickering Business" looks like an ordinary old house from the outside. Once you push the door open, you’ll be captivated by its retro-style decor. The weathered walls, wooden furniture, and dim yellow lighting create a tranquil and warm atmosphere, a space where one can easily spend an entire afternoon.
This time, I ordered a few savory dishes and desserts, and the overall performance was decent. I would recommend it more as a café for a break rather than coming specifically for a main meal.
"Creamy Vegetable Soup"
Flavored with cumin, it has a prominent aroma, rich but not greasy, making it the best performer among the savory dishes today. I would give it 4 stars.
"Warm Chicken Salad"
A bit disappointing; the lettuce was fresh, but the chicken was somewhat dry.
"Big Breakfast"
The bacon was fragrant, the pumpkin sweet, and the wild mushrooms and baby corn plentiful. The croissant was flaky and crispy, and the lettuce was fresh.
"Stir-fried Garlic Vegetable Chicken Noodles"
The least flavorful, it was hard to taste the garlic. Although the noodles were hand-made and chewy, and the vegetables were abundant, the chicken was still a bit dry.
"Desserts"
The canelé was the biggest surprise of the day, with a hint of alcohol and rich layers. The pudding was smooth and delightful, definitely worth trying! 🍮🍮 The cinnamon roll was just okay, without any special highlights, and the cinnamon aroma was average.
Bonus points: There was a chubby shop cat lazily walking around, super therapeutic! I love these chubby cats so much! 🐈⬛ Extra points for having a cat, haha.
In summary, this place is great for a cup of coffee and a slice of dessert, a great spot to relax. I personally think it's best to finish lunch and then come here for afternoon tea.
