Tl;dr get a mango mousse cake. Don't order their chocolate flavoured cake unless you don't want to taste chocolate 🤣.
.......
Ordered the mango mousse in a box and had a custom chocolate cake made a couple months back.
The mango was definitely the winner. It was light, real mangos with cream and not overly sweet. I'd say 1 person could finish it all but 2 is more comfortable on the waist line.
My issue with the chocolate cake was well, it didn't taste like chocolate at all. I could have sworn they said they were going to use dark chocolate but I couldn't taste any of that. When the website indicated this bakery is a mixture of Western and Chinese, I was expecting much stronger flavours. The spongy cake part was perfect but the chocolate parts were more mousse texture. If you've ever had a typical Asian fruit mousse cake, that is essentially what you're getting but with an elaborate visual design.
So although my guests much preferred my cheaper but Western grocery store chocolate cake, the custom cake I got looked phenomenal in photos lol.

Always wanted to try this place out as we kept passing by it.
We stopped by for takeout on Saturday morning and there was already a long line of people inside the restaurant. We ordered plantains, jerk shawarma wrap, and jerk chicken on rice. Everything was fairly priced compared to markham or dt prices.
The plantains were thickly cut and just reminded me of a firm brown (sweet) banana slice.
The wrap was dry, even though we ordered with garlic mayo sauce, and the chicken was okay...
The star of the show was definitely the jerk chicken on rice!! Chicken was tender and juicy, nothing overly spicy, yummy gravy and a big portion. We'll definitely come back for more of this one.
