Classic Beef Wellington

The Moody Critic'ss beef odyssey finally concluded when he tried Lulu Restaurant'ss Classic Beef Wellington. Read the review to learn more about it!

Cookie Dough Cheesecake

A certain Sesame Street Muppet would definitely devour this treat in an instant! Can Chelsea Kitchen's Cookie Dough Cheesecake dunk its way to the Moody Critic's heart or will it twist into oblivion just the way the cookie crumbles?

French Toast with Ice Cream

The Moody Critic needed the powers of prime numbers when he recently tried Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe's French Toast with Ice Cream. If 2³ = 8 , 3³ = 27 , what is 1331? Please answer this within a minute or you're toast!

Slice's Red Velvet Cheesecake

A great cake, like a great empire, easily crumbles at its edges. Will Slice's Red Velvet Cheesecake successfully penetrate the Moody Critic's gustatory cells? This daunting task is not a piece of cake.

Dark Cherry Truffle Cake

I think that I shall never see, a chocolate-coated cherry delicacy. A critic whose hungry mouth is prest, against the sweet cake's frosting with zest. A sting from a bee can make you sob in melancholy, can Coffee Bean's Dark Cherry Truffle Cake make you jump with glee?

Philly Cheese Steak

By: The Moody Critic

I started with high hopes but ended up with broken dreams.

The culprit here was none other than the dry, hard, and coarse macrosomic bread. They used a bread which was either too big or too thick. In fact, just eating the sagittal half of the bread with all its filling will suffice. All I tasted in this sandwich was bread, bread, and more bread. The bread clearly overpowered the already limited cheese filling. Sadly, I didn't get that "dangerously cheesy" status by eating this sandwich.

After being served with a stone-cold bread, I therefore conclude that the bread could use some toasting. Applying the laws of thermodynamics, the coffee shop was not even that cold for the sandwich's heat to have easily dissipated.

Don't expect that you'll be using your bare hands with this food. You will need a lot of knife work in eating this sandwich because the bread was too crumbly and the meat and vegetables are all chopped or sliced into pieces. Everything in this sandwich has the the tendency to easily fall on your shirt. But on the positive side, at least the zucchini, tomato, and onion were not overwhelming in taste and quantity.

Lastly, after tasting those fries, I am sincerely hoping they didn't just use some take-out fries from a well-known fast-food chain which already served billions and billions.
