Serendipity3

I have a sudden craving for something sweet. If only I can teleport..

This place is really pretty and it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.


Frozen Hot Chocolate
I think the name is so cute because it's so ironic. Definitely one of the best chocolate drink I've ever had!

Cheesecake Sundae
This is what I really need now to satisfy my craving. A big slice of cheesecake with scoops of strawberry and raspberry ice cream topped with whipped cream and strawberry sauce!
