BASEL ajirochaya changed, for the worse. 😭 Now it's called "ilcicci cafe".
It renovated so now there are more seatings, but the menu shrank.
It used to have large a dessert selection; now it dwindled to half.
It used to sell foreign cheeses, now completely gone.
The flavored water used to have at least five different kinds of citrus, herbs, and fruits. Today Math Teacher could barely taste anything except plain water.
It used to take credit card, now cash only.
What's worse, it used to serve food. Now the food menu may or may not come back in March or April. On its website, it obviously states it serves food.
What's in place is fancy ass knife and fork utensils. Why do I need a knife for eating a mousse cake? That's just wasted resource to wash one more knife.
The staff gave us dry napkin and wet napkin. Why do I need dry napkin when I can wipe everything with wet napkin? That's just wasted resource to throw a piece of paper away.
The chamomile tea is imported from Italy! Wow! The flavor is so light it's difficult to say it's chamomile.
The cake is still delicious. But, with all these changes, I need to re-assess. It's not easy for me to go to BASEL ajirochaya. There are so many other options. It's time to try other dessert shops with better offering and less wastefulness.
