At the beginning of this season's strawberries, the retro cute "Moore House". First to arrive 30 minutes before opening. Ten minutes before the store opened, there were already 7 or 8 groups in line. The crispy millefeuille dough is crispy with a knife and is very easy to eat. The custard cream, which is not too heavy, is in perfect harmony with the sweet and sour strawberries. The size is a little large, but it's light enough to fit.
