At Dear Friends, the menu is a delightful exploration of flavors, particularly known for its unique beverages and shaved ice desserts.

Nice place to enjoy shaved ice and fruits, with strong air-conditioning. However, they need a right background music, and burgers are a bit greasy.

Environment was good. Did not enjoy much the desert which was served, slightly too sweet, and portion was quite small for the price. We got the mango dessert, of which the mangoes came quite sour.
