In order to get in more practice before my driving exit test next month, I volunteered to drive my mom around while she ran her errands. This involved getting up early, which is something I find little pleasure in doing, but will make the back-to-school transition significantly easier.
After morning errands were finished, I suggested trying out a new place for lunch: Go For Tea.

When we arrived, I was surprised at how large the interior of the restaurant was. Based on photos uploaded onto various networks/restaurant review apps, the inside was much more spacious than expected. It had a modern feel that was juxtaposed by the gaudy artificial leftover Christmas decorations. This is not to say that the decorations weren't visually appealing; they just didn't seem to fit with the rest of the decor.
The strange choice of music also caught my eyes - well, ears. To avoid classifying the style into an inappropriate genre, I will simply state the the tunes were more fitting for a cozy Moroccan diner than a sophisticated afternoon tea joint.
Service was decently fast, and our waiter attended to us in a timely manner, though not always with the most friendliest expression.

There was one thing that bothered me quite a lot, though. And that was how dried up splashes from soup-based dishes remained on the seats. Crumbs had been cleaned off the table, but the seats were messier than I would have preferred. (Side note: the washrooms weren't particularly clean either...)
Food-wise, all three items that we ordered were of excellent quality: the Hot Mixed Fruit Tea soothed our senses while leaving a tangy yet slightly sweet in our mouths, and the Black Sesame Thick Toast was just a bundle of crispy, fragrant goodness (if that description even makes sense). The Minced Pork with Vermicelli in Soup contained a fewer amount of toppings than I would have liked, but was just the perfect size to share among two people, especially when neither eat much.
I can definitely see myself returning for their food, but do not anticipate seeing splashed seats again. (Let's just hope someone notices the extremely distinct dots on the otherwise beige seats and wipes them clean.)
Returning back to Mississauga for one more quick errand at the mall, I picked up a Honey Pudding Milk Tea w/ mini tapioca and grass jelly from my favourite bubble tea joint, Bubble Republic.
