This is the fifth article in a series about businesses and services in Dalaran, most which can be visited on Tuesday evenings during the weekly Dalaran night market.
As part of this The Lion's Roar has also employed a mystery shopper who has visited the shops, and their comments will be at the bottom of this article.
Dalaran - The bustling streets of Dalaran are filled with not just the usual magical enchantments and academic pursuits, but also the delightful aromas of Kaldorei cuisine courtesy of The Treasure Chest. Keyran "Misty" Mistscribe-Dustcloud and Galysea Shaderunner, the dynamic duo behind this culinary venture, recently sat down with
The Lion's Roar for an exclusive interview, shedding light on their journey and the flavorful offerings of their establishment.
The interview commenced with casual greetings exchanged among Misty, Galy, and the interviewer, setting a friendly tone for the conversation. As they settled in, Misty and Galy delved into their backgrounds and roles within The Treasure Chest.
Misty, known as Doctor Keyran "Misty" Mistscribe-Dustcloud, initially ventured into the business world with Misty's Leathercrafts, which eventually evolved into The Treasure Chest. On the other hand, Galysea Shaderunner, a priestess of Elune, brought her expertise to the table, leading the tradition's segment of the Dustcloud company while co-managing The Treasure Chest with Misty.
Transitioning from an adventuring gear shop to a food stall, The Treasure Chest found its niche in offering Kaldorei street food and drinks, with occasional offerings from the body care and adventurer gear sections. This strategic shift not only revitalized the business but also allowed Misty and Galy to infuse their passion for Kaldorei culture into their culinary creations.

From classic dishes like Mandu to inventive bento boxes, The Treasure Chest offers a unique dining experience that reflects the rich culinary heritage of the Kaldorei.
While managing The Treasure Chest remains a part-time endeavor for Misty and Galy, they express a desire to expand their staff to meet growing demand. Emphasizing inclusivity and a willingness to train, Misty and Galy welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join their team.

Products on offer:
The Treasure Chest sells a range of items, many of which our secret shopper has partaken in. She has purchased notebooks and adventure kits previously, and was very happy with the quality of each, living up to her high standards.
For this article, she tried the food, purchasing a Kaldorei Lunchbox, and was very impressed with both the dish and the standard to which it was prepared.
Quality of service:
The service was friendly and polite at the Treasure Chest. While the food was prepared relatively slowly compared to some food vendors, our secret shopper thought it was worth the wait. She would also like to note that, while waiting for her food, she was sold some horn polish by a pushy goblin.
