Best Cakes in Singapore, 2018

Doing what the French do

A nice looking cafe with full glass windows and nicely laid out sandwiches and pastries .

I was expecting more out of Paris baguette .

But neither the Coffee Nor the croissant was memorable .

A slice of the Le ‘Omm’ cake from Nesuto. Our cake was definitely threatening to collapse and wouldn’t stand up straight, but thankfully, it tasted alright!

I enjoyed that the matcha taste was rather strong, particularly with the coating of matcha powder on top of the cake. (Sadly, they’ve changed the design. I much prefer the older design.) The sponge cake is soft and moist and goes well with the cream. The azuki red bean layer is thin and you can only taste it slightly, but I liked this because I think it’d be too overpowering otherwise.

Overall, it was an average cake for me. I would have preferred if there was some kind of textural contrast (some sort of crunch?) because after a few bites, it feels somewhat one-dimensional. Also, it’s a bit pricy, but okay with the 1 for 1 from #burpplebeyond.

Have always wanted to try the traditional steamed cakes here after it was raved about by @foodkingnoc! The radish cake here was a delight to have as it is stuffed with bits of radish, Chinese sausage and dried shrimp, making every bite different from the previous one. The cake is also topped with lots of fried shallots that added crunch to each bite. Top it off with the sambal if you want an extra kick; the sambal packs a punch!

Dessert : Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake , Chocolate Royaltine Cake , Spectuloos Cheesecake

Drink : Matcha Honey Yuzu and Mango Tango

I can now happily say that I LOVE PV's cupcakes; moist batter loaded with flavour - something that would surely satisfy the tastebuds of sweet tooths. The former is a spiced apple cake with a vanilla custard centre that's topped with a caramel-swirl vanilla custard frosting and custard cream biscuit - really loved this a lot for its rich cinnamon-y sweet taste - while the latter is a maple cake filled with pecans inside and topped with luscious maple buttercream and a maple pecan brittle; feels like a slightly more sinful version of American pancakes, but hey, not complaining at all! 😋

With my first experience at PV being so filled with sweet memories (literally), I'd confidently say I'll be back again for more. It's not often that I'm thoroughly impressed by cupcakes, and the ones here just hit the nail on every head. 😉

I usually can’t go meatless but when it’s mushroom AND cheese I make an exception. The portobello bagel was very hearty and a good mess of thick juicy portobello mushroom, burrata, sweet cherry tomatoes and greens with a layer of hummus.
Coffee-wise, they are currently serving a house blend (Vanta - Brazil/ Colombia) and a single origin roast. Went with the Vanta blend, the iced white (4 oz $4.50) was pretty smooth and nutty.
This place is a perfect hideout for an afternoon in this unforgiving weather.

One of the collection is Chocolat No.5 which showcases premium dark chocolate Sacher sponge cake, coated with almond hazelnut feuilletine, light chocolate ganache, chocolate chiffon cake, topped with chocolate creme Chantilly and finished with a charcoal spray for a classic look. Gold dusted crumble is added for a touch of elegance.

Finally tried this highly acclaimed cheesecake after hearing so much abt ‘the Hilton’s cheesecake’. Well, they have several types of cheesecakes - blueberry, walnut. Decided to go for the good old American cheesecake

Light, velvety, suede-like consistency, this cheesecake is tangy, smooth and rich. Not bad at all! But I personally prefer my cheesecake on the dense side. My biggest gripe is with the almost non existent graham crust! 😭

Matcha Fondue. Gooey bittersweet dip made with white chocolate and matcha. Assorted sides such as Shiratama Dango, strawberries, bananas and waffle biscuits are provided along with a choice of #matcha or vanilla ice cream. This was so good that i was slurping up the remaining fondue after all the sides were eaten. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Matcha Fondue with Assorted Sides - $14.90

Desserts is the selling point of the shop and this matcha fondue is a great choice for a sweet ending. Melted white chocolate mixed with matcha powered, not too sweet, not too bitter, a nice balance, a nice texture. It’s a pleasure eating the fondue, just that the amount of sides provided is too little in my opinion
