I came across this Japanese bakery this morning while surfing Instagram (should've been studying but I was bored out of my mind) and took a screenshot as I always do. I have a whole album of places to try but hardly ever get down to actually checking them out. So I surprised myself when we actually went down to this lil hole-in-the-wall cake shop right after a Two Wings dinner nearby. As we approached it from a distance, the sign said it was closed and they were packing up. But lucky for us, one of the girls gestured for me to come in (she could probably see the sadness and tears welling up in my eyes). Okay back to the food, cos that's what we're all here for, right? The Mount Fuji Cake (what a cutie name☺️) was light and fluffy, with whole chestnuts buried in the cream between the layers of chocolate sponge. A crisp thin puff pastry in the centre was a nice surprise. I preferred this to the strawberry Mille feuille which had too thick a layer of cream for my liking, but I suppose the layers of puff pastry were a nice juxtaposition to it. Would I come back? Hm, if I'm in the area. I did see my favourite muffin shop nearby 😉
